"Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high ....."
—Rabindranath Tagore
The essence of these words in Tagore’s poem, are truly reflected and experienced in letter and spirit within the portals of our institution. The journey of a thousand miles starts with the first step, and that step was taken way back in 1960, when this college was established, and since then, we have come a long way. Our institution has grown over the years bringing within its influence diverse educational programmes and courses, shaping an enabling environment for knowledge, skills, and values.

Academic excellence, holistic development of students and inclusive education are some of the hallmarks of this institution. Students prefer our college for seeking quality education, and this validates the credibility and reputation of our institution. In an increasingly materialistic world, we have dared to follow ‘Admission strictly by merit’ and ‘No Capitation fee’ policy. Our college owes its glory to the vision of its founders, committed leadership of its management, and sincere efforts of teaching, non-teaching staff, students, and alumni.
We at SIES, believe that universal high quality education is fundamental for achieving full human potential, besides for developing an equitable society, and promoting national development. It is the best way forward for developing and maximizing our country's rich talents and resources which eventually will determine the future of our country.
Therefore, our journey towards academic excellence, continues with renewed passion aiming for new milestones. In this context, we have submitted our application for National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF), and have also applied to the University Grants Commission (UGC) for Deemed to be University status. While embracing technology worldwide, our University shall be India centric focused on the cultural ethos and traditions of Indian society.
To conclude, ‘SIES shall be amongst the most admired academic institutions in India’, and we want to lead by example, ‘Be the change, you wish to see in the world’–Mahatma Gandhi
