Mr. Ashish Mohanan Pillai
MAATASA L.L.C ,Dubai
Karunya university transformed me from an average student to a successful personality. I learnt to lead a better lifestyle with discipline and confidence. I am thankful to the Department of Civil Engineering for making me an engineer to compete in this world filled with challenges.I am proud that I am a karunyan. I am right now working as a Construction manager in a very reputed company in Dubai - emirate with skyscrapers filled skyline With an annual income of 18 Lakhs.
Mr. Alan Mathews Sajan
Barun Corp, USA
When I first started at Karunya I was unsure about my future. But the department of Civil Engineering gave me support and confidence. During my final year the department arranged internships in Capital Engineering Consultancy and Sigma Structures for my final year project. Because of this I got a job in a core company called Barun Corp based in the U.S.A With an annual income of 5.5 Lakhs. So I just wanted to take this time to thank you for all the opportunities provided and leading the civil engineering department.
