Keystone School of Engineering

From the Desk of HOD

At the threshold of their engineering journey, students stand not just on the brink of a professional career, but at the beginning of a transformation—intellectually, personally, and socially. As the Head of the First Year Engineering Department, it is both my responsibility and privilege to nurture this foundation with vision, purpose, and care.

Our department is committed to creating a learner-centric environment where curiosity is encouraged, innovation is celebrated, and discipline is respected. We believe that the first year is not merely about academics, but about instilling confidence, resilience, and a mindset that embraces lifelong learning.

With a dedicated team of faculty members, modern teaching methodologies, and strong mentoring practices, we strive to make every student feel guided, inspired, and empowered.

To our students: Dream boldly. Work relentlessly. Grow fearlessly. You are not just preparing for exams—you are preparing for life. And we are here, every step of the way, to walk with you, guide you, and cheer you on.

Let’s build not just engineers, but leaders of tomorrow—rooted in values and driven by vision.

Warm regards,
