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. —-&&&—- 2 | TECHNORITHM CONVOCATION REPORT Convocation Ceremony was conducted on 21st December 2019 for the batch of 2018-2019 students.
