A long march to a glorious future was flagged off in 1976 with the establishment of the Prathap Foundation for Education and Training by Dr. G.P.C. Nayar at Kochi. Dr. Nayar, who held top management positions with leading global corporate houses, wished to impart quality education at affordable costs to aspiring youngsters in India. The dream came true in 1976 with the establishment of a humble management institution - the School of Communication and Management Studies or the SCMS-COCHIN as it is known today

A sharp focus on quality education soon gave an edge to the institution. Located alongside the NH 47 beyond Kalamassery, in the heart of the industrial and business capital of Kerala, SCMS grew to become a center of excellence for management and communication studies in a very short span of time. Today it has acquired an international reputation.

Over the years, SCMS Group has established a network of institutions providing quality education in diverse disciplines like Management, Mass Communication, Information Technology, International Studies, Computer Applications, Engineering, Architecture, Polytechnics, Biotechnology & Biosciences, and Water Research Institute with five campuses in Ernakulam (Cochin).

SCMS School of Technology and Management (SSTM) is run as an institution of excellence in management and technology education, abiding by the rules and regulations of Mahatma Gandhi University. Students are given wide exposure to the latest teaching methodology and industrial experience as provided in top-class institutions. All these will be delivered with the time-tested techniques perfected at SCMS.
