Now the Continuing Education Cell under CIICP had been renamed as  CCTEK during the year 2002-2003.

The major thrust is on the Continuing Education Cell which encompasses the needs of the Industry, Business and Community by organizing short/full term training programmes.  With new economic avenues opening up, especially with the introduction of liberalization, privatization and globalization policies by the Govt., the need of the personnel working in the above areas demand upgradation of their skills to match the introduction of new technologies.  These are the areas where the Continuing Education Cell plays a great role in organizing programmes to meet the demand. Running of programmes would generate revenue which is utilized for the overall development of the institution as and when decided by the Advisory Committee of the institute.

In addition, the Continuing Education Cell identifies the needs of the students for easy employability by giving suitable inputs through guest lectures, Industrial visits and updating of the syllabus periodically to include technological changes with active participation from Industry / Business and Professionals.

A number of courses are conducted for various officers of the Secretariat, Agricultural department, various other colleges and a vast number for the public with a nominal cost.
