JECRC does it again !

Nurturing talent.As the logo speaks for itself, students and management at JECRC FOUNDATION have once again proved the presence of emerging talent, vigorous institute-industry collaborations, international exchange programs, interdisciplinary research collaborations and industrial training opportunities. One wonders life must be so competitive for final year students when they are about to switch from learning to earning. Thanks to the rigorous efforts put in by training and placement department of JECRC FOUNDATION which worked hard to bring stars to the institute. In programs for oral and written communication, students learn how to speak and write clearly and persuasively no matter who is in the audience. Its a necessary skill for engineers who seek to lead. JECRC FOUNDATION highly values its partnership with recruiters, alumni and friends of JECRC and remains committed to make recruiting experience productive and positive. Hopes were high and everyone was expecting from us to break our own record of figure 239.On September 20-22 ,2011 Indias well known and major consulting and IT services , TCS made a successful recruiting partnership with JECRC FOUNDATION, with the magical figure 267(243 +24 ) job offers due to the skills, passions, interests and values which match with TCS needs & standards. These are qualities that are critically needed in a consulting organization, it is because of these traits, we find many JECRC graduates occupying pivotal positions in TCS hierarchy. Apart from TCS, another pioneer TATA group company from Tata Technologies (core company) visited JECRC and recruited 14 of engineers, through a process which comprised of written tests and personal interviews . Tata technologies is a world leader in Automotive, Aerospace and Heavy Machinery Engineering and Design, offering products and services to OEM engineering sectors. Campus placement is an ongoing process and JECRC is all set to surprise you with its continuous efforts. Team JMAG heartily congratulates students for bringing glory to JECRC foundation.

Ethical Hacking guru: Ankit Fadia

Environment surcharged with enthusiasm and echoing with the sound of applause with every one paying apt attention..this was the view in the auditorium and why not.!!! It was expected as it was not some normal computer lecture but the one on Cyber Security and Ethical Hacking taken by none other than Mr. Ankit Fadia who is recognized all over the world as maestro in this field. Mr. Ankit Fadia has authored 14 internationally bestselling books on numerous topics related to Computer security that have been widely appreciated by both professionals and industry leaders round the globe. His books have sold a record 10 million copies across the world. JECRC got the golden chance to have him encouraging the youth towards the field of ethical hacking.

Q1. I secured 90% in GATE, I am in a dilemma about the institution to choose which will be good in the Research field.

Mr. Ankit Fadia @ JECRC

Hackaholic , JECRC organized this workshop, not only JECRCians but many corporate people of the town, proffesors from other universities and students of various colleges marked their presence and learned the concept of cyber security and ethical hacking by the guru himself.

Ans. Choosing an institution is not the point if you are really interested in research. Point is - the field you are interested in, you should find out which professors are working on the similar technology/subject and contact them for the same. Mostly this kind of working is done when you want to do PHD but as your interest you can do it now. if you are interested in teaching then M.Tech is a very good option other-wise its a waste of time. - Abhinav Krishna Mittal

