“HOD SPEAK”

From HOD’s Desk –July 2019

Greetings to Students and faculty!!!

Though this quarter was Examination period, but in spite of this we had certain significant activities. NBA Committee had visited institute for second cycle of Accreditation in month of May 2019. Our students after completing their examinations have enrolled through department at various training and in-ternship programs. Also they enrolled at BSNL, Doordarshan and Eduvance for various value addition programs. This sum-mer, department could provide training/workshop/internship to almost 90 students from TE/BE. Faculty members of our de-partment visited Reliance Jio for one day visit. I am happy to inform that our faculty members acted as “Lead trainers” in research methodology and Education Technology.

I wish all my students and faculty members a great semester!

Know an Alumnus

Name of Alumnus:Omkar Desai

Batch: 2015

Qualification : BE in Electronics

and Telecommunication

Message: An Average person do-

ing extraordinary things is just

what I had read in books before.

But myself experiencing and en-

deavoring the same would never

be possible without VIT. Right from

the first semester, approaching to

the professors for doing Projects

instead of Assignments for our

internal marks and professors

allowing happily to providing the

financial support to participate in

National Level project competi-

tions, Management and the College

Staff was always a Rock solid sup-

port.

VIT has helped to get the best out

of me. We have the best faculty,

due to which I was university top-

per for one of the difficult subjects

for others. Getting recognized for

each and every achievement was

always a top-up booster. We have

the most supportive management

team, due to which I was able to

register the patent of our final year

project in front of my group’s

name. College had always made

every possible arrangement for us.

Couple of months back, I received

2 most valuable awards in TCS.

One was best Performance Im-

provement officer award for my

exceptional work in Performance

Improvements area. The roots of

this achievement again start from

VIT. From a guy who was strug-

gling to say a sentence in English

in front of his class to a guy deliv-

ering sessions in front of hundreds

of employees across various loca-

tions, the journey was tough but

not impossible. Second award I’d

received was Star Achiever award.

All the hard work done in past 4

years in TCS was paid off by these

awards. Lastly, I would thank god

for giving me a chance to study in

such a great institute. I can’t thank

our Institute, but can promise of

always being an active alumnus.
