Batch of 2015
Assistant Director – Academics,
IC3 Institute
An excellent environment to nurture that seed of learning as it gave you the opportunity to choose things that fit within your ballpark of interests, and things that you feel connected with, and things that you care about. At the same time, it gave you the opportunity to immerse yourself in things that you don’t know, things that you are not aware of, or not experienced, and help unlock another unexplored dimension to yourself, which I found invaluable.

The college always supported anything a student wanted to do and all that was needed was enough interest, enough research and as long as it was pitched well, they would support to get it done.

There is equal weightage given to the arts and the sciences, and that is becoming increasingly important when you go to the workplace... if you are at the right intersection between the hard science and the hard skills and the soft skills, you are poised for growth for sure, but also, you are poised for growth in leadership.

SSLA has definitely provided a space with ample opportunities – both academic and extra-curricular for students to develop skills that can be used across the board and will cater to whatever interests you may have, regardless of your major.