XANANOIDS
An extreme BiographyOne of the most influential student of JECRC, who , with his colleagues , had introduced a base for the students having interest in robotics . Having immense interest in digital electronics , embedded systems, robotics etc., had started a robotics club, named XANANOIDS at JECRC. Also, he was a keen member to participate in Renaissance and other activities at the college. He is an alumnus of 2006 batch, Mr. Mohit Jain. He is presently working as a Senior Engineer at Honeywell Technology Solutions, Inc. Here is what he has to say about initiating the well known club at JECRC, the robotics club- XANANOIDS. JECRCians possess a certain quality, of self belief, of confidence, and an undying desire to do it all and achieve it all. This exact thought has been behind the birth of Xananoids. It all began in the summer of 2004 when I stumbled upon an advertisement on TV calling for teams to participate in this national Level Robotics contest Robocon. I liked the idea of creating a Robot and representing JECRC on national level amongst various institutes like NIT'S and IIT's. And so I pitched the ideas to a couple of batch mates and we had a team. We pooled in some money for the machine and for registration fees and started to build the robot. Trouble was none of us had ever done anything like that before, and the task ahead of us to make a completely autonomous machine was huge for three, naive 2nd year students. None of us knew how to program a microcontroller or how to control a motor. But after 3 months of dedicated efforts, and 2 disastrously failed models, we were able to make a machine that could be controlled by a computer. We decided that we could mount the entire motherboard on the robot and control it. Also By this time we had run out of all the money we had pooled, and more which our then HOD Mr. Manish Agarwal had arranged for us. We still needed two computers for our robots and more money to travel to Ahmadabad, the contest venue. We took the first prototype to college and pitched the entire idea to Arpit Sir. Arpit sir being the visionary that he is , immediately saw the potential .Not only were we provided with the two computers to be used The ROBOCON 2005 team as we wished ,but were also provided with funding and a mentor teacher to go with us. We went to Ahmadabad, participated and were able to go through the first qualifier. But most importantly we learned from others. And we knew that the next year when we come, we won't go out easily. The first experience set the tone for remaining years, we always learnt and built upon, next year we went and camped in Mumbai for 1 month to buy mechanical parts and electronics and controllers, and everything else that was needed. In Robocon 2005 we gave good competition to many teams. Also in 2005 we had added many brilliant minds and we had grown into a 10 member team. And this was the year we came up with the name Xananoids. "Xana"- means "extreme" and "noids" is representative of Robots. Hence Xananoids -"extreme robots". Also this was the year we created the Robotics Lab to carry out all our activities. Next year we participated in numerous other Robotics competitions and won many prizes. We formed 4 separate teams and participated in a robotics competition at IIT rookie. We bagged all 3 top spots and also the title of Best Technical College. 2006 Robocon was very special for us. We had an excellent design and the machine was very accurate. Right from Round 1 we were the favorites. The machine would score maximum points every time it went out. For this effort we bagged the "Best Autonomous machine award ". Xananoids not only brought us all these prize and recognition, but also changed the lives of all it touched .I and Subhash started our careers at a Robotics startup which recruited us from the floors of Robocon 06. Ritukar, Chandra Prakash and many others still work in organizations developing Robots. Sourabh Vaya runs an electronics venture Vaya technologies. I started a venture called anykits and served some very interesting clients in the film Industry like Prime Focus Ltd and designed Robotic characters for the movie Love story 2050 . Although anykits is now closed, I am still hooked for life to robotics and microcontrollers .I currently work as a Senior Engineer (Automation and Control) with Honeywell.

Xananoids Achieving HeightsIn year 2010 XANANOIDS represented JECRC at Thappar University and was declared winner in 3 major events which were advance path follower, under water submarine and landrover. Development of latest cost effective bots like advance room counter, metal detector and separator. The XANANOIDS members has worked on object pick up with live streaming. This advance robot can be used commercially and for surveillance also. The 1st year students of the group have won around 10 major competitions held in various colleges of Jaipur during diff Technical fests. Recently Xananoids have collaborated with Gridbots Technologies which is an incubated company of world renowned management institute IIM Ahmedabad and is working for defense of Indian Government. With this collaboration the students will be given hands on training on the latest technologies of Robotics Engineering and also they will be given some industrial projects to work upon. Ongoing projects:-GPS based automatic pesticide sprayer Smart wheelchair and baby strollers to avoid accidents Robotic arm Keyboard interfacing to control devices

