M R Rao, Provost of the school, said efforts are on to obtain international accreditation for the school, which already has approval from All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE). The school also has a number of visiting faculties from across the globe, he said, adding that research and publications were being encouraged for permanent teachers.
According to Vishnuprasad Nagadevara, Dean of Woxsen, the school is also focussing on promoting entrepreneurial spirit among the students, with an in-house incubator called Trade Tower. “We are helping students validate their ideas,” he added.
