INFOSYS SPARK PROGRAM-6Th March 2010

We take this unique opportunity to thank all our alumni involved in organising the INFOSYS Spark program which was held on 6th March 10 at Infocity, Bhubaneswar. Special Thanks to Alok Bhai, Debakalyan Bhai, Sampad Bhai, Sriradha Bhai, Sandeep Bhuyan Bhai, Dhirendra Bhai, Rajesh Bhai, Khan Bhai, Jaya Bhai and Subhra Didi for taking all the pain to organize this event for us.

Our special thanks to Manoranjan Bhai ,Mahendra Bhai and Sandeep Bhai for interacting with us and giving us the guidance that we actively sought during the Spark event.

The whole program was given great importance by the college authorities. This can be noted from the fact that the mid-semester examination which was to be held on 6th March was shifted for this programme. Around 220 students from all branches of second, third and final years participated.

As the name ‘Spark’, it really brought within as an insight of the software industry and its work culture. The talk was not only enriched in knowledge but also entertaining and exciting. The Group Discussion and the presentation was the most exciting part of the program. The whole program was focussed on the concept of team work.
It was a great experience to meet some of the alumni, who were so encouraging and made us feel at home. They also shared valuable experiences with us.
Spark was a really good start for enlightening our young minds. We definitely look forward to participate in more such programs in future. Hence, we request alumni from other organisation to invite us to such programs that would really benefit us all.

Varsities mirror trends in society: Guv

“Technology must move from the portals of the universities to the streets in villages, fields of farmers and factories of small entrepreneurs,” said Governor M C Bhandare.
Addressing the gathering at the first convocation of Veer Surendra Sai University of Technology (VSSUT), Burla, he said universities mirror the trends of society and are pointers to the degree of discipline and progress of a community.
Moreover, universities play a vital role as they are training centres for future generation to inculcate values and ethics in them, he remarked.
Though Orissa was culturally the richest in the country and also rich in minerals, unfortunately it continues to be economically backward as poverty and illiteracy are the major hurdles on path of development of the state, Bhandare added.

Dear Alumni,

We would like to bring to your notice, the current placement figures for the Year 2009 – 2010.
The placement figures for the current year have been average. So far, in spite of recession we have been able to achieve (146 out of 290) through 12 companies which is good to some extent, but we are always targeting for the 100% landmark.
Please find below the details of the campus recruitments so far:
COMPANY Recruited
INFOSYS 63
Vedanta 20
Pradan 12
L&T (ES) 9
TCE 8
Adani Power 8
Tata Power 8
Hindalco 7
NetHawks 3
Tata Motors3
OCL steel 3
Visa steel 2
Total 146


As many of our regular recruiters have narrowed their intake this year, we are planning to add new companies on our potential recruiter list.
We the students of VSSUT, Burla look forward to all our esteemed alumni to help us with the following:
1. Please write to us at placement.uce@gmail.com , placement_uce@rediff.com if you have the exact point of contacts or recruitment cell heads which T&P can approach and subsequently with your help can pursue for a possible chance for VSSUT through on-campus/ off-campus/ walk-in.

2. Please keep us updated about the corporate proceedings to initiate the recruitment drive in your company. It will be great if we can form a task force on a per company basis, comprising of a couple of students and a couple of alumni in that company.

3. Please encourage bilateral Industry Institute Interaction programs such as Industrial Visits, Projects, Summer Training, Internship Programs, College Visits and Guest Lectures etc.

4. Our request to BBSR Alumni is to please work toward the great initiative of building a placement cell extension on the purchased land. That would be a major landmark in the history of our University.

5. Even if companies print recruitment ads in newspapers or through other print media, please keep us posted on any job offerings by dropping a post to the alumni website or on the given email ids, so that we maintain a strong networking among us.

VSSUT to get facelift before first convocation

The Burla-based University College of Engineering (UCE) is all set to get a facelift before its first ever convocation after being re-christened as VSS University of Technology (VSSUT) bestowed with a unitary status. “As a university, it has completed one year and the achievements in this short span are no less,” said its first vice-chancellor Prof Deba Kumar Tripathy exuding confidence that it will see more bright days ahead with remarkable achievements in science and technology.

Since both large and medium scale industries are coming in good numbers all over the State and particularly surrounding this technical university, more job-oriented courses will be opened soon to create employment avenues for the students. The new courses will be water resources management, industrial power control and electric drives, material technology, manufacturing system engineering etc, informed Tripathy.

He also informed that all the vacancies in teaching and non-teaching posts would be filled up soon to convert this age-old institution to a full-fledged university. Simultaneously, advertisement has already been made in different newspapers and after the Board meeting, the process of recruitment would be initiated, Tripathy informed further. 146 students have already been selected for various companies through campus selection and more industries were to land here soon, he added.

On the forthcoming convocation on February 25 slated to be graced by the Chancellor cum Governor MC Bhandare, Tripathy informed that efforts are being made to give the entire campus a total new look by naming the campus as ‘Siddhi Vihar’ and the hostels after the Saptarshi Mandal.

Talking about the achievement of the students, Prof Prakash Chandra Swain said that the students of the university have stood first in the Robotic event at IIT Kharagpur recently. At the same time, it had successfully organised Samavesh-2010 with 2500 engineering students belonging to different engineering colleges all over the State. “There is possibility of getting Rs.10-20 crore aid from the World Bank for research activities,” Swain informed.