INTERVIEW

Ardhendhu Bhatia- Batch 2000-2004

One of the proud alumni of JECRC, Mr. Ardhendhu Bhatia, presently working as a Senior Consultant at Deloitte Consulting, has also authored A to Z of Information Technology, published by Indus valley, India. After JECRC, he was at the Carnegie Mellon University, and with many stars to his name, he makes us Feel proud to be a JECRCian. Here is what he said about JECRC and his journey JECRC for Mr. Ardhendu.' Please share with us more about it. I very fondly remember my time at my alma mater, those four years at JECRC were one of the most beautiful and defining moments of my life. A place which provided me the opportunity to transform from a relatively quiet personality, to a confident individual who could vocalize opinions/ thoughts, and share them in a distinctive manner. In a true sense, the four years were like four milestones; with first milestone making me realize my true potential, the second helping me find my direction. The third milestone helping me mobilize in the right direction; and the fourth milestone providing a launch pad to take off. Being the first ever batch had its own set of challenges; however with the help of a faculty truly dedicated, a management team with true leadership and friends who were like Mr. Ardhendhu Bhatia a family it converted into a journey of a lifetime. Senior Consultant, How has the life changed in all these years i.e from the cacooned environment of college? Deloitte Consulting, US Life has changed, a lot! You would not find single JECRC alum who would not agree that they would love to go back to that compassionate environment that they experienced during their undergraduate studies. During our graduation, corporate employment was not the most conducive but was catching up; it presented me and my peers with challenges at every step. Right after graduation the entire batch worked collectively to pursue opportunities and navigate through the complex industry structure. Fortunately, I got blessed and found myself working for Infosys. From that point, travel is the other word I can describe my life with. Having worked and lived at more than fifteen locations around the world with some of the best peoples and top firms; the skills I acquired during my education at JECRC helped me turn every rock. After completing my graduate studies from Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh I joined Deloitte Consulting as a Senior Consultant and am currently consulting for US Federal and State Governments. How will you describe your college experience? Do you miss the fun? Which activities you were involved in during college years? Absolutely I miss the fun! As the slogan goes you can take a JECRCian out of JECRC but you cant take JECRC out of JECRCian. My college experience has been truly exceptional in every sense; right from participating in different events to the late night group discussions during semester examinations. During my college days I was largely involved in events that involved event management, heavy people skills and strong communication skills. The most important part of my undergraduate life was the opportunity to interact and compete with talented individuals. To what extent has your engineering background helped you to be skilled in the analysis of technical reports or information. What new skills have you developed alongside?? My engineering background equipped me with sound analytical ability that I leverage and utilize on a daily basis to solve complex problems for my clients. For me personally, Software Engineering and Management of Information Systems as subjects have proven to be the most valuable. It not only provided me a methodological perspective to executing projects but also enhanced my application skill sets. It allowed me to view problems multi-dimensionally and bring to the table variety of perspectives to serve the needs of stakeholders across different businesses and technical areas. Over the period of time exposure to the industry practices and professional point of views facilitated in enhancing my communication, networking and people skills which I leveraged on a continued basis on different platforms. Its important to redefine your goals after a certain period of time to ensure that the passion and drive does not fade away. I believe this is the most important element for a successful professional career. What aspects of personality should a student own during the formative years in college? What more would you advise your juniors? (In regard with the increasing intellectual needs of the job market) I will structure my response differently for this question as I believe this is critical to the success of an individual and is relevant from my experience. I will try to keep it simple and would suggest my talented juniors to focus on the three soft skill elements that will help facilitate their success in every opportunity they undertake. Communication Skills: I cant stress more on one of the most important skill. What good is a talent if it cant be presented? Participate in debates, seminars, presentations; anything that requires you to stand up and address/share your ideas with people. Your college is the best platform. So even if you fumble; dont worry and keep practicing. Analytical Ability: Its essential for an individual to develop strong analytical ability early in his/her professional career. This lays down the foundation for being inquisitive, asking the right questions and developing the ability to break down complex problems into simpler forms to devise appropriate solutions. Being Driven/Passionate: I consider this as one of the most important ingredients for a successful career. I believe its important to experiment and explore new horizons; and identify strengths and development areas. This could be a strength in a soft skill (Communications, Networking etc.) or hard skill (Technology, Business etc.). Once identified, the next logical step is to work on the areas of development and build your knowledge around it. Is there anything we havent talked about, that you wanted to talk about? I would like to emphasize the fact that my talented JECRC juniors should leverage every single opportunity they receive at JECRC; I truly admire the significant effort and initiatives taken up by the management and more importantly the student community to bring us as one of the top institutions nationwide. Your admission to the JECRC fraternity is the first step to your success; define your milestones, pursue your dreams, leave footprints for your juniors and keep enhancing the legacy.

FRESHMAN 2011

Q. What do you felt best about the college ?

Resilience of spontaneous acceleration is something I got to deal with here in the college, which believes to have a positive attitude towards growth. A n eventful atmosphere and a sense of mobility, and competitive environment is the best thing this prestigious institute offers. The more you feel, more you absorb, more you understand, the basic principle of engineering, its all here. It accounts for an all round development providing backbone support to its students.in true sense it is to be crowned as 'college'. It has norms to be followed but not a forceful imposition of these rules on its students.last to go,it always outstands in whatever and whichever activities it ladders on. It equips them with knowledge, both theoritical and practical, and a strong background for their over all develpoment to take place providing the spark and igniting their hearts and minds

Q. What new clubs

related activities you think should also be there ?

Swati Rajvanshi I yr CS

Though JECRC is equipped with modern facilities and splendid infrastructure, but it still can improve more in the field of sports at national and state level. It is high time that our college takes a stand in this field, and music club which would could help the students interested in music, so that the talents of JECRCians can also be showcased On a higher level also

Ajay Swami I yr EE

With most of the needed clubs already there in the college, if we could include a foreign language class, for example for French, German, which may help us in our professional lives as well. Moreover a class for the students who are good at programming, to increase their level above the standard ones.

