In a rapidly evolving world economy, only the toughest survive. Those who are equipped with the knowledge, know-how, and market trends and are adaptable in any given circumstance are the winners. WCTM undoubtedly fills the need for ‘international manpower’ with a focus on the most popular branches of technology, engineering, and management.
Students passing out of this leading institution of north India & Gurgaon have made a mark in leadership roles and continue to do so, some equipped with both, technical and management skills. At WCTM, students are nurtured to study smart, think smart, and work smart.

The global exposure and experience of the Founders of WCTM being Ex-IITians & Ex IIMian have further ensured that the facilities and pedagogy complement each other to stay the course ahead of the curve.
The veritable hub of excellence, WCTM is adequately empowered being one of the first colleges in Gurgaon to have an iOS Lab with Apple computers, an Intel Unnati Center of Excellence for AI, an ABB Robotic Cell and Robotics - AI Centre of Excellence, and an AI & Cyber Security Center of Excellence, which together promote research and innovation. The best hand-picked faculty, who are highly qualified and big names in the education sector, some even internationally renowned names impart teaching and training of the highest calibre, thereby, attracting brilliant minds from Gurugram and neighbouring places around Delhi NCR and other parts of the country.
Keeping abreast of the industry trends across various sectors through teaching, training, interaction, and internship, which are focus areas of the WCTM management and faculty, who work diligently to ensure that each student meets the high benchmarks set for them. There is no place for complacency or mediocrity in the entire gamut of academics and beyond. Building confidence through exposure to industry and its leaders is an integral part of WCTM’s approach to the holistic development of students including confidence, personality building, and professional etiquette.
The curriculum includes continuous industry interactions such as weekly industrial visits, weekly seminars/webinars with industry experts, and industry-oriented training in the latest technologies.

In fact, WCTM has been contributing with a brilliant pool of manpower to drive industries with the support of a proactive alumni and by virtue of its reputation as an institution at the forefront of bringing about self-reliance in India’s economic mission and vision of an Atma Nirbhar Bharat.
As the proverb goes “All work and no play make Jack a dull boy,” it very often is the reason for mediocrity. Well aware of this pitfall, WCTM ensures that apart from inculcating academic excellence and developing scientific temper in students, attention is also given to imbibing values for nurturing a healthy body, mind, and soul through frequent team efforts by organising events such as Zenith Cultural Fest – where national award-winning Bollywood singer B Praak's had performed this year.
Also, a DJ night was held where DJ Aqeel performed on Fresher’s Day. Tech fest, sports fests, and other cultural activities like Diwali Mela New Year Fiesta, etc., bring forth artistic, creative, and sporting talent, and develop a feeling of camaraderie and compassion for overall growth in the students.
WCTM has been ranked 56th position all over India by the Times of India Times Engineering Survey 2024 and is the only private engineering college from Gurgaon to be present on the prestigious list.
