Chairman, RIET

Wishing you all success,

Message FROM the Chairman's Desk

Congratulations to the task force that brought to light the current issue of RIET NEWS. It chronicles the activities

and achievements of Rajadhani Institute of Engineering & Technology, which in future will form part of the

history of RIET. Hence we shall place each foot and speak every word with so much diligence that posterity may

not find fault with us.

We have the best facilities, infrastructure, faculty and all amenities that make RIET a leader among the

professional Educational Institutions in the State. Take care to exploit the full potential of our resources and

congenial surroundings to strengthen yourselves. That unique strength, skill and knowledge that you acquire

from our classrooms and campus will render you invulnerable and indefatigable.

Let us convert this unique power into activities that may reflect on the pages of RIET NEWS at present and echoe

over the globe in future.

May you be the doyens and great Technocrats of the future and that in turn may glorify these pages as well.

Prof. (Dr.) R SathikumarPrincipal, RIET

ndWelcome to the 2 August, 2015, edition of RIET NEWS. At the outset, let me deeply and whole-heartedly thank our

Chairman, Director, Principal and all my colleagues who have extended their kind and timely support for the release

of this newsletter.

This issue is a fountain of information on the various activities and triumphs of our college during the last six

months. Be sure to read it all to gain an even better insight of our prestigious college. Enjoy reading. As always, we

welcome your comments.

The principal's Message

It gives me immense pleasure to write the Principal's message for the second issue of this year's RIET

Newsletter.

RIET has grown tremendously and now stands as one of the most sought after Educational Institutes by our

Engineering aspirants, and the vibrant as well as technically brilliant campus proves why our students are

always at a high level. In this academic year we got approval to commence three M.Tech courses under KTU.

The cherished motto of RIET is to produce world class Engineers for converting global challenges into

opportunities through value embedded quality technical education. We have been constantly debating on one

point-Quality Education, since today it's not mere academic education alone to be looked at, but the students'

overall growth and development. We provide our time tested educational methodology along with our unique in-

house training programs incorporated along-side the curriculum which has beneffited our students, as we had

the best placement season in 2015 with around 250 offer letters from many reputed multi -national companies. Four Years of Engineering Education at

RIET will not only earn students a quality degree but will also transform their personality , empowering them to lead a successful life.

I'm sure that Newsletter would be a window of the life of the students at RIET.

I sign off with a phrase “Alone we can do so little, Together we can do so much”