Q. What was your experience of your first major event of the college ?
Y first major event of this college has been the engineers day. Being the first event of my college life it has been Remarkably an extravagant event, taking a stand and adding to the best of my memories. The event brought forth both the 'happy-go-lucky' and 'heart warming' attitude of the jecrcians. On the 15th day of september, i witnessed engineer's day. It was extremely good. Every first year student enjoyed this event. There was a huge participation From first year. We made posters, decorated the college, some of us prepared for cultural events. I had a chance to do the anchoring and enjoyed my task very Much. We had a great experience and we learnt various skills.

SIZZLERS

It was one of those days when everyone beside you is swamped and the only work you have, is to look at them and say to yourself- I am THAT hopeless! The day had come. The first examination after joining college. I admit I was no child prodigy in terms of studies, but somehow, I managed to do well every time. This was different. My stomach felt different, which was partly because of the fact that my major dietary supplement was Bikaji Aloo Bhujia. Beside me was Alok, hell-bent on finishing the entire physics book. I could hear himTwinkle twinkle little star, how I wonder what you are It seemed strange, but chanting it somehow gave him concentration power or something. A gift from the stars, maybe. Suddenly, Rahuls alarm buzzed Sheila, Sheila ki Jawaani.. He was our third roommate and not the most sincere one. On the spur of the moment, Alok lost itWake up! I swear if I hear Sheila ki Jawaani again, Ill dump your phone in monkey shit! How? Is your shit still fresh?, fired Rahul, getting up. Thank the heavens Im not kicking your ass right now. We have an exam in one hour! OH! THANK YOU, HEAVENS. THANK YOU FOR SAVING MEFROM ALOK SHARMA! mocked Rahul. Youre gone!, screeched Alok, as he got up and chased Rahul all over the room. The day had begun, just like any other. You prepared Rahul?, I asked. Yup. Offcourse! I will go there and rock the examiners world. Unit one, left hand chest pocket, unit two, underneath the belt, and yeah, Im wearing one. Unit three- Oh wait- where was unit three!, cried Rahul, turning back and reaching out inside his underwear, apparently in despair. Why dont you make a chit to keep a track of all your chits, you reatard? taunted Alok, justifiably not in his best mood. Ooh! Orang-utan got brain!, said Rahul, dancing like one. Alok was just about to begin the chasing game once again, whenHey guys, I tried to get some attention; Im not that sure about Unit-4. Hearing this, Alok fidgeted, hurried off to his desk and began yet again-Twinkle, Twinkle little star As all of this was happening, Rahul smeared. He had a strange smile. Behold, my brother, as I present to you- UNIT-4! He reached out to his back-pocket and handed me an obnoxious piece of paper, folded several times and probably not even made by Rahul. Now, I have sacrificed my childhood dream so that YOU can rock the examiners world. Take good care of it! You cannot expect me to cheat, Rahul!, I exclaimed, angry as ever. As the three of us reached the examination hall just on time, I noticed the two invigilators. One was our Maths teacher, around 50, but looking as old as the Indus Valley civilisation. We often joked that his head resembled that of Iron Man, bald and shiny. Surprisingly, accompanying him was a beautiful and sexy Rita Dixit, in a bright blue saree. She had just joined, fresh out of college and was so famous amongst us boys, that Rahul even wrote a poem for her once. Something beneath my socks made me notice all this. My pledge towards honesty had been nuked! As I wrote my paper, twinkle, twinkle little star often crossed my mind. But I did my best to supress it. And then, I was finished. Everything done. Except Unit-4, which had two questions. The first question, I wasnt very sure of and the second one, I had no bloody idea. I did know one thing though, the answers to both were hiding in my socks. Should I? Should I not? I was sweating. I looked around. Rahul was suspiciously staring at his belt. Aloks lips were moving. I was pretty sure as to what he mightve been humming. The guy in front of me had just exchanged answer sheets with his partner, and was somewhat in shock. It then struck me. What the hell! I slowly reached for my socks with my left hand. I glanced around and scratched my legs twice or thrice, to make it look natural. My face was probably all red. Then I craftily took out the shabby piece of paper. I was just about to open it when I saw something blue move in front of me.
