A walk down memory lane :Dr Mahim Sagar: A memoir of an Alumni


IIITM Gwalior is amazing place and as I go back to my memory, I came to this institute to join the PhD programme .The selection was through entrance test and nearly 100 candidates gave the exam for the PhD. out of which only 5 were selected, this was a rare example where a very young institute in its starting year started a very successful and ambitious PhD Programme. The institute was taking the shape of a world class institute of excellence under the mentorship of Prof. D.P.Agrawal Sir , I remember those days when the team of dedicated faculty like Dr Deepali Singh madam and Dr R Sahu were developing the institute under the mentorship of Prof D.P. Agrawal. The institute was new and full of activity. The IIITM Gwalior at that point was in the make shift campus at MITS and the campus was being constructed at the present site. We used to see the tremendous Hard work of the faculty and also the inherent zeal to build the Indian Institute form the scratch . In this hectic activity the academic was of prime importance I remember Prof Agrawal sir used to visit the research scholar room daily and used to motivate us to do a new and world class Research. , As research scholar we were lucky to have a bunch of very good batch mates like I remember Saji who is now with TAPMI , Sujoy who is now joining IIT Kharagapur , Durgesh Ji who is now at IIM Shilong and Sandeep who is now at J.P, Shweta is now a consultant in USA and Sajal is now faculty at various institutes abroad.

Interview with Shreyas Shrivastava: Study Days @ IIITM Gwalior : A jaunty Journey …

Shreyas Shrivastava:Why do we need to fill this section again and again ...
better leave it blank for the time ...
....
Thank you sir ..for moments ...

Sidhi Baat (The Interview):


Name: AShreyas Shrivastava
Batch: IPG2001-06 MTech
Location: Gurgaon
Organization: Vichara Technologies

Q.1. Your Intro ? (the first question for every IIITMite in so called intro :))
Arun:
I am IPG MTech 2006 pass-out currently working as Technical Leader at Vichara Technologies. My work is primarily related to software product development in the area of FIS (Fixed Income Securities) Analytics.

Q. 2. Define IIITM in your word?
Arun:
Its a place which made the most of what I am today.

Q. 3.The most memorable moment @ IIITM ?
Arun:
Apart from all the fun moments & numerous nights spent in playing badminton, t.t. or snooker, the one thing that I cherish the most was the lectures by Mr. Davesh Singh. The course taken by him was the only one in which i had nearly full attendance. They were the most technically enlighntening lectures during the entire five years and the learnings and overviews gained during them have helped me in a long way.


Q. 4.Technology and Management in your words, how it become more special when it comes for IIITM ?
Arun:
The amalgam of management and technical subjects allowed us (IPG MTech) to develop an insight into how business works. In a normal five year course offered at other colleges, this much exposure to management subjects is definitely missing. Apart from the exposure being provided at curricular level,the phenomenon of having a mix of MBAs and MTechs as batch mates and dorm mates allows both to pick up more insight into each other's stream thereby enabling a true confluence of managment and technology.

Q. 5.Your experience and strategy @ your work place: how did you develop your skills from null to pointer, please give us a biographical detail .
Arun:
Be curious, remain open to learning and keep churning ideas in your head (both the right and wrong kinds ;) )

Q. 6. A message to your all juniors, (something you aspired most @ IIITM and want the same in your juniors) …
Arun:
Our college is unique in the sense that it allows us (IPG) to follow numerous career paths, given the option to chose mba or mtech and the availability of five years at a stretch. At my time, we were the second batch, so when we were in first or second year we didn't have much idea about what it would be like to be in the final or pre-final year, but now you have all your senior batches studying with you and multiple batches of alumni in the industry. My advice is that you should keep interacting with your seniors and try to form an idea of what all ways you can direct your progression at IIITM and later on. Also, one thing that I advise to everybody is that try to keep yourself well read. It really pays out in ways unbeknownst to you now.

Q. 7. IIITM on lighter note: eg: IIITM is getting more greener with times, what do you think ???
Arun:
Seeing the latest photos, I must say that there have been a good lot of developments taking place. During my five years, I have always longed for campus internet in hostel and the tennis court. I am told they are in place now, so its nice to see these things coming to fruition. The plethora of alumni initiatives being taken these days is also worth appreciating. Just hope that the rate of such developments keeps climbing up!

