    Unbelievable campus and was amazed with the Lab infrastructure, Teaching methodology and Framework. Very well informed and researched leadership. It was a pleasant and wonderful experience at SEC.
  • Ms. Rohini, Master's in Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Windsor, Canada

    The most significant period of my student life was at Saveetha Engineering College (SEC). In SEC I learned the confidence to accomplish something that I previously thought was quite unachievable. When I got the chance to pursue an engineering degree, I was eager to learn new skills in the heart of Chennai, particularly at the SEC, to prepare me for the remainder of my coursework and future employment. If you want a fantastic environment and intriguing study options right in Chennai, SEC is one of the BEST options. I am now a proud Saveetha Engineering College alumni who have accomplished something greater than my wildest dreams.
  • Ms. Chandragiri Preethi, Master’s in Business Analytics, University of New Haven, USA

    My journey with Saveetha Engineering College (SEC) was incredible. We all know that college life plays a vital role in every student's life. I have enjoyed my student life during my Bachelor’s. Saveetha enhances the students to gain knowledge and confidence in every aspect. We have the best faculty and infrastructure too. The years I spent here, gave me a lot of memories for a lifetime. I got placed in IBM as an Associate Application Developer through Saveetha placements. Currently, I am pursuing my Master’s in Business Analytics at the University of New Haven, USA.
  • Ms. E. Cindhu, Application Developer, IBM

    College life is known as one of the most memorable years of one's life. It is entirely different from school life. In same way college life at Saveetha exposes us to new experiences and things that we were not familiar with earlier. Saveetha Engineering College provides us wide variety of activities from which students can explore academics, sports and lot more co-curricular events. These activities not only allow students to interact with each other but also help them to grow their selfconfidence. I elect myself as one of the examples. I built lot more self-confidence to face the external world with courage. Also, I had student friendly environment which makes me free to raise queries regarding academics and co-curricular activities.
  • Mr. Raghavender, placed at SAP

    Hi! Education is our passport to the future. Saveetha Engineering College, so passionately encouraged us to explore more in the field of engineering. Being a Computer Science graduate, I was provided with immense opportunities such as Hackathons, Technical Events, and Webinars of various Top organizations. Professors are very friendly-minded and helped us to explore to the fullest.
  • Ms. S. Divya, SAP Consultant, IBM India Pvt. Ltd.

    A college is a crucial part of everyone's life. To learn, have fun and set up a path in your career! A college is moreover a collaboration of everything to make us a better person in life by expertise! If you admit it, then trust me Saveetha Engineering College is probably the best! I have been to three Hackathons in my four years journey. We had an opportunity to showcase our technical skills and present our projects to the Government of India.
  • Mr. Thilak Gowtham T N, Product Consultant, ZOHO

    Saveetha Engineering College (SEC) gave me a phenomenal space for holistic development. SEC has set up grounds for a complete progressive career. Saveetha Engineering College has been a turning point and my alma mater for success. Along with work, I am also a part of the Executive MBA class from a top B school that happened due to the rich experience I had during my undergraduate days at SEC.
