v ALUMNUS SPEAK
Hi, I am Kartik Rao. I completed my bachelor's from SAKEC in 2019. I have since been pursuing my Masters in Computer Science at Clemson University. I was going to write about my experience here at SAKEC, but I fell that I must say what I feel are the most important lessons that I have learned during my journey at SAKEC. I know now it may feel like a lecture, but nonetheless please try to go through it, maybe it can help you in some way. The main thing that I learned at SAKEC is to keep trying new things and attending or preferably conducting various events for different technologies so that you get to know what the various concentrations are and what your interests are. SAKEC is an amazing platform for exploration as many events are held each week by the student chapters and all the faculty members are really supportive. Once you are done searching wide from various fields like Security, App development, Game dev, UI/UX, Software Engineering, Computer Graphics, Data Science, Networking, Foundations, and Theory like Optimization, you then can select one concentration and dive in deep into it to learn a lot about it. SAKEC also taught me to think ahead and made me realize that we should choose between one of four goals for after bachelors and then work towards it. The four goals being Applying for a Job, Further Studies, Staring your own Company or maybe you just don't feel that Engineering is right for you and following your passion. I learned from SAKEC that realizing what you want to achieve ahead of time is most important. Each one of those goals needs a different path to follow along with getting good grades on your finals.
Mr. Kartik Rao
1 | TECHNORITHM ALUMNUS SPEAK
A. Applying for a Job Solidify your foundations by paying attention in class. Pick a programming language and practice it on Code Chef/Hacker Rank/ Leet Code Prepare for your Aptitude test. B. Further Studies Get awesome grades so you don't miss out on top Universities Prepare for the entrance exams/ prerequisite exams in your free time Try and make sure that your final year project is relevant to what you want to study later. Write a few research papers, I promise it doesn't take a lot of your time. C. Startup E-Cell is an amazing place to know what skills are required for startups. Catch hold of alumni who have started their own organizations (you can get hold of them through E-Cell, your teachers or seniors) and get all the challenges they face in real-time. Develop skills to face those challenges ahead of time. D. Following your own Passion. I still feel that Engineering can be a really good backup just in case. If you absolutely feel that this is definitely not your cup of tea, talk to your teachers, family, friends, and well-wishers to get their support. This part can be a bit vague but it totally depends on what you are passionate about and work to be at the topmost Tier in whatever you wish to be. Everyone at SAKEC including the teachers, HOD ma'am, Principal Sir, and last but not least all my friends and colleagues had given me a lot of support and I am sure that if you ask for it they will help you achieve your goals too. We have a really healthy and wholesome environment and it is the perfect environment for you to grow as a student and as a person. I really hope every one of you enjoys your time at SAKEC as those were one of the best years I have had while also keeping an eye on your goals and pursuing your dreams. -Mr. Kartik Rao BE IT 2019. —-&&&—-

Work from home by IT Staff during lockdown due to COVID-19
All faculties from our institute were provided with Google Classroom hands-on training on 16th March 2020. This step was taken so that faculties can continue with the teaching-learning process using Google Classroom.
All IT faculties used Google Classroom to post Teaching material in the form of PDFs/PPTs/Word Documents. Some of the faculties also uploaded their videos (recorded using Screen Recorder or using TableTop) as teaching material. Some of the faculties also provided YouTube Video links to better understand a few topics from the syllabus of the subject. Continuation of Teaching-Learning through various modes such as Online Learning / Social Media (WhatsApp / YouTube) / E-mails / Video Conferencing etc. was essential to complete the syllabus.
All faculties who are Project guides used Zoom Meetings or WhatsApp Audio/ Video calls or Conference calls to discuss project progress with the students and to guide them to complete project Literature survey, Implementation, paper publication, and report writing. Project Review faculties used Zoom meetings to conduct review meetings and suggestions were entered into Google sheet.
Many faculties attended Faculty Development Program (FDP), Workshop, Training, Short Term Training Program (STTP), Webinar using online modes such as Zoom Meeting, Cisco Webex Meeting, Microsoft Team Meeting, or Google Meet.
Most of the faculties participated in Online Quiz hosted by many academic institutions.
Those who attended online courses and/or quizzes filled assessment or feedback online using Google form or websites such as SurveyMonkey.
The majority of staff members from IT attended NPTEL Special Lecture Series using YouTube Streaming.
The faculty members have contributed a lot for the benefit of students during the lockdown period which is very well reflected in the Teaching Learning Centre(TLC) feedback taken from IT students.

From 200 young buds like me participating at school level, I made it to the top 6 of the East Mumbai zone by clearing the essay writing round, the group discussion round, the vocal thought round and lastly the personal interview round.

What is happening around amuses me today. “I stay alone confined in the walls of my own house and even then my very own home haunts me”, these are the feelings one is going through in this isolation and social distancing period throughout the country. Cause we have conditioned our mind and heart to find happiness in a crowd, in the company of the external world. We dare not stay alone, so we socialize and put our life on display on fb, insta, twitter, whatsapp to name a few to gather likes, comments and satisfy our urge to be with someone. We invest in a very good lifestyle home, do up the interiors but find happiness away from home. But today destiny has forced us to be in our nest, with our loved ones. Today we have forgotten our religion, caste or creed because today we have the desire to just ‘LIVE’ and these things seem trivial. The doors of the so called places of worship are closed too. We have begun to see God in the doctors, policemen, nurses, shopkeepers, the garbage man, the milk man who are serving us in spite of this deadly scenario. We are grateful to them and are humble towards them today. We are experiencing life which we never valued and took for granted. We are craving today to get a glimpse of even one human being, to see the sunshine, to sweat in the heat, to walk on the grass; all of which we never considered as parameters of our happiness or living. We have realized that we alone cannot live happily even if we own the world’s riches. We have come to terms that to live happily we need our family, the society and the nature at large. There is absolute silence everywhere and I hear the birds chirp and sing as if the birds and animals are ruling as well as laughing at poor mankind that we are caged. The birds and animals are happier than us today cause they have something essential that we don’t have, they are free....in body and in spirit. We humans are bonded with desires..desire to achieve, to snatch, to rule ,to overpower, to hold down someone. And these unending desires have caged us today. I know this is a trying period for each one of us but remember there is a solution to every problem…a path to every goal. The Almighty is very kind; just like a mother who may yell, scream or even beat the child at times but always for his good. I have faith in this mother who will hold us through these trying times but we her children all need to be together not physically but sub consciously with our minds and heart together to pray for this evil to diminish from the world. I am sure this episode will make us better humans and we will value the little things in life which are the core of our happiness.
