B.E Civil - 2015
Team Lead, Digit88 Technologies Pvt Ltd,

I can positively say KCG has made me a better person. It has helped me develop a positive attitude towards my studies and discover more about myself. The credit goes to the faculty for their guidance and support

Supraja Sundaresan

B.E. Civil - 2016 MS in Environmental Engineering, New York University Traffic Noise Engineer, AECOM, North Carolina, USA

I chose KCG among all the institutions during counselling and it was the stepping stone of my career. KCG has played a major role in the process of being able to understand my capabilities. During the course of my 4 year curriculum, I learnt many valuable characteristics to life such as time management, steady workmanship, sincerity, responsibility and as the days went farther, I also learnt the importance of education and learning as such. The challenges from the professors helped me channel my passion for Environmental Engineering. I am forever indebted to my teachers who stood by my side during these difficult times and gave me the support that I needed, and being the fireflies to my darkness. One thing I learnt from this overall experience until now is to never lose your calm during hardships of life and that’s how I turned out to be the better person today.

KCG College of Technology is one of the institutions which help every student build their career with soft skill training and academic training with practical exercises. KCG has immensely contributed in developing my entrepreneurship management skills and my leadership skills. I offer my sincere gratitude to KCG College of Technology and my professors for their unbroken faith and support towards me.

Mervyn Fernando

B.E. Civil - 2015 MS in Structural Engineering, Pennsylvania State University

I was a part of 2015 batch of  Civil Engineering at KCG. We were the first batch and so had no precedence in career-related opinions and decisions. However, the faculty, staff and Head of the Department were greatly supportive all through the way. The department took many initiatives to help hone our professional skills, and one among those was the training and certification provided in current industry software which helped give an edge while applying for jobs. Extra-curricular activities like being the President of the Civil Engineering student association during my final year also helped me develop my interpersonal skills. Internships during the summer played an important role in helping me understand how the courses translate to the workplace. The overall experience and the support of the faculty and department head were instrumental in me getting admitted to the Master’s program in Structural Engineering at the Pennsylvania University.
