All our students are imparted with the desired skill sets that are in sync with the corporate environment and given practical training on various corporate domains that exist in an organization.The faculty at Sunstone realized that there was a huge disconnect between the present education system and the dynamic demands of the employment industry. Students these days have immense subject matter knowledge which is imbibed in them throughout their foundation years which begins right from their schooling and continues until they complete their post-graduation and so on!Broadcasting information on various subject matters does not really comply with the current industry requirements and hence the students really struggle when it comes to acing certain tasks at work. They lack the basic skill set that is considered to be a pre-requisite by most of the corporates and are not considered industry ready professionals.We envision in bringing about a paradigm shift in the present higher education system by equipping the students with various skill sets so that they are easily absorbed by the recruitment companies. Till date, Sunstone Eduversity has a 100% placement record with over 200 different recruitment companies impaneled with us. We take full responsibility of your career as we believe that all education institutes should provide its students with the confidence to be placed right after acquiring the desired skill sets and hence are delighted to procreate this framework!
