siliconindia | | February 202019Seshadripuram Educational Trust encourages sustainable accomplishments & promotes all forms of excellence among students & faculty with a structured system of rewards & recognitiontrust has an enviable track record, wherein 102 out of 900 students in the current UG batch have scored more than 90 percent in the qualifying examinations, not to men-tion its excellent placement records with highest CTC last year, going up to Rs.4.5 LPA, thanks to its well-organized placement process.Nurturing Industry-Ready StudentsBeside an active Business Lab conducting continuous activities to expose students to industry requirements & practical application of knowledge, Seshadripuram Educa-tional Trust also offers value addition training programmes in a sustained and structured manner across six semesters in communication skills, personality development and placement readiness training entirely free-of-cost through professional trainers. In fact, short-term skill development courses in Tally, Photoshop, Digital Marketing and MS Excel are also offered free-of-cost, aside from numerous certified courses like Microsoft Office Specialist, Compet-itive Examinations, Stocks & Commodities Markets, SAP, Python and so forth. A strong proponent of technology, the trust encourages the usage of ICT by faculties, MOOCS courses and interaction with educationalists worldwide via Skype calls under the Microsoft Educator Programme.Seshadripuram Educational Trust encourages sustain-able accomplishments and promotes all forms of excel-lence among students & faculty with a structured system of rewards & recognition. Students have achieved recog-nition at the national & international levels in sports, cul-tural and academic activities as well. "We're carrying-on a sustained attempt to mold students into socially respon-sible & productive citizens with active NSS, NCC, YRC, Rangers and Rovers units. We create a respect in students for the great architects of modern India ­ Swami Vive-kananda, Gandhiji and Dr. B R Ambedkar, through active Study Centres," adds N. R. Panditharadhya, President, Seshadripuram Educational Trust. Strong Value SystemThe most striking aspect of its institutions is the social ac-creditation they enjoy; the public perception that these in-stitutions are functioning on the bedrock of a strong value system that is dovetailed with use of technology and the requirements of the present higher educational scenario. "We have systems in place (fee concessions and scholar-ships through alumni funds) to provide assistance to the genuinely needy students. In fact, our college offices en-sure that students avail all scholarships for which they are eligible," remarks Dr. Wooday P Krishna, Honorary Gen-eral Secretary, Seshadripuram Educational Trust.Many of its students who pursue professional courses like CA, CS, and ICWA struggle to balance their college academics and attendance requirements. For them, Se-shadripuram Educational Trust provides a small support in attendance without compromising on university or college rules. Similarly, for students who are compelled to take-on part time jobs to support their parents or to pay their fees, the institutions attempt to put them onto work which they can pursue after classes without disrupting their academ-ics. As the trust's institutions in smaller towns like Mysuru & Tumakuru and suburbs like Kengeri & Yelahanka draw many students from rural areas, Seshadripuram Educa-tional Trust provides bus services so that the students in remote areas benefit from the quality education imparted in the institutions.The institutions have a healthy mix of experienced and young faculty who are constantly nurtured via periodical Faculty Development Programmes on pedagogy & re-search, and Training Programmes & Workshops conducted by other institutions. They are encouraged to be innovative in their teaching methods. Not only can they avail leave without pay for one semester to complete their Ph.D. pro-gramme, but are given a special allowance for clearing NET/SLET and having an M.Phil. or a Ph.D degree.All Set to Uplift More LivesSeshadripuram Educational Trust intends to keep capital-izing on its strength and introduce new courses within the discipline periodically. For instance, within a few years, it has added M.Com (Financial Analysis) and M.Com (International Business) to its initial General M.Com pro-gramme. The trust has already got approval to commence with the prestigious B.Com (Honours) programme from next year and aims to periodically introduce the latest up-dated courses, so it can uplift the lives of more students.
