The increasing number of students competing for admission each year is a testament to the importance of SSCB in undergraduate education. Some professors even pointed out that the institution has provided a sum of money to top institutions like IIT in some regions. SSCBS President Dr. Poonam Verma smiled and said: “I heard from professors at leading graduate institutions that when they hear a student from this university, they avoid asking them questions, knowing they will answer correctly and end the conversation.”
In recent years, SSCBS’ efforts have begun to achieve impressive results, with its students performing well in the competitive field.

She will join a growth equity firm this month. Neeraj Sehrawat, head of the Department of Financial Research, recalled convincing Chadha to join SSCB. “People think colleges like SRCC would be better, but students later learn what SSCBS has to offer. Our courses offer a comprehensive education that many top graduate colleges cannot match,” said Verma, an alumnus of Jesus and Mary College, who highlighted the overall development of 1,500 students in its nearly 50 active societies, covering cultural, technical and technical fields. “While we ensure academic rigor, we also encourage students to participate in case study competitions, business writing competitions, and research. This approach distinguishes us from other institutions. ”
Founded in 1987, SSCB was originally operated in a school building in Vivek Vihar before moving to its state-of-the-art campus in 2017. Verma was one of the first permanent teachers in 1988 and took over as principal in 2008.

We will now have the opportunity to represent the country,” he said.
