“Decisions determine destiny”

"A man maie well bring a horse to the water,
But he cannot make him drinke without he will"
John Heywood
CHAIRMAN SPEAKS
The English writer John Heywood's proverb is refuted by the legends of SVES in
aiding their students. SVES's offspring, BVRITH is a place of varied cultures,
mindsets, and backgrounds. Inspite of that, BVRITH under the aegis of SVES,
succeeded in placing its students in reputed companies like Capgemini, Virtusa,
Tech Mahindra, Kony labs, CSC, Pramati Technologies, NTT Data, UX Reactor,
PEGA Systems, Umberto Ceramics International Pvt. Ltd. (list is going to be
extended as many more companies are on their way to BVRITH)
On this remarkable feat, Dr KVN Sunitha, Founder Principal said, In the journey of
excellence as I glance back at the year 2012, I realize that it's been a fascinating
collaboration which helped us move continuously on the path of progress. The
culture that we built for the institution, and the hard work as well as perseverance
of the team is evident today as we enjoy the fruits. It's truly a pleasure to reach
the target of 120 placement offers out of 229 students, whereas eligible number is
186. Thanks to the Placement team who worked round the clock to make students
get good placements and packages to the tune of 7.5 lakh, 7.13 lakh, 6.3 lakh etc.
According to Mr.Jagapathi Reddy, Placement Manager at BVRIT-H, SVES brand,
Guidance of Core Placement Team , determined efforts of BVRITH Placement
Team, HODs & Faculty under the leadership of Principal and the hard work of
Students yielded the results. Student Internship and mentorship programs in
companies like Microsoft, Virtusa, ADP, and PEGA Systems also helped in
exposing the students to real time work environment and being placed in top
companies.
The future of the country depends on these young engineers and we have
strengthened the wings of our Women Technocrats to soar high into the Sky of
Technical Excellence, Research and Innovation!
Addressing the group of faculty members who joined BVRIT N during the academic year 2015-16, Hon'ble Chairman
Sri K.V.Vishnu Raju garu, SVES, recalled the ideals that Sri Vishnu Educational Society and his grandfather
Padmabhushan Dr B.V.Raju stood for. According to him, “Founder Chairman of SVES believed that education has
transformed him both educationally and socially. He believed from his experience that education can transform the
society and more so in transforming and empowering women”. Having studied in reputed Institutions like Banaras
Hindu University & Harvard, Padmabhushan Dr B.V.Raju visualized that the temples of learning he started should
be on par with IITs and NITs. To convert this dream into reality all Institutions of SVES covered the entire spectrum
of Engineering and Technology with residential facilities paving way for active interaction between the teachers
and the taught both inside & outside the class room. Recalling his intermediate days, Chairman narrated how his
mathematics teacher at Little Flower Junior College, Prof.M.N.Reddy has mentored his classmates by teaching the
concepts outside the gamut of syllabus. This methodology has converted the rigor of cracking a seat in NIT into a
cake walk. Because of Prof.Reddy, 45 out of 53 students have become Engineers from IITs and NITs. Stressing the
importance of teaching, a profession considered noble on par with Medicine, he recounted how patients with
chronic diseases felt solace after undergoing treatment from his Doctor father. He exhorted the faculty members to
teach with passion and gain confidence from student community. In the changed scenario, from teacher centric
teaching to student centric teaching, staff members were requested to treat students as customers and strive for
customer satisfaction. He narrated from his experience as student at NIT, how Prof. Krishnamurthy has converted a
dull and dozing class in the afternoon session into active state by motivating students to visit library and refer
Scientific American magazine. As most of the faculty members teach 3 hours a day, he advised them to spend
productive time in library and hone the skills and sharpen the tools. He was also of the opinion that a lot of teaching
and productive work can happen in laboratories by coordinating with Industry and Research centers.
He explained how French Physicists developed testing tools to motivate students towards critical thinking i.e PISA
sponsored by OECD (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development). In the PISA test conducted, Finland
stood first in the world and India stood 79th. He attributed the success of Finland to the policy makers focused
attention and vision towards teaching. The spinoffs are visible in the form of Nokia and several other companies.
Highlighting the achievements of BVRITN, he thanked the team comprising of VC, Deans, Principal and Staff. He
appreciated the institute for getting above 500 genuine placements. He highlighted the BVRIT team's preparedness
in tackling inspections (four in number) from JNTUH fact finding committees. About the future plans of SVES, he
advised the team comprising of 1500 faculty members to create a roadmap towards excellence in teaching and
mentoring the students towards global standards. He advised the team to train the teacher in
teaching methodologies, content development, academic planning, Industry -Institution
linkage with continuous mentoring by experts in the field. In his concluding remarks, he
lauded the team in getting 4th rank among top Engineering colleges of JNTUH and 7th in
Telangana when Osmania University is included.
May BVRITH continue its efforts towards higher and nobler ideals and play its role
in the progress of our nation!
