The centre, like other HCL CDCs, aims to impart free IT education to select students from the weaker section of the society, a company release stated.
The centre would provide students with course material, practical classes, hands on training, communication skills, pre-placement, placement activities and guest lectures.
"The IT boom in India has caused a severe shortage of high-skilled ICT engineers. With HCL CDCs, we hope to play a leadership role in enlarging the talent pool available to organisations deploying IT in India," HCL Infosystems Executive Vice-Precident Rajendra Kumar said.
The selection and recommendations of the enrollment of economically weak students would be made from Arsha Dharma Parishad.
The company already has more than 65 fully operational HCL CDCs across the country, the release added.
