Shame on SGSITS!!
It is honestly disgraceful that a college that proudly calls itself a government-funded premier institute struggles to provide even basic financial support for student projects.
Students are constantly told to build projects, participate in competitions, develop practical skills, innovate, and become industry-ready. But when it actually comes to putting money behind those expectations, suddenly the institution has nothing to offer. Not even a meaningful amount for students who are genuinely trying to build something.
Meanwhile, students from private colleges like LNCT, Acropolis, and Jaypee Guna are getting project funding and institutional support, allowing them to buy components, experiment, fail, rebuild, and gain the hands-on experience that companies actually value.
So what exactly are students supposed to do at SGSITS?
Score a good percentile, get admission into a so-called prestigious government-funded college, spend four years being told to "develop skills," and then somehow develop those skills without the institution investing a single rupee in the process?
This isn't just disappointing. It is fundamentally backwards.
And then the college wonders why placement performance keeps deteriorating year after year.
Companies don't hire students because their college has a prestigious name on the gate. They hire students who can build, debug, design, demonstrate, and solve real engineering problems. If private colleges are giving their students the resources to build those skills while SGSITS keeps students struggling to fund basic projects, then the supposed advantage of studying here becomes increasingly difficult to justify.
A government-funded technical institution should be investing in its students, not merely collecting fees and boasting about its reputation.
If students have to personally finance every project, every competition, every prototype, and every opportunity to gain practical experience, then what exactly is the institution funding?
A campus? Buildings? Administration? A name?
Because if the actual students—the people whose achievements supposedly represent the institute—aren't being supported, then the institution needs to seriously reconsider what it means by student welfare and technical education.
A prestigious name without institutional support is just a name.
And if SGSITS genuinely wants to maintain its reputation, it needs to stop living on the reputation built by previous generations of students and start investing in the students who are supposed to build its future.
