The Department of English organised a workshop for the III Year students on CV writing and Interview techniques. The Resource person was Dr.V.Thiagarajan from Bannari Amman College of Tech, Erode. He represented the British Council who offered their expertise to our students. The ppt was quite informative and in touch with modern techniques. The children were very happy with the talks and, if I may proudly say so, it was held in the ECE Seminar Hall.
Dr.V.Thiagarajan commented that he was surprised that a government college had such facilities. The truth is, GCE Salem has really good infrastructure, much better than those offered by SF colleges, though we may not have the frills like architectured landscapes and marbled walls all over. But, GCEians can take pride in the fact that we are SOLID inside. Perhaps, one day, if I can get my hands on the photos of new and sophisticated equipment installed and used in the labs and the pictures of seminar halls, you will all get an idea of the complete makeover the college has had.

Another exciting news for all is that from this academic year we are Anna University, Coimbatore after the demarcation of regions such as CBE, Tiruchi and Tirunelveli. And, yes, keep breathing, MBA and M.E. Computer Science are offered this year at our college under Anna Unviersity, CBE. Keep rejoicing.

How could I give you all such late news? Most unforgivable act, I know. That is because the good news is already beginning to flow in...TCS has taken in 151, ( 151, please), TAFE has taken in 2 and Wipro has taken 39. Caritor has happily taken in 16. More companies are in line.
Right now, we are busy preparing presentations for the NBA visit. The Principal was very pleased with the English department's ppt. He said it was an excellent presentation. I wish I could stop blowing the trumphet, but, I cannot seem to be able to do it.
7 Metallurgy students of last year placed in software companies have cleared the National examinations and are recruited by SAIL as trainess. Purnima Seshadry and Uma Priyadarshini came to offer me some sweets. I feel very proud that GCEians are proving their mettle in their field of study.
The teaching faculty is right now in a decimated condition, what with Prof V.Ramachandran and Prof.Marappan having retired, Dr.Nelson of Maths transferred to Bargur and a few other teachers having retired or on sick leave.
