Co-curricular

Trips reinforce experiential and contextual learning and are a way of enhancing classroom learning by making real world connections. The Field trips and outbound trips at CMR PU are researched, planned and executed for grade specific learning outcomes. We therefore encourage all the students to participate and experience the real world scenarios to enrich their college term with us.

“I was given the chance to take part in the World Exposure Programme hosted by the institute and it was an amazing experience. I worked at Canasu Dream Foundation as an intern. As someone with zero work experience it really helped me boost my practical skills. Not to forget, it helped me gain a lot of confidence as well. I improved my verbal skills as I gave presentations on the research work I did and that  simultaneously helped me acquire a lot of knowledge about various AI tools which I never knew existed.I worked on researching about free AI sites that is on resume builders, interview guides, personality sites etc. and then turned them into videos which were later uploaded on YouTube.

To conclude, I would like to say that my overall experience there was amazing.I definitely have gained a lot of positive traits from my time there and it has been great interning there.”

“I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity provided by the Work Exposure Program (WEP). My one month internship at Fitbots has been really transformative. The experience at Fitbots was highly satisfactory, allowing me to grow both personally and professionally. I want to express my sincere appreciation for your efforts in organising and facilitating this internship. Your commitment to connecting students with valuable industry experiences is very commendable.Thank you for believing in my potential and for enabling me to embark on this lovely journey.The knowledge and skills gained will undoubtedly help me in my future endeavours.”

The Work Exposure Programme (WEP) is an opportunity for students to learn about different work areas and develop the understanding required to succeed in those professions. The WEP offers students carefully curated opportunities for students to work in a professional setting for 6-8 weeks and gain real-time experience on what it takes to succeed in the workplace. They also learn to take on challenges, meet deadlines and exceed expectations at a young age. They also understand nuances of the professional environment, such as teamwork, time management, discipline, decision-making, networking and more.

In 2023, students were offered over 130 internship opportunities with leading organisations in Bengaluru. From design internships to social experiences, our students came out with wonderful reflections on what it means to be in the workplace. They also received glowing recommendations from our partner organisations.

Leema had the opportunity to shadow Mr.Mohammed Imran, IT Infrastructure and Technology Head of Acubel IT Solutions.She had the opportunity to see daily tasks. She was also introduced to software, how it’s developed and its uses. She had the opportunity to listen to client interactions and custom requirements . She was also able to understand and see the role, responsibility and the lifestyle in the IT sector. She was impressed with the immense amount of learning and corporate exposure opportunities she had.

Chetana had the privilege of job shadowing Dr.Lalchand, who is a Cardiac Surgeon at Manipal Hospitals.She had the opportunity to go on a daily rounds following up on the patients with recent surgery, interact with the doctor and the team to understand their roles, responsibilities and lifestyle. She was also able to understand the educational and career path she needs to follow from now in order to become a successful cardiologist in the future.

As an institution, we believe in equipping our students with the necessary tools and insights to make informed decisions about their future careers. The Job Shadowing Program offers a unique chance for our students to spend a day shadowing professionals in a field of their interest, providing them with invaluable real-world exposure and firsthand experiences.

An initiative to care for our community. The SLP program focuses on teaching students on how to give back to the community by raising funds and providing for their needs. The prime focus for the Academic year 2023-2024 was making our environment cleaner and greener and providing for the basic and learning needs of Jyoti Seva School for the Blind. Funds are raised through food fests and raffle tickets and the proceeds are used to plant saplings, care for them and also provide Brailes, note books, sanitary needs, basic daily essentials, groceries etc. to the Jyoti Seva School for the blind children. It is an enriching experience for our students to do an activity that is selfless.

The most awaited event of the year which is completely student led is Paradox, an inter-college fest where colleges from all over Bengaluru are invited to participate in various competitive events ranging from academic to extracurricular. Events conducted are related to Science, Commerce, Literature and Culture. It is an opportunity for students to participate and exhibit their talents. It is an all-day event with various exciting competitions that require skill and careful execution by the participants. The highlight of the event is the food corner, with the mouthwatering dishes it has to offer.

It is essential that the students are aware of various significant days and events we practice and observe in a calendar year. The students are welcomed into the campus with Fresher’s Day, where they get to break the ice by showcasing their talents.

Other significant days that are observed and celebrated in the campus include Student Council Elections, Environment Day, Independence Day, Karnataka Rajyotsava etc.

It is rather important for students to know how to deal with stress, peer pressure, develop self confidence etc. All of this is achieved through the well being sessions that the college counsellor conducts every month educating the students with the know-how to tackle challenges.

Every month students gear up for different kinds of competitions. It could be Literary, Ethnic, Art, Drama, MUN or more. These events give the students an opportunity to showcase and discover their hidden talents as it provides them with the platform to explore the unknown.

Our students have the opportunity to enjoy time off Academics by engaging in the various club activities organised for them. They can be a part of the Literary, Entrepreneurship, Culinary, Sports and the Arts clubs. Activities specific to each club are conducted every week with the best performing club winning the ‘Best Club Award’ at the end of the Academic Year.

At the recent, DPS MUN held in the last week of June 2018 our students proved that they were truly a cut above the rest. They bagged six special mentions which is a commendable feat.

In our efforts to enrich the learning experience in Government Schools, our College is trying to reach out to the students of the Govt. Higher Primary School, Hennur and the Govt. Primary school, Kacharakanahalli. The students were overjoyed on receiving colouring books and a box of crayons.

This is but a humble beginning that will surely make a huge difference in the lives of these little children.
