It is with great pride and purpose that I welcome you to the College of IT and Management Education (CIME), Bhubaneswar.

As a constituent college of Biju Patnaik University of Technology (BPUT), Odisha, CIME has played a quiet but important role in shaping the careers of thousands of students over the past two decades. Today, we stand at the threshold of a new chapter - one where we renew our commitment to academic excellence, student-centric innovation, and industry relevance.

At CIME, our mission is simple but powerful: to create career-ready, confident, and socially responsible professionals who can thrive in a fast-changing world. We are working towards making our institution a vibrant learning hub, where tradition meets technology, and students are equipped not just with degrees, but with the mindset, skills, and values needed for real-world success.

My vision for CIME is rooted in five pillars:

• Quality in Teaching and Learning through innovative pedagogy and digital tools.
• Stronger Industry Linkages (Partnering & Networking) for internships, live projects, and placements.
• Faculty Empowerment and Collaboration, ensuring an inspired and accountable academic team.
• Research and Innovation Culture, engaging both students and faculty in meaningful exploration.
• Student Development Beyond the Classroom, nurturing leadership, ethics, and entrepreneurship.

We are actively pursuing accreditation, curriculum enrichment, infrastructure expansion, and revival of alumni and student clubs. Our campus is being reimagined - not just in terms of buildings and technology, but in culture, attitude, and aspiration.

At CIME, we don't just prepare students for jobs - we prepare them for life.

I invite you to be a part of this journey of transformation - whether as a student, parent, faculty member, alumnus, or industry partner.

Warm regards,
Prof. (Dr) Deepak Kumar Sahoo
