T
he placement drive in St. Peters
Engineering College is to come to
an end next month which started in
August 2015 and 75 percent of the
students have already been placed in
companies such as Google, HCL and Mu Sigma.
Maintaining a good record of placement in all the
five batches passed out so far, St.Peters is known
for producing skilled engineers. Training programs
are initiated right from the first semester through
the training and placement cell which has skilled
professionals ranging from soft skills experts to
the technical experts. The students are trained
on soft skills and personality development by the
experts and turned into confident professionals by
the time they walk out of the institution.
Technical trainings are provided with the help of
several MoUs the institution maintains with reputed
training institutes and organizations. St.Peters maintains
collaborations with Electronics Corporation of India,
Oracle Corporation and IBM for training and other activities
such as industry visits, internships and guest lectures. The
industry interactions make the students aware of the market
trends and learn about the jobs they will do in the future.
Many students also get called back for jobs in the company
they do their internships with. The internships prepare the
students for the industry in a way the normal college days can
never do. Outdoor activities are also a large part of the training
that the students undergo in order to prepare them for
the industry and the future. "œWe had to shut down the
registration for the annual Airtel Hyderabad Marathon as we
did not expect that volume of response from the students,"
says Muhammad Saleem, an alumnus, reminiscing about
his days with St.Peters Engineering College. The annual
Airtel Marathon participation was initiated by Saleem as a
refreshing change to the usual events and his expectations
were far exceeded by the number of students who stepped
up. That year 180 students participated in the annual
marathon competition making it a ritual and now every year
the students from St. Peters Engineering college take part
in the event.
The institute has several clubs that cater to the varied
interests of the students, from NSS to cultural clubs. The
students frequently participate in blood donation camps
and clean up drives and also organize plantation drives on
a regular basis. By encouraging the students to participate
in social activities the institution ensures that they become
