A Transformational Sanctuary
Malla Reddy Engineering College has one of the best career development cells in Hyderabad through which they produce professionals who are not only skilled but also hold values.
The annual fest Akshara is a big event in Malla Reddy Engineering College and the entire event is managed by the students, staring from sponsorship to the choice of delegates. By giving them responsibilities, the institution prepares students for their careers in a way that no subject in a class will. “Two days before our fest, our sponsors backed out at the last moment and left us with no funding. That was when we learned about crisis management, we mustered up the courage and started all over again with the sponsorship hunt and in the end we were funded by Sahara group of Industries,” recounts Abhinav Sharma, ex student’s representative, event management team, Malla Reddy Engineering College.
