R. Sesha Iyer

With a PhD in Production Management from the University of Mumbai, Prof. R. Sesha Iyer has taught at Fr. Conceicao Rodrigues College of Engineering for over 21 years. With an M.Tech degree in Production Engineering, he started his career as an engineer for HMT Limited in the year 1970. But, the teaching bug bit him in the year 1985 and he eventually became the Principal of Fr. Conceicao Rodrigues College of Engineering. He joined as a Director of S.P. Jain Institute of Management & Research (SPJIMR) in the year 2007 and continued till 2015.

Years of rich experience and firm knowledge of the concepts made him the students' favourite at SPJIMR. He makes his classes interesting by giving “examples from his own life and experiences” and uses “humour” to make it lively.

Dr R. Sesha Iyer is currently an adviser to the Dean and a clear favourite among his students.
