• Vibrant IPSR teeming with passion:

IPSR has been seeing a lot of new faces during the last few months. On getting to know them on a closer level, we can see that they are passionate and ambitious, ready to face every challenge coming their way. They are a perfect addition to the truly “Vibrant” IPSR Team.

 

Quoting the achievements of a few of them:

I was able to find money for my studies by taking tuition classes for school children. I was also able to take care of my paralyzed father who passed away during my fourth semester diploma classes. His death had affected my studies but I didn’t give up. I worked hard and went on to become the class topper in the fifth semester. - Sreela.K (Software Trainee, IPSR Calicut)

Since my mother is suffering from back pain, I was responsible for doing all the household chores during my studies. I had to find time to study after completing all the work at home. But in spite of all that I was able to score good marks in my Diploma and I am now successfully placed in IPSR. I see this as my biggest achievement. - Shilpa.S (Network Trainee, IPSR Calicut)

I had completed my schooling in a Malayalam medium school. There I didn’t get a platform to develop my English. I practiced speaking in English by myself in front of the mirror and now I can handle English confidently. I am also a badminton player and participated in inter district level school competitions. I was also in my college team…I got a job after my very first interview and was placed in IPSR. -Akhil Alby (Business Development Executive, IPSR Kottayam)

I studied in the Kerala Board till my 10^th standard. After that, I joined an English Medium School for Plus 2. Eventhough I found it tough in the beginning, I studied well and became the school topper. - Shalu Shaji (Software Trainee, IPSR South Cochin)

I used to buy books using the money I earned by working during my free time in my college days..I have won prices in the painting competitions in the Arts Festival conducted in my college. – Lijo Paul (IPSR Career Centre-Kottayam)

News @ IPSR:

• IIFF, 2012 concludes:

The IPSR International Film Festival came to a close on 2^nd June, 2012 with the screening of “Blood Diamond”. The closing ceremony was presided by Dr.Mendus Jacob, MD & CEO and Dr.Sunil Job declared the Film Festival closed. He said that events such as these are one of a kind especially in the IT industry. Not many IPSRians had been at the screening during the last one week but it has surely been a good start for the activities of the IPSR Recreation Club. Mr.Subin.V of the PR division was given a special gift for being the only IPSRian to have watched all the movies filmed at the IIFF, 2012.
