Message From
Board of Trustees
It gives us immense pleasure to address this message to all stakeholders of the ever growing
Saffrony family.
Since the last around one and a half years, incredible efforts are being made on almost all
fronts viz. faculty recruitment and development, laboratory enrichment, employability skills
enhancement, placements, modern teaching aids, campus development, etc. to make
learning more interesting and meaningful. It has yielded good dividends in the form of
improved results and enhanced institute ranking.
However, our endeavour is to go far beyond academics and curriculum. We strive for
holistic development of youth. Besides domain proficiency, we intend to impart value
education which will make students socially attentive and spiritually aware.
Though the future is full of promises and opportunities, it poses a few challenges
too. The world is changing at a very fast pace. We will have to be proactive,
anticipate changes ad take corrective action expeditiously. We would like to
thank the Board of Governors, Faculty, Administration Team, Industry Partners
and Vendors for their invaluable contribution in achieving this progress.
Looking forward to exciting times together...
On Behalf of BOARD OF TRUSTEES,
- Managing Trustee

How to Study
How To Focus
IN THE ERA OF DISTRACTIONS
§ A student is one who knows 'how to study' and a good student is one who does this
sincerely, making studies a number one priority.
§ How to Study' is both a science and an art and those students and teachers who master
the psychological and methodological principles of learning achieve excellent results.
§ Students must know what time of day suits them best for studies. We believes in
creative, long lasting and conceptual grasping of subject content; traditional
methods of rote learning and one way lecture communication are long outdated.
§ Students must read their session content in advance, come prepared with an
initial reading on the session to be taught in class and through expert faculty's
interactive learning sessions, debates and discussions, the quality of
learning improves.
§ Habits of reading newspapers, science and technology journals, additional
reference books are a must in order to bridge curriculum knowledgegaps to keeping abreast of latest technological developments in each
and every field.
§ Saffrony promotes the use of, hand notes, use of multimedia tools,
smart boards, audio visual methods, corporate websites and
internet resources.
Take Care of Your Health.
Prioritise your work.
Focus your resources.
Concentrate on doing one thing at a time.
Celebrate small successes.
