STUDENT TESTIMONIES

Mr. MOGAL INULLA BAIG (2020-2022)

I am an M. Tech VLSI Design graduate from Karunya Institute of Technology and Sciences. Thanks to the institute's rigorous academic curriculum and dedicated faculty by which I landed a placement at Tessolve Semiconductors Pvt. Ltd. The hands-on experience and exposure to industry projects prepared me well for the challenges ahead. Currently, I am thriving in my role at Cadence, Noida, where I continue to apply the skills honed during my academic journey. Karunya Institute not only equipped me with technical expertise but also instilled in me values that guide my professional life. I am grateful for the placement support and holistic education provided by my alma mater. To aspiring engineers, I highly recommend Karunya for its industry-aligned programs and transformative learning environment.
PEARLY PRINCESS. J (2019-2021)

I am delighted that KITS has given me an opportunity to pursue my career as a research scholar. I did both my bachelor's and master's degree in the Department of ECE in the same campus and have returned as a research scholar. During my 6 years of stay in the lush green campus, I received placement offers from 2 core companies (T&VS, HYUNDAI MOBIS) and 1 software company (Accenture). I am grateful to the faculty of my department, for the high standards in teaching and learning, as a result of which I am able to pursue my doctoral research. I have learnt valuable lessons during the 6 year study under the able guidance of excellent faculty members, who have enlightened and transformed me. This is the campus which has empowered me both spiritually and academically, I am proud to be a Karunyan.
