Sir Sayyed College of Arts, Commerce and Science

Sir Sayyed College of Arts , Commerce & Science is one of the minority institutions in Aurangabad city. In the year 2003-04, NAAC accredited the college with' B ' grade. It is one of the leading institutions engaged in imparting quality education in the stream of Arts, Commerce & Science since two decades. The college is located in the predominantly Muslim area. The location holds importance as it makes the college easily accessible to the purdah-observing girl students whom the conservative family set-up usually do not permit to go to distant colleges for higher education. The college is marching ahead under the able guidance of Prof. Mohd Tilawat Ali, founder president of Rehbar Educational , Cultural & Welfare Society, Aurangabad; with the strong belief that mere imparting and acquisition of formal knowledge does not suffice. It strongly holds that unless a student develops a humane , scientific outlook and a strong sense of responsibility towards our society, the aim of higher education remains unachieved. The devoted and committed teacher, Prof. Mohd Tilawat Ali established a college that could meet the demand of changing times. Prof. Mohd Tilawat Ali and his selfless colleagues named this college after legendary SIR SAYYED AHMED KHAN, an optimistic social reformer and visionary who laid paramount emphasis on Muslim's and especially women's education. It is infact the only co-education college in the town that has largest number of girl students. Focus on the women's education is a task of crucial importance this institution has undertaken. Without women's education, upliftment of this particular section of the society cannot be visualized. Education would enable women to value the significance of co-existence, tolerance and mutual trust that is needed in a multicultural society of ours. The college has been making strident efforts in this direction with a firm belief that education and uplift of the largest minority would contribute to the peace and progress of the nation at large.
