The department was initiated in 2012 as the ‘Training Centre’ to enhance the employability quotient of the students at the KIET Group of Institutions and make them apt for the disruptively evolving scenario in the world of business. The team’s objective is to make the students aware of and agile enough to meet the shift from KSA (Knowledge, Skills, and Attitude) to ASK (Attitude, Skills, and Knowledge), and face this head-on.

The department was formalized and rechristened in 2018 as the Department of Humanities and Social Sciences, which amalgamated the experiences and skills of faculty members from three domains – Soft Skills, English Communication, and Aptitude. This merger has enabled the department to grow by leaps and bounds which is reflected in the upward trend of recruitments happening from the campus. The professionals from the department make highly focused efforts to assist the students in creating an apt balance between their Emotional Quotient (EQ) and Intelligence Quotient (IQ) that makes the students capable individuals who can contribute meaningfully to the uplift of society in general.
