Three years at this college – how to sum up? I still cannot believe how fast time went by. Three years – that made me connect to this college in a way I never thought it would be possible. I would like to thank MITSOM college for providing me endless growth opportunities and pushing me towards success. Without our principal Dr. R.M. Chitnis’s guidance we wouldn’t have been the sensible students which we are today. I would like to thank our professors for making learning our passion. Ten years from now, it will not be the grade you gave us that will matter, but the lessons you taught us through your experience, knowledge and discussions and if it were not for the teachers in our lives Samiya Ayaz I would not be representing all of us today.
