Dear Knowledge Seekers,
Standing at the first quarter of the 21st century, it is the right time to look up and decipher practical and effective ways of making education a zestful factor of life. Education is a wholesome concept that focuses on enhancement of knowledge and also takes along the responsibility to leave an impact on each individual to make their lives better, meaningful and successful. The pandemic tremor has left every walk of life changed and the lever to tune the next generation back to normalcy is entrusted in the hands of every educational institution. The responsibility of an educational platform has taken a newer dimension where it is reached out not just to gain knowledge but it is sought after with an expectation to find a mentored platform to chisel and bring to realisation the prime focus and the truest essence of each individual. Education cannot just stand as a tool to bind the focus of the students. It is expected to render more opportunities and innovative learning platforms that can beat out meagre diversions and distractions of youngsters.
The hallmark of our institution is handling a heterogeneous group with a well-balanced method of learning that would successfully straighten all the strings of differences and rope them together as one big community of engineers. The youngsters of today need to learn the profound way of channelizing their thoughts, segregating their distractions, selecting the right options, navigating through the right path, analyzing the core of education and to introspect the real search. The arena of education needs to give every student a stage to practise for life, a field to prepare for challenges, a track to race for victory and a table to sort the prospects of their future.
With best wishes for glorious and promising future.

Dear Visitor,
The primary responsibility of an educational institution is to provide high quality education and the tools to empower its students to excel in their respective fields. A large part of providing these services of the highest standards is the ability of the institution to consistently update their knowledge of industry requirements and challenges, emerging trends in education and industry, advancements in research, and technological solutions in education. The advent of COVID-19 shed light on the antiquated approach to teaching and learning in the age of monumental technological advancement. The virtual learning experience during the pandemic had its challenges, but it created an opportunity for us to take the next step in the classroom experience- one where our students have increased flexibility and technological assistance in their educational journey.
We understand the role of the faculty and management in enhancing the quality of our services. Some of our strategies to address this include:
- Mandatory Faculty Industry Immersion Programs (FIIP) which allow faculty members to gain hands-on industry experience
- Mandatory Faculty Development Programs (FDP) which provides the opportunity for faculty members to update their domain knowledge and teaching pedagogy
- Mandatory Faculty Performance Review (FPR) to appreciate and guide our faculty members so that they may grow and create a positive impact on our students
- Mandatory research contribution from faculty members
- Monthly review meetings of the institution wherein strategies for development and innovation are discussed to improve the quality of education
- Monthly open house sessions with student class representatives are held on-campus by the management. Here we address anonymous concerns and suggestions from students by providing a collaborative atmosphere, where the Director of Academics and I talk strategies with students to create a better student experience.
I encourage prospective students to look forward to the enriching opportunities provided by our institution, the details of which can be found in this website, and allow us to help you become the best version of yourselves.
With best wishes,
— Ms. Harini Ravi
