The year 1976 saw the birth of a luminous star of learning
on the educational horizon. The star later blazed a trail
across the Indian skies, guiding thousands of students to
scale the heights of success in their careers, professions
and enterprises. Today, the beacon stands tall on massive
pillars, having stamped indelible imprints on the glorious
academic traditions of India. This is the story of PRATHAP
FOUNDATION FOR EDUCATION AND TRAINING, the
brainchild of the great visionary, Dr. G.P.C. Nayar, who
redefined educational standards by shaping it as a window
to the emerging market-driven global economy.
The Foundation started its first academic institution, School
of Communication and Management Studies (SCMS), in
1976. Since then, SCMS made great strides in the field
of education and earned an unparalleled reputation as a
premier B school. It was rechristened SCMS COCHIN
SCHOOL OF BUSINESS in the year 2013. Over the years,
the Foundation established premier institutions in different
locations, under the umbrella name SCMS Group of
Educational Institutions, offering courses in Engineering,
Technology, Architecture, Management, Commerce,
Economics, Biotechnology, Water Research, etc.
SCMS Group of Educational Institutions started a state-of-the-art polytechnic college to offer
diplomas in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical
Engineering, Civil Engineering, Automobile Engineering
and Computer Engineering with the idea of filling up the
large shortage of technicians and technical hands in the field in the manufacturing sector, particularly the engineering and automobile sectors. This decision was taken on the basis of a study conducted by an external agency which found that there was a great demand for engineering diploma holders in this country. We are confident that our effort will meet such growing demands in the field. SCMS Group has a national reputation for excellence in engineering and management education and we maintain the same level of standard and excellence for
SCMS College of Polytechnics.
