Testimonials

Ms. Pooja Awati
Batch 2017

"The CSE department at SGBIT nurtures both technical and soft skills. The department advisory board activities, alumni interactions, and industry talks gave us a clear picture of the professional world. The transition from a developer to a product analyst was smoother because of the problem-solving mindset cultivated at SGBIT."

Ms. Sejal Patil
Batch 2020

"Being the batch topper was a great honor, but what I treasure more is the holistic development SGBIT offered. The faculty were always accessible, the mentoring program helped me navigate academic challenges, and the NPTEL courses encouraged me to continuously upskill. Infosys was a natural next step after such a well-rounded education."

Mr. Abhinandan Nasalapure
Batch 2015

"Getting a chance to work internationally at TCS Amsterdam was a dream, and SGBIT CSE made it possible. The curriculum, while rooted in VTU standards, was enhanced by faculty who always brought real-world examples. The project-based learning through KSCST and the exposure to diverse technologies prepared me for global IT challenges."

Ms. Pooja Mathapati
Batch 2014

"I still remember the meticulous teaching style of our faculty. The department's focus on fundamentals, combined with practical labs and add-on courses, ensured that when I walked into my Dell Technologies interview, I was confident. The alumni community here is warm and supportive — a network I continue to leverage even today."

Mr. Sandeep Chavan
Batch 2018

"The entrepreneurial mindset I developed at SGBIT CSE was the seed for Techify India. The department encouraged us to take up KSCST-funded projects, participate in hackathons, and explore ideas beyond textbooks. The faculty mentorship was invaluable. If you have the drive, SGBIT gives you the wings to fly."

Mr. Shivashankar Shindigeri
Batch 2016

"SGBIT's CSE Department gave me a rock-solid foundation in computer science. The faculty's dedication, especially in core subjects like Operating Systems, Computer Networks and Data Structures, prepared me thoroughly for a career in IT infrastructure and DevOps. The lab facilities are excellent and the overall culture of innovation kept me engaged throughout my four years."
