The Clubs and Societies form the basis of instilling leadership qualities, personal development and other and soft skills. Students are taught to view these clubs and societies as small companies. They will be exposed to handling crisis management, event planning, people management, logistics planning and other approaches related to working in an organisation.

Sport Recreation

At SEGi, we do not just focus on the intellectual ability but also on the physical well-being of a student. Our students are challenged to maintain a balance between academic studies and sports activities and thus encouraged to join one of many sports clubs.

Various efforts have been made continuously to reach out by taking into consideration the students’ emotional health.
