During the Silver Jubilee year 2006-2007, the endeavor of the management and faculty of ESCI is to elevate the institution to the highest class of top-Ranking training and consultancy organisations in India . At a time when the Nation requires Centers of Excellence for training technological and managerial personnel at all levels, it is hoped that Engineering Industry and organizations help us through participation in ESCI programmes and consultancy opportunity to meet this avowed objective. Our search to find new heights continues.
