Facilities at Sophia Polytechnic
Sophia Polytechnic offers facilities and technology to ensure that students achieve their goals. Whatever be the students' field of interest, they will always find tools needed to realise their vision.
Library
Situated on the ground floor of the Polytechnic building, the air-conditioned library is indeed an oasis of knowledge where the quest of the curious mind ends. Hand-picked books line the cupboards to supplement lectures of all professional courses offered in our Institute. The Library is replete with special interest magazines, self-help books, industry periodicals and general interest newspapers. The library stands apart with its open access system and with its unique collection of books on Ethics and Spirituality. This collection is integral to the motto of the Institute.
'Education for Transformation'.
The Library also houses master files of examination papers that serve as ready reckoners for the students. Further, to assist students in locating reference books and information, an 'Online Public Access Catalogue' is provided. The Library is also equipped with a scanning machine to allow students to retrieve specific pages from books for future reference. To ensure optimal use of the library, a Library Orientation Programme is especially conducted for all students at the beginning of every academic year.
We are proud to introduce Library Online Public Access Catalogue which is available 24*7.
