Krishna Pillai, Chairman The progress of our nation attains perfection only when the rural folks and downtrodden progress. These words quoted by the ‘Mahatma’ is the force that made us to establish “CAPE INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY” The ultimate goal of our institution is to excite the studious scholars, nurturing them with an aim of highlighting the inborn talents and embedded skills in young men and women and raise their standards to perfect professional and brand them ‘CAPE’. Enriching employability skills is the crying need of the hour. Right from inception, this institution has become synonymous with strict discipline, academic excellence and placement opportunities. The Institution is designed with infrastructure to perfection with all the amenities and facilities accommodated. CARE, Cape Attributes Renewable Energy the R&D center has laid the foundation in the progress of young research scholars in future. The vision of Cape is to make this Institution emerge as “Cape University”. The process of branding of the institution is done by raising the talents and bringing out the best of the faculty. The threshold of Cape is to open a silver lining of prosperity, progress and plenty. ‘The best is yet to be’ says T.S.Eliot. We await for our “Vision Visualized” “CAPE is committed to create an ambience apt for nurturing innovation, creativity and excellence in our students. We strongly support interdisciplinary research and development for the benefit of industry. The institution believes in producing professionals who are not only highly skilled in their field of work but also have it in them to assume the role of managers and leaders of the future. We are proud to say that the institution is adequately geared to succeed in this mission and our success story of the past decade is a testimony to it”. Our Belief : The CAPE Education System is designed on the belief that holistic learning requires the involvement of the students, faculty, management of the institution and parents in order to ensure that the student transforms into a responsible, well-rounded individual, ready to take on the challenges of an increasingly complex work environment. P R I N C I PA L’ S M E S S AG E Dr.N. Azhagesan, Principal D I R E C TO R ’ S M E S S AG E Er.E. Lekshmanan, Director The making of Cape is a step by step progress and in the years to come it is sure to reap fruits of SUCCESS. To achieve things we have to approach differently. Hence the next target is to transform CAPE, an Industry based -Institution so that student may not go anywhere to fetch a job. It would provide an education not for theory accumulation but an education that would provide an opportunity that would serve both the individual and the society. CAPE believes in delivering value-based education of high standard in order to ensure that, every product of CAPE is well recognised by the industry. We not only groom our students to become excellent engineers who go on to add tremendous value to the industry through their technical abilities but also equip them with the confidence and knowledge required to chase global opportunity. I firmly believe that “every effort and every achievement at CAPE will play a defining role in each student’s life”. CAPE has got many Dreams to come true. Think Big is the Policy of CAPE. Hence it has achieved various milestones and it has a thirst for more and more progress. CAPE would be the first Institution that would fine tune with the Educational Industrial Policies and it would mark itself an institution par excellence.
