Alumni Speaks
Right from the word go, the day I stepped in Amrita, I was in the awe of the infrastructure the college had to offer to its students, but more than that what really amazed me was the effort put in by the faculty of EEE Department and the management to groom its students to be at par with the professional and corporate needs. Today in the corporate world I find myself at home in most of the circumstances, and that has a lot to do with the rigorous and apposite training given to me during my entire tenure at Amrita. Needless to say, Amrita provided the perfect platform for technical skill development as well as for personality development. The instruments, labs, libraries are of superior quality and have everything that one needs to gain in-depth knowledge in the field of Electrical and Electronics Engineering. I thank Amrita for instilling in me the competitive skills and for teaching me how to be passionate and competent in every endeavor
Aneesh Rajeev, Power System Consultant | RINA Consulting Ltd | UK
Beginning my career with an esteemed company like Nokia wasn’t short of a dream come true and I would really like to dedicate a great part of my success to Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham. It nourished me and thus gave me an opportunity to define me. I thank my EEE department and its faculty members for encouraging me throughout my academic career
Abhinandh B G, M Tech 2017 admission | Placed in Nokia and Cognizant
Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham offers a unique combination of learning and self-development. My knowledge and confidence has been boosted after coming here. As a result, now my confidence is such, that I did my M. Tech project in the esteemed organization, CSIO-CSIR, Chennai and I got placed in Cognizant and Infosys. I would like to express my gratitude to EEE department and its faculty members for helping me in this achievement
Krishna Venugopal, M Tech 2017 admission | Placed in Cognizant and Infosys
Pursuing M. Tech. here in Amrita scaled my industrial exposure up, got myself an internship in an Automotive MNC like Continental in turn expanding my career scope more towards system engineering, a niche sector in Indian industries.
