Thousands of students who have passed out from school bear testimony to the dedication of the teaching community of the school in various fields of Arts, Sciences, Engineering, Medicine, Architecture, Sports, and other such vocations. Hundreds of alumni have passed through prestigious world-ranking institutions like the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and alike over these decades and have carved a niche for themselves in life.
