  • B.Sc. Computer Science (1992-95), Aditanar College of Arts and Science
    The years spent in Aditanar College has been a life changing one for me. As a teenager who did all his schooling outside Tamil Nadu (as my father was in Army), it was not easy to settle down in the remote town like Tiruchendur. But as days progressed, I started enjoying my maiden hostel life, living with amazing fellow students from all walks of life. Beyond the academic excellence, Aditanar College instilled a great sense of moral values and helped me in transforming into a wholesome person. The rich foundational knowledge gained in those 3 years helped in excelling at my Post graduation and in building a career at a global organization like HCL. I am happy to share that everybody in my batch have excelled in their professional life and we owe this success to all the great staffs of Aditanar College. My best wishes to this awesome institute to continue with their endeavor to transform the life of all its students and the society by and large.

    Aditanar college was a turning point in my life, apart from the technical skills which we gained doing my undergraduate it gave us enough confidence that we can face the world with the life lessons we learned there. It instilled an enormous confidence that we can learn and achieve anything as we are ingrained to look things from first principle approach. The Institution’s culture instils a rare trait in us, that is, you are no less than anyone, which helps us face the world with so much confidence. We have enormous access to books in library with no limit on how many books to borrow and when to return, and access to the computer lab whenever we need it. During our time, getting access to a computer and having a support system to nature one’s talent was unheard. Aditanar college gave everything an aspiring youth needed, helped us to compete in various computer related competition with full support that helped in nurturing the competitive spirt that is very useful in latter part of our life. Aditanar college was a wonderful experience.
