Introduction:

As creating right kind of leadership in all walks of life is the objective of Vinayakrao Patil Mahavidyalaya, Vaijapur, throughout its meaningful existence spanning 54 years, the institute nurtures talent through conscious efforts. Some ten years ago the rural students of Vaijapur tehsil chose to join the expensive coaching for various competitive examinations. Most of them could not afford to pay the high fees as well as the cost of living in bigger cities like Aurangabad, Pune and Mumbai which have emerged as the coaching centres in the last two decades. Taking this situation into account the IQAC mooted the idea of starting a competitive examination cell in the college itself. With a few breakthroughs, the centre continued to attract the aspirants and the number just went on doubling every coming year. CEC pulled in the pool of expertise available in the college faculty and started to guide students. CEC has blossomed into a full-fledged tree today. During the last five years the CEC could render coaching to over 4000 students both on and off campus. CEC adopted a multi-pronged approach while grooming the aspirants: introducing them to various competitive examinations conducted by the state and central government and organizing competitive examinations.
