Fostering Excellence in Education
It was Pythagorus who once said, "Choices are the hinges of destiny."Especially, when one is at the crossroads of choosing a career and the decision taken at that moment decides the course for the future, then certainly choices are indeed the hinges of destiny. . When it comes to higher education, opportunities definitely follow those who select the right academic subjects for study at the right time. Namita Krishnan always aspired to pursue engineering after her twelfth grade. However, she was unable to identify opportunities and the institutions that could provide her the desired choice of higher education. In the process, she learnt that she was not alone; many of the other students had gone through similar experiences. Finding the right institute for the courses and degrees they wanted to pursue to other details such as course fees, living expenses, was a painful ordeal. After much searching, she finally came across Sahyadri College of Engineering & Management which is affiliated to VTU & AICTE and approved by the Govt. of Karnataka & HRD Ministry, Govt. of India and found to her satisfaction that the institution promotes quality education in the area of technical education which strives to develop as a world class technical institute that imparts quality education for the students.
