Sri Sukhmani Group of Institutions (SSGI), based in Derabassi near Chandigarh, has quietly but firmly established itself as a trusted name in higher education. With over 45 years of experience, the group offers a wide range of courses in engineering, management, nursing, law, hospitality, and more. The focus at SSGI is not just on degrees but on preparing students for real-world success through practical training, industry exposure, and holistic learning.
I decided to write about SSGI because it represents what quality education should look like in India—accessible, future-ready, and deeply rooted in student welfare. In today’s time, when many private colleges focus only on numbers, Sri Sukhmani stands out for maintaining academic integrity and nurturing talent with personalised attention. It’s important for students and parents to know that such institutions exist, where the goal is not just employment but empowerment. This post will explore what makes SSGI different and how it’s setting an example for other institutes across the country.
A Legacy of Trust and Quality
Sri Sukhmani Group of Institutions started in 1972 and since then, it has expanded into multiple fields of education. From engineering to nursing, each department is led by experienced faculty and supported by well-equipped labs, smart classrooms, and modern infrastructure. What makes SSGI unique is its balance between tradition and innovation. The management believes that students should be grounded in core knowledge while also being prepared for a changing world.
The institution is approved by AICTE, PCI, and recognised by various government bodies. Their courses are affiliated with leading universities like IKGPTU, Punjabi University Patiala, and BFUHS Faridkot.
Focus on Skill-Based Learning and Placements
SSGI places a lot of emphasis on making students job-ready. Each course includes internships, hands-on projects, and regular industry interactions. The placement cell works actively with recruiters to ensure students are placed in reputed companies.
Some companies that have recruited from SSGI include:
- Infosys
- Wipro
- HDFC Bank
- ICICI Bank
- Fortis Hospital
- Oberoi Group of Hotels
Students in hospitality, for example, are given real-time hotel management training in collaboration with leading chains. Engineering students work on live projects and coding marathons. Nursing students are trained in top hospitals. This real-world approach makes a huge difference in how confident students feel after graduation.
Hostel, Scholarships and Student Support
Another thing that impressed me is how SSGI supports students from all backgrounds. They provide in-campus hostels with security, hygienic food, and recreational facilities. There’s also a strong focus on mental well-being and personal development.
The institution offers scholarships to meritorious students and those from economically weaker sections. For students from Jammu & Kashmir and the North-East, special admission schemes and financial aid are available under central government programmes.
Modern Campus with Traditional Values
The SSGI campus blends technology with culture. Smart classrooms, Wi-Fi zones, digital libraries, and fully-equipped labs sit side by side with a strong emphasis on discipline, ethics, and values. The college also organises various cultural, sports, and tech events throughout the year, which help in the overall development of students.
Regular seminars, personality development workshops, and motivational talks by industry experts and alumni keep the learning environment lively and updated.
