Testimonies by our Alumni
I am working as an Analyst in Deloitte and profoundly would like to share that “Root” is an important word and I must say “Karunya Institute of Technology and Sciences” is one place where it all started for me. Post-Graduation was just a certificate but the journey that made me capable of going that one extra mile can’t be summarized in a few words. Apart from lecture rooms, labs or any practical experience we could ask for, our mentors enabled us with industry level capabilities and that made the difference. I extend my heartfelt thanks to my mentors for their selfless efforts. Karunya University has provided me with the roots to follow my dreams and passion and I am exploring my potential in every sphere of life. I owe gratitude to all my mentors and Karunya for enabling each one of us to believe in ourselves and preparing us to embrace the ever evolving challenges.

For as long as I can remember, I always had the urge to do something radically different with my life. Back in 2018, as an outsider, I traveled to Coimbatore to be a Karunyan, forever. In just 6 months, I remember acting as the class rep and working for various Student Chapters, being Creative at department events, organizing workshops and wholeheartedly enjoying the learning process. As time passed by, I realized that Karunya Institute of Technology and Science gave me, the wings to fly and achieve my dreams. Karunya University provided the platform to study, excel, compete and explore my potential. Motivational teaching, making projects, learning at The internship helped a lot in understanding both the technical aspects and clearing the job interviews. The Training and Placement department helped me in acing through the campus placements. I went on with my journey when I got placed in ValueMentor as a junior consultant and before graduating. Today, I am fortunate enough to be working in Deloitte DTTIL, Kochi. Balancing the world of lifestyle, fashion, travel, beauty & fitness along with a full-time job gave me a strong sense of elevating my passion to the next level. I am thankful to Karunya Institute of Technology and Sciences, the management, My mentors, friends, and all my well-wishers, for all the support and proud to be a part of the Karunya Alumni Network.

Karunya has been a niche for me. The immaculate weather, the greenery and the environment as a whole has been the best and conducive. The institution provided me with endless opportunities to learn and groom myself as what I am today. The staff are experienced, efficient and friendly. Karunya is not an academic heavy institution, it is rather a place for overall development like discipline, leadership, presentation skills, sports and other academic and non-academic skills. I cherish the memories of Karunya, as I have always felt it as a home away from home. #

I could do everything that I had planned for. It taught me what life is all about. My faculty members, hostel life and my friends played a significant role in shaping my career. I have learnt many life lessons living and spending quality time with people from different states speaking different languages and with different culture. Altogether, Karunya provided me a wonderful experience.

I am agna from 2018 B.Sc. Information Security and Digital Forensics batch. Karunya gave me endless platforms to rise and shine. I had such a surreal experience when I started studying there and the course ' Information security and digital forensics' which is very applicable to the modern scenario which provides unlimited opportunities. Currently I am working as Scholar Trainee in Wipro Technologies.

Karunya Institute of Technology and Sciences has enriched its students with realistic experiences in the fields of Technology, Sciences and Arts. Pursuing M.A in English from Karunya University (2018-2020 batch), has been a dream come true for me. Being at Karunya for two years, I personally felt it as a home away from home. As our anthem states “One in a million we are His choice”, this University indeed assists the ‘Chosen’ Karunyans to flourish and to bring out the best in them. Karunya has provided me with multi-ethnic experiences as it is embellished of students of both multi-culturalistic and multi-linguistic backgrounds. Our English department consists of professors who encourage student-centered method of teaching. They’ve also renewed students’ confidence to learn not only literature and language, but also aided them to be placed in renowned companies and schools. Through their best support I was able to acquire interpersonal, communication, problem-solving and many more personal development skills.

Studying in Karunya was one of my dreams right from my childhood. And my dream came true the moment I stepped into that beautiful campus in the year 2019. In Karunya, I have had the opportunity of experiencing the happiest days of my life. Yet I would like to say that, it’s a place where knowledge is pursued for its own sake and where students work patiently in search of wisdom and learning. It not only imparts the students a sense of mission in life, but also furnishes them with a set of values which should serve as guideposts in the journey of life. The different opportunities that came my way in Karunya like leading morning assemblies, SBM, etc., is a blessing in disguise. Thanking God Almighty for all the opportunities.
MS. CHRISTY SHALI SOLAMAN(2019-2021 M.A English)
As one enters Karunya University, it becomes “another world” for them. We shift from having a “student” label to a “Karunyan” as we walk through the gates of the University. Choosing to study at this University had been one of the best choices I made in my life. When I joined in 2019, the thought of leaving the University after completing my studies was my only despair. Anyone who enters the University would feel so blessed with the overall infrastructure, the facilities and the environment. Nowhere in the world would you find a University so beautifully carved into the mountains. In our anthem, there’s a saying that we are one in a million of His choice. It’s also right to say that Karunya is one in a million. The faculty encouraged me to score 1st rank in the English department and also helped me to become a better version of myself.
