News @ipsr

A glimpse of the session Mendus Sir had Taken in Trivandrum Branch... 

"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. Have a passion in your life.Have a passion on the technology you learn”.Well this itself explains the impact of the session.
