The course on Legal Literacy is in collaboration with the National Law School of India University. The programme on Leadership and Personal Excellence is conceived around Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) techniques and tools to provide students with skills to realise their hidden potential, enhance their self-image, boost their performance and to acquire personal mastery and well being.

Under the Film Production Course, each student would have to conceptualise and complete a short film of eight to 12 minutes. The production process will be guided to develop student creativity and film research skills in a structured manner.

College principal Dr. (Fr.) Ambrose Pinto S.J. says that several of the programmes are geared towards skills.

"There are a number of students who desire to make careers out of the skills. Some of the courses may help them. There are others who desire to go beyond what is taught in the classrooms. Some of the courses are for that purpose."