Interview with Ved Prakash Lal: Study Days @ IIITM Gwalior : A jaunty Journey …


Ved Prakash Lal: No intro Plz …




Batch: IPG2001-06-M.Tech
Location: Bangalore
Organization: IBM (an IIITM & IIM B alumni)


Your Intro
Senior se intro mangte ho!!! Ab tak seekhe nahi ho kaise baat karni chahiye... Chalo tab bhi kucch bol hi deta hun.
I am from IPG course, known more by my nickname than the full name, somehow fallen into IIITM from Bihar in the search of future, friends, fortune and fame. “Fallen” is the most suitable word because when I arrived, there was only one and half hostels were there majestically standing over a barren land. I am a (day) dreamer, rebellious and try to live at my own terms.


Define IIITM in your word
I saw IIITM through its developing phase from having one and half hostel into a full fledged green campus, so the word means differently for different time. But at all times it was a place of fun and freedom.

The most memorable moment @ IIITM
It is very difficult to single out the most memorable moment. There are many which still bring smile. I describe one of them.
In the beginning there was not a well-established system and so we had to resort to creativity and courage for even some essential works to get done. One of them is get food! In 2001 there existed only one considerably completed hostel (present day girls hostel) (say hostel no 1) and a half built one (present day Sindhu Hall) (say hostel no 2). In H. N.1 senior PG students were staying and in H.N. 2 IPG-2001, our senior IPG-2000 and some PG first year people were there. Mess was run only in H.N.-1. There was no good connectivity between them and during rains the campus around used to become muddy. Most of the students go to mess from HN-2 by bus to avoid mud. One day there was huge downpour and the campus became so flooded and muddy that even bus was not able to reach to the H.N.2. It was lunch time and HN 2 residents were hungry, but no way to reach to HN1 for lunch. Proudly I say that, then only I and my dear friend Mukesh Kumar 'Danda' had the courage to discover a path and tread to HN1. We braved our way into the flooded campus through huge mud and hidden ditches for lunch. It was very adventurous!

Technology and Management in IIITM perspective
The concept is good, but I think good amount of publicity and branding are still needed to get the industry aware of these things. Integrated MTech is well known, but not the integrated MBA.
2-year MBA students too face lot of problems if they do specialization in traditional areas like marketing, finance etc. It is difficult to attract and convince industry in these areas for placement. The location only aggravates the problem. I know many engg/mgmt colleges in Bangalore/Mumbai etc which are substandard to IIITM, but get better placement because of their location advantage.

Your experience and strategy @ your work place
Owing to the course structure, engg colleges give lot of free time to students to do things as they wish. IIITM is one step ahead, gives much more time :)). I think it follows St Rabindra Nath Tagore's principle to give freedom to students to learn what they want. This system leads to development of leadership in the students. It also promotes team building. The frequent presentations improve communication and speech delivery skills. Communication of knowledge is as important as the knowledge itself. And here IIITM has advantage due its culture of presentations which no engg college in India has.
Since beginning of my stay at IIITM I used interact a lot in class. It improved knowledge as well as communication. 'Class Interaction' is the key to my performance there.

A message to your all juniors
Do never feel having low morale. Develop desire to succeed. Believe me, intelligence is secondary to desire for success ( I do not mean that IIITMites are less intelligent, my intention is to emphasize the importance of desire). It does not matter whether you are intelligent or not, what matters most is an intense desire to do something, to succeed. Spiritual people say, if you want something intensely other forces in the universe come forward to fulfill them without your conscious knowledge.

IIITM on lighter note
Greener, hehe, in which sense please clarify!!!

IIITM Academic Roll of Honour

In current changing IIITM, sign boards, dirction boards etc. are first to notice. Currently many larger piece of art are being installed in different halls/ locations.
In this series here comes, 'The Special'...

Interview with Ashutosh Pathak: Study Days @ IIITM Gwalior : A jaunty Journey …

Ashutosh Pathak:The time demarcation never allows one to scribble one's mind here. The older you choose, the lesser you know.
Based upon few sessions of e-conversation, my perception says that I should avoid using my literary skill in putting something here.
He simply needs no testimonials.

Thank you sir, for your time in giving shape to persent IIITM Alumni Association.

