| Aptech launches Atrium College
 Aptech Limited, as a part of its strategy to move up the education rung and foray into high end education in IT and non-IT areas, has launched its first high-tech College in Chennai, The Atrium College.
The college is modeled on strong foundations of technology driven mentoring, exhaustive industry interface and global internships. Set up at a campus in the heart of Chennai, the Atrium College will offer graduate and post-graduate degrees in IT and management to students, providing career options backed with domestic and international qualifications to students in the full time mode.
The Atrium College will also offer degrees in collaboration with other Indian and foreign universities.
This was announced at a function held in Chennai, which was graced by the chief guest, Vivek Harinarain, IT Secretary, Government of Tamil Nadu. Kalpathi S. Suresh, Chairman, Aptech Limited, Pramod Khera, CEO and Managing Director, Aptech Limited and Sudhir Mathur, Senior Vice-President, Aptech Limited, were among others who participated.
Speaking at the launch ceremony, Vivek Harinarain said, “My congratulations to Aptech on the launch of its futuristic Atrium College. With its state-of-the-art infrastructure and world class facilities, coupled with Aptech’s prior experience in the field of training, I am sure Atrium College students will make a mark for themselves.”
On the move to launch The Atrium College, Kalpathi S. Suresh said, “Aptech today commands the top three IT training brands in the country namely Aptech Computer Education, Arena Multimedia and SSI Education, catering to different segments of the industry. Aptech will now firmly entrench itself as a Global Learning Corporation. The launch of Aptech University earlier is part of this strategy. The Atrium College, being launched today in Chennai is the first academy of higher learning under the aegis of the Aptech University, and will operate as an offshore study centre for the University.”
Pramod Khera said, “It gives me great pleasure to announce the launch of The Atrium College at Chennai. Catering to under-graduate and post-graduate IT and management students, the driving factors of The Atrium College would be to sculpt the 'right fit' student to the industry at large. Exhaustive technology driven mentoring will be an important facilitator for effective delivery and assimilation of the curriculum taught at the Academy. Above all, students will have the opportunity of opting for global internships, which will further hone their skills. While students can opt for domestic or international industry internships, regular industry interaction will play a pivotal part during the students’ stay at the college, which will be facilitated through regular industry experience sharing and industrial/field visits.”
