The institute do strengthen the ideological and political education of college students, firmly establish the concept of "education as the foundation, establish morality and cultivate people", study and follow the two characteristics and laws of students' physical and mental development and student work. The teachers take the value guidance as the starting line, ensure stability and safety as the bottom line, promote the healthy growth and development of students as the main line, and focus on the construction of study style to carry out various student work, so as to promote the comprehensive development of students. Always adhere to the guideline of improving students' comprehensive quality and professional skills, follow up service and create conditions, and actively participate in high-level professional science and technology competitions at the national and provincial levels.Insist on opening scientific and technological activity rooms and scientific research platforms to students to create conditions for students to participate in teachers' scientific research projects and scientific and technological innovation activities. In 2019, Software Class 171 won the collective title of provincial excellent class, Science of Computing 162 Zhao Sixiu, Software 171 Xu Chang won the honorary title of “three good students” at the provincial level. Network 163 Li Hairu was evaluated as an outstanding student cadre in Henan Province, and Xu Xiao and other six people won the title of outstanding graduates at the provincial level.