Sidhi Baat (The Interview):




Name:
Ashutosh Pathak
Batch: IPG2001-06-MBA
Location: Jeddah, KSA
Organization: TCS

Q.1. Your Intro ? (the first question for every IIITMite in so called intro :))
Ashutosh:
I was part of second IPG batch of IIITM admitted in IPG 2001. I did my 5 yr dual degree in Btech & MBA. After passing out, I joined TCS. In past 3 years in TCS, I have been working as Information Risk Management domain as consultant. I feel that this is one of the best profiles which suits my education I received in IIITM.

Q. 2. Define IIITM in your word?
Ashutosh:
IIITM is an apex institute which was setup with a vision to provide new dimensions to IT education in India. This institute aims to mingle IT with management and other curriculums to provide a proper amalgamation of various domains. Like every young institutes, IIITM is in a stage to develop its brand image. We have already proven our potential and caliber as a top institute at various times, but still IIITM needs to be recognised as one of the top 5 institues in India, which I am sure will be in next 5 years or so.

Q. 3.The most memorable moment @ IIITM ?
Ashutosh:
Off course getting my degree completed was most memorable day in IIITM. I can't forget that day because a long journey had come to an end and I had to say good-bye to my batch of 47 students with whom I was studying like a family. I was feeling nostalgic for the ups and downs which I had seen there. There are numerous wonderful and unforgettable moments of class rooms, hostel, examination halls and canteen which I can never forget.

Q. 4.Technology and Management in your words, how it become more special when it comes for IIITM ?
Ashutosh:
Technology is a medium to get things done and Management is the way to use that medium in the nbest possible way. We are fortunate that we descend from one of the rare institutes in India which provides education in IT cum management with a proper delivery approach. Although in initial years, we felt some issues due to lack of faculty and infrastructure but gradually things became easy. The way IIITM is producing techno managers year by year, i am damn sure we are to be considered the best academic products in this IT era.

Q. 5.Your experience and strategy @ your work place: how did you develop your skills from null to pointer, please give us a biographical detail .
Ashutosh:
When I joined corporate, I was like a lamb in this new world passed out from college. Gradually, I have developed competency and skills to stay in corporate. In corporate, only hard work and talent doesn’t pay. One should know how to take credit of his work and if possible, of others work too. From being a good IT institute, it was easy for me to understand technology and its importance. I am working as Information risk management consultant which is a type of IT consulting. I work for compliance projects related to ISO27001, SOX, BS25999 all which need technological as well as managerial understanding. It is a good learning time in last 3 years. Finally, I have got a path to follow and a life-time goal to achieve.

Q. 6. A message to your all juniors, (something you aspired most @ IIITM and want the same in your juniors) …
Ashutosh:
Besides studying books and scoring marks, developing attitude and communication skills is very important. I know many people who don't know anything but only by virtue of there positive & dominating attitude and polished communication, they achieve what others can't. But knowledge is also important otherwise people will understand that whatever you are saying is baseless & illogical. So I would like my juniors to develop both - attitude & aptitude.

Q. 7. IIITM on lighter note: eg: IIITM is getting more greener with times, what do you think ???
Ashutosh:
greener in sense of grass & trees - yaa definitely
in sense of development - again I would say we are developing. Thanks to sincere & diligent students and proper direction provided by director Dr. Deshmukh & faculty members. I think we can improve much more . Only thing needed is to maintain trust in ourselves and in our brand and keep going!!!

Interview with Pragnya Maduskar: Study Days @ IIITM Gwalior : A jaunty Journey …

Pragnya Maduskar: She is one of the two aspirations of IPG2002. She is the early martyrs of IIITM Women Front (IWF) who always fought for the greenery cause and subsequent global warming inside the campus.[;)]

According to her some of the admirers:
'She is innocence personified!';
'she is Apotheosis of friendship';
'
she has got real good head, also she has got a "Clay" sort of heart' ...
For us, she was a 'constant gardener' in our networking lab, though she had never taken a single lecture [:)] .

Thank you ma'am , for your leading supports. [;)]

Sidhi Baat (The Interview):




Name:
Pragnya Maduskar
Batch: IPG2002-07-M.Tech
Location: Bangalore
Organization: Siemens Information Systems Limited

Q.1. Your Intro ? (the first question for every IIITMite in so called intro :))
Pragnya:
Hi, I am from IPG 2002 Batch and that qualifies me as one of the two girls in our batch. Currently I am working in Medical Imaging field with Siemens Computer-aided diagnosis research group in Bangalore.

