TCS, the giant is in the campus. They had an accreditation meet to review the college and to probe the validity of the college of its claim as a college of repute. Mr.Pattabiram, one of the members unreservedly apologised for the fact that the college had so far been overlooked by it. It questioned teachers on methods used to impart good communication skills, review, student feedback, parent- college interface and importance given to ethics.
What impressed me at the end of it was their assertion that the company looked for culture, communication skills and knowledge base. They were simple, frank and open too in their discussions.
Kudos to the principal, Dr.Jeyakumar for his perseverence in persuading the company to come in for a recruitment drive in the college. All this happened last week. Today, the company has come for an online test for our students, which I believe goes on till 3a.m tomorrow. The kids are dead serious about it and anyway, I have no doubt about the capability of the present set. They are a brilliant and hard-working lot. God bless them with success.
Hema and Pradeepa, the two sweet things from EEE called up late last night to tell me they were taking up the test and sought blessings. God will be there with them and guide their thoughts and actions, I am sure. I wish the kids well.

Hello Chitra,
This is a very nice blog to read. What year and which department did you graduate from GCE Salem? I graduated in 1997 from ECE Dept. Don't know if you know of this old page: http://gcesalem.tripod.com that I created with Manoj Varkey (EEE, 1997). It's a little tongue-in-cheek humor but all done in with affection for good ol' GCE.
Hi Madam,
I am Ganesh from 1986 EEE batch. I met you last year in the college, during my visit for conducting mock interviews.
Nice to see good things written about GCE.
Dear Rafiq and Ganesh,
I hope that this will reach you both.
Yes, Rafiq, I have come across it...isn't it the one that has a page on the terrible, terrible faux pas of teachers...I enjoyed that one and was just praying that I wasn't becoming a colelctor's item in the future.
Well, I am not an alumnae of GCE (guess, I don't have the brains of a techie savvy student). I joined GCE as a faculty member in the department of English and have enjoyed every moment of these five years. Would have thoroughly enjoyed having you in my class, I am sure. You have a wacky sense of humour, as reflected in your website.
And Ganesh, I have a memory like a sieve, but, yes, I do remember meeting you when Mr Parveen Kumar Issar was there.
Keep in touch with the college. Our new principal, Dr.Jeyakumar Ebenezer is a fine man, and would love to get to hear from old students. You would really like him. He is a genuine man of action.
Hi Ms.Chitra,
I am alumnus of GCE (Class of '96, ECE). It's great to read your blog, which I came across purely by chance. From what you've written, I cannot believe this is the college from which I graduated!
Placement oppurtunities, Gecofest, girls performing skits(!)....sounds too good to be true.
Mr.Parveen Kumar might remember me as the one who used to sing. We have performed together on stage in '95-96. Rafiq, who has posted here may also remember me.
Please keep updating the blog. I would also like to keep in touch with you over email, if you do not mind. My email id is ravir_1@hotmail.com
Cheers,
Sudha
(ECE '96)
