Message from Director

Today we are living in an era of globalization. Boundaries between countries are fading fast. Earlier what seemed to be impossible or extremely difficult is not only possible these days but also quite easy. To get quality education, for example, earlier one had to have abundant resources and travel to advanced countries but it is not so now. Swift Institute of Engineering & Technology has joined hands with Coventry University, one of the renowned universities of U.K., for imparting high quality technical education at Rajpura Campus leading to Coventry University’s B Eng. (Hons.) degree of in various disciplines of engineering and technology. The total cost of study is much less than studying for the same Degree abroad. The students have the option to spend all the four years of Degree program at Rajpura Campus or spend 3 years at Rajpura Campus of SIET and I year at Coventry University Campus in U.K.. The teaching - learning environment at SIET is of world standard as the teaching faculty is drawn from the best of the Institutes like IITs and NITs. The curriculum lays great emphasis on practical and project work besides class room teaching. A sprawling green lush campus of SIET houses state-of-the art class rooms, laboratories and workshops. Guest lectures from eminent persons from Industry and frequent industrial visits of students are some of the unique features of the B Eng. courses. There are ample opportunities for the students to take up R&D projects under "Earn while you learn" and other schemes available to them. In order to cater to the need for their wholesome development, they are encouraged to participate in personality development modules, sports, and extra-curricular activities for which facilities exist on the campus.

My greetings and best wishes to the students for their successful career.
