B2B - Back to where it all Began!

Year 2005 - As I walked past the college gates, I looked back. There were only a few who haven't boarded the 'placements' flight. I was categorized as 'jobless' after BTech. I wasn't sad; I had my best 'friend' along. Nobody wants to be alone! We knew there is always 'life' ahead of today.
Days passed; together we discussed a lot of possibilities for the unanswered 'future' - Pondered through a lot of ideas to reach nowhere. Couple of months later, something did catch our 'attention'. The red color by itself asked us to Stop and Research. Tagged the next big thing by many, we investigated 'Red Hat'.
"Let’s get one, so people notice us"; we said. Lights on! We did our 'RHCE' training from Trivandrum and were directed to 'IPSR Kottayam', to take exams. That was an 'eye opener'! We sadly realized the fact that - until we met 'IPSR', we only knew 'Where' to get a Red Hat from; and not how to 'Wear' it. There weren’t many reasons to believe so - The crash training led by Mr. Lijo was an absolute 'stunner'! The help, assistance and facilities provided by the authorities were 'stupendous'! We were impressed. The results of the very first exam batch of EL4 were out. 5 of 6 were certified 'Engineers', and the odd a certified 'Technician'. “Oh yeah! We have an RHCE to our names”. Filled with joy, we thanked all especially 'Mr. and Mrs. Mendus, Mr. Lijo, many others’, and left.
The story never ended. 'Years' passed by. I had been in odd communication with the 'IPSR family'. Meanwhile, between my friend and I, we drove through 'Techno Park(2005)' to 'Cochin'/'Emirates(2006)' to 'London'/'Ireland Republic(2009)', and now back to where it all began(2013) - Of course with a little bit of revamping here and there though!
Year 2013 - Looking back, I knew 'IPSR' for the past 8 years. But today, as an 'IPSR employee', I wish to make our relationship stronger and healthier. That been said, I look forward to enjoy a fascinating 'future' with 'IPSR'. Cheers!

"What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.” 


It was a very happy moment for IPSRians to share the joy of consistently winning an award from REDHAT for 10 years.To share this happiness with our students Mendus Sir arranged a session with the students at IPSR TVM.The session started off at 10 in the morning and ended by 1.30

The session was mainly focused on the highlighting features of what IPSR provides to our students.The add on features like online aptitude training,intership programmes,arranging interviews for students were discussed.Students were highly inspired by the record track of IPSR in REDHAT.

It was an encouargment for many when a token of appreciation was given to the students who secured the highest marks in aptitude tests.This raised a keen interest in all other students  to attend the aptitude tests on a regular basis.

The session did make a difference on many of the students and as a reult of that a student Mohammed Nithin who had joined for Software course changed to RHCE after being inspired by the session.

After the session, though so many days have passed,we are still happy to hear frequently from the students who attended the sesion... the keywords stated by Mendus Sir,”If you have a passion and if you are hardworking you will reach your goal.
