Centurion University of Technology and Management (CUTM),Odisha is accredited with NAAC A+ grade and is a notified skill university by the of Odisha government and a Centre of Excellence recognized by the union ministry of skill development. The journey of Centurion University of Technology and Management (CUTM) began in the year 2005 by a group of ambitious academicians with an aspiration to provide high quality education both nationally and internationally. The first step in this direction was to take over an ailing engineering institute, Jagannath Institute for Technology and Management (JITM) in one of most challenging tribal district of Odisha and one which was transformed into Centurion University of Technology and Management in August 2010, through an act of Odisha legislative assembly. It became the first multi-sector state private university in Odisha. It is the only university in the state which is declared as Skill University by government of Odisha.
Objectives of the Conference
