"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".

From the ❤ Here's what Alumni had to say about us
"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.
St Philomena College is an institution which has given a new direction for my academic career. The College provides education to all sections of society without seeing the cast and religion, which I do feel hallmark of the College. We have received excellent education and guidance from Professors which actually formed us to reach the present level.
My teachers stood behind me strongly and guided me in all means of life, be it academics or values. They were my Guide, Mentor Coach and reason for what I am now. My leadership skill illuminated at College Days as a Student Union Leader, which helped me to be a strong Public Speaker.
My experience at St Philomena has been wonderful and memorable. The faculties have been very knowledgeable, supportive and encouraging. Apart from academics, there are several cultural and inter-college events that helped to grow our intrapersonal and interpersonal skills thus ensuring holistic development.
I am always thankful to the faculty members of the St. Philomena's for their continuous efforts and support during my course. The curriculum, the teaching methodology adopted by our faculty and the extracurricular activities were the turning point of my life which made me the person who I am today. The teachers were like a backbone for a person like me who didn't had any background of computer science when I joined the course. And notably all my batch mates are doing well in their respective jobs which reflect the quality of the students the institute has produced.
