Redefining Excellence in Education System 

Dr Mariazeena Johnson, Chancellor of Sathyabama Institute of Science and Technology, believes that redefining the education system is a continuous process by identifying potential ‘thrust areas’ and creating necessary ‘academic ambience’ in terms of infrastructure and intellectual pool. Innovation in academics and research balance have resulted in a consistent success story of the institution in terms of student placement, successful start-up ventures, and transforming the dreams of students into reality, even before their graduation.

Sathyabama Centre for Advanced Studies is one such pioneering initiatives, designed to fuel progressive academic and research ambience. It entails advanced technological installations such as Metaverse Studio, Drone Laboratories, Advanced Characterization facilities, and Media Centre to create a plethora of opportunities for students to excel in future. At Sathyabama Institute of Science and Technology, the expansion in research infrastructure is at par with global standards and the outcome of the methodologies and initiatives are visible in the institution’s global alumni presence, its scientists making it to the ‘TOP 2%’ Stanford list, global rankings, and international recognitions such as ABET, USA.

“Innovation has become our new motto of success, we have provided annual Seed Money Grants and encouraged our students and faculty teams with innovative ideas to create new products in the past five years.” Dr Johnson explains.
