"The instantaneous aim of the education is to prepare the students for their actual life. Education in its real sense is development within and action outside. The core of it is not transmitting information but transforming human personality. This, as exemplified by Sri Aurobindo involves physical, vital, mental, psychological and spiritual aspects. Echoing similar sentiments Swami Vivekananda considered education essential for the entire universe".

Alumni Impact
From the ❤ Here's what Alumni had to say about us
‘College’ ,the word itself is an emotion as it’s not easy to get everything what you expect but the more you explore the more you learn from it . in my 3 years of journey I have learnt a lot of things, not only related to subjects but , about the leadership quality, about handling critical situations , about teamwork.
Looking back, I see that I got a firm grounding in science and mathematics at St. Philomena's which helped set the foundation for my engineering career. The well-equipped laboratories provided hands-on practical experience of the theoretical subjects I was studying.The library provided me opportunities to explore English literature
Before enrolling at St. Philomena College, I also had the unique opportunity to connect with BCA professors to decide on my career. I had discussed on subjects they teach, how it differ from other Engineering programs, and what are the potential career paths .
Overall experience in St Philomena College is amazing because we are provided many opportunities to grow and explore our skills on sports/ other cultural activities along with education. I always found healthy and friendly environment where teachers are highly supportive.
"Education is the best provision for a life journey". College life taught me many things to build our career, to make decisions and to be a responsible one. For me my college life will be the most memorable one which exposes us to a whole new experience.
