About SAC:

Students can get involved in college affairs through the Student Activity Council, a representative body run by students under adult supervision. Students collaborate with faculty, staff, and parents to advance the interests of both the college and its students. Through planning and executing institutional events and volunteer work, the Student Activity Council aims to provide students with opportunities to grow as leaders. Students can communicate with the community of the institute about their thoughts, passions, and worries. The Council, comprising eight dynamic clubs—literary, arts, rainbow, sports, discipline, tech, drama and theatre, and cultural—continues to play a pivotal role in fostering a rich tapestry of experiences for our students. Under the esteemed leadership of the Dean of Student Welfare, Dr. Ankit Pandit, each club has diligently pursued its objectives and purpose and furthered the ideals of our institution.
