Cookie Policy

A cookie is a small piece of data that a website sends to your browser when you access information at that site. This website may use cookies and similar technologies that are necessary for the website to function (for example, session management, accessibility preferences such as text size or contrast, and language selection).

When you use the language translation feature, Google Translate may set its own cookies (including googtrans) to remember your language preference. Please also refer to Google’s own privacy and cookie policies for details of how Google processes such data.

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect certain features of the website, including language translation and accessibility preferences.

Language Translation Policy

This website uses Google Translator (Google Translate) to provide on-page language translation for users.

Translations displayed through the language selector are generated by fully automated machine translation using Google Translator. Due to limitations in the accuracy of machine translation technology, readers should refer to the English version of this website in case of any doubt, ambiguity or discrepancy.

The English version remains the official and authoritative content of the GKCIET website. Translated text is provided only as a convenience to help users understand the information in Indian languages and is not a certified translation.

Content Archival Policy

Notices, circulars, tenders, reports and other time-bound documents published on this website are retained as per institutional practice.

The IT Cell monitors the public website to maintain availability, quality and GIGW conformity, including:

  • Availability / uptime of the public site and critical services
  • Broken or outdated internal and external links (periodic checks)
  • Freshness of notices, announcements and key institutional information
  • Accessibility and usability issues reported by users
  • Security advisories applicable to the hosting stack

Issues may be reported to sm@gkciet.ac.in. There shall be no intentional “under construction” destination pages on the live site.

Website administrators review monitoring results in the CMS (Site → Website monitoring), where broken-link checks, policy-review due dates, and open issues are listed, and responsible officers are notified when new problems are detected.

Contingency Management Plan

In the event of prolonged outage, cyber incident or data loss affecting the public website, the IT Cell will take steps to restore service from available backups, publish a temporary maintenance notice where feasible, and communicate status through alternate institutional channels as required.

Critical notices may also be circulated via email / official social channels when the website is unavailable. Contingency actions are coordinated by the Web Information Manager / IT Cell with Institute administration.
