How do you feel on winning the award?

We are happy and proud. We feel that we must now live up to our name. Awards like this motivate us to become more responsible towards our duty. We have realized that to maintain our position, we need to emphasise more on providing quality education to our students. We accept the challenge to move ahead to transform the college into a university.


What are three things that helped your college secure the number one position?

We have a clear vision. We have an excellent management team and world-class infrastructure. The performances of our students in the academic and extracurricular activities speak for themselves. All this has helped us secure the top position.


What do you think will be the impact of ranking programmes like this on the education sector?

The ranking programme is unique and different from others as it is very holitistic. New Business Age’s initiative in this regard is really praise-worthy. Such rankings help us know about our own weaknesses and strengths. Events such as these will definitely help the overall development of the education sector in the days to come.



What are your suggestions for the overall improvement of colleges?

Schools should take the initiative to develop themselves and teach students ways to address the current scenario and challenges. Education must make students capable of handling all of what life may throw at them.
