Dr G. Parameshwara, Chancellor (SSAHE) & Honorable Home Minister of Karnataka, Sri Siddhartha Institute of Technology (SSIT)
As the IT sector continues to evolve, MCA colleges in Karnataka are not only imparting academic knowledge but also bridging the gap between classroom learning and professional readiness through internships, industry collaborations, and innovation-driven pedagogy. Among these institutions, Sri Siddhartha Institute of Technology (SSIT), Tumkur, stands out for its rich legacy and forward-looking approach. Established in 1979 under the aegis of the Sri Siddhartha Education Society (SSES), an educational trust founded in 1959, SSIT began its journey with just two engineering branches, Civil and Mechanical Engineering.
Over the decades, it has grown into a comprehensive center for technical education by expanding into disciplines such as Electronics, Computer Science, Electrical, Telecommunication, Information Science, and the MCA program, which was launched in 1998.
Today, SSIT is a constituent college of Sri Siddhartha Academy of Higher Education (a deemed-to-be university) and has embraced new-age programs in Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning, Data Science, Cybersecurity, Robotics, and Management (MBA). With a commitment to staying relevant in a fast-changing academic landscape, the institute continually updates its curriculum and infrastructure to meet industry standards.
Guided by its Chancellor, Dr G. Parameshwara, who also serves as the Hon’ble Home Minister of Karnataka, SSIT continues to empower students from diverse backgrounds, reinforcing its mission of delivering quality higher education that prepares graduates for successful global careers.