Q. 2. Define IIITM in your word?
Pragnya:
Freedom, fun and frolic

Q. 3.The most memorable moment @ IIITM ?
Pragnya:
These 5 years @ IIITM was complete fun. Be it late night gossiping in girl’s hostel, watching movies, eating out everyday, bunking classes or night out before the exams, I enjoyed every bit of it. One incident I can never forget is the Major exam of Modeling and Simulation, when we (me and Aparna) reached half an hour late for the exam (as we were sleeping) and despite of that managed to finish the paper.

Q. 4.Technology and Management in your words, how it become more special when it comes for IIITM ?
Pragnya:
Personally MBA is not my piece of cake. IIITM has tried to amalgamate two different perspectives i.e. technology and management and because of this I got to learn few Management related fundamentals (which I never implemented). I feel it still needs to be nurtured further so that this unique combination is appreciated and realized by the industry.

Q. 5.Your experience and strategy @ your work place: how did you develop your skills from null to pointer, please give us a biographical detail .
Pragnya:
We never got any kind of spoon feeding in IIITM and I learnt here to pursue everything on my own. This attitude always helped me in finding right opportunities in my current organization. If your work really interests you, any kind of skills can be acquired in that field to bridge in the gaps.

Q. 6. A message to your all juniors, (something you aspired most @ IIITM and want the same in your juniors) …
Pragnya:
The time you spend during your college days is never gonna come back. Enjoy it to the fullest and live your dreams. You have lot of freedom and time to learn many things and work towards your career as well as personal interests. Don’t follow the herd but pursue the field which you really passionate about.

Q. 7. IIITM on lighter note: eg: IIITM is getting more greener with times, what do you think ???
Pragnya:
IIITM is an inseparable part of my life where I have spent 5 important years. Institute management is putting lot of efforts towards building the IIITM brand image globally. Things are much better now as compared to our times in terms of facilities and academics. I really wish that with time institute gets the global visibility and we as IIITM alumni.

IIITM Alumni, Bangalore Chapter-I




Attended by 48 enthusiastic veterans from various batch starting from 2000 to 2008, the Bangalore chapter of the IIITM Alumni Association turned out to be the most efflorescent alumni meet in this history of IIITM, standing next only to the annual alumni meet held in the institute campus every year. The event marked a mutual appreciation between the institute and the alumni in Bangalore. The alumni appreciated the commendable developments that have taken place within the institute. On the other hand, the institute approved of the pivotal role that the Bangalore alumni can (and will) play in shaping the institute to world-class levels.





The gathering was a defining meet for both Bangalore alumni and the institute as the entire gamut of issues, directly or indirectly affecting the stakeholders, was discussed during the panel discussion that spanned for more than two hours. The structure of the Bangalore chapter of the IIITM Alumni Association was finalized with an outstanding consensus among the attendees.

As decided during the meet, the alumni meet in Bangalore will take place at a quarterly basis with the institute contributing to the arrangements at an annual basis. More details on the next meet will be communicated over email shortly.

IIITM Alumni Meet'09: Reunniting the Stalwarts !

Interview with Abhinav Gupta: Study Days @ IIITM Gwalior : A jaunty Journey …

Abhinav Gupta: There are some limitations to this section. How can one write something about a person without any acquaintance! When I joined the insti, he already had left .

Based upon few email conversations during his some SOS with insti., my perception says that he is a true IIITMite who always lives up to his own expectations.

Thank you sir , for your simple moments.

Sidhi Baat (The Interview):




Name:
Abhinav Gupta
Batch: MBA 2003-05
Location: Mumbai
Organization: Johnson & Johnson

Q.1. Your Intro ? (the first question for every IIITMite in so called intro :))
Abhinav:
Professional: I am a passout of MBA2003-05 batch and during MBA my major/minor were IT/Marketing. During campus interviews, I got selected for Skoch Consultancy Services, Gurgaon and worked with this company for about 18 months after that I worked with SDG Software India, Noida. I then moved to US and worked there for about 2 years with the client Principal Financial Group as an IT Business Analyst. I moved back to India in March'09 and currently working as Sr. Business Analyst with Bluechip Computer Consultants for the client Johnson & Johnson.

I got married in 2007 with my girlfriend for 6 years. She is also an IT Business Analyst.


Q. 2. Define IIITM in your word?
Abhinav:
IIITM is a platform which gives you an immense opportunity for self development through varied resources available at the institute. It is upto an individual on how to manage the time and make best use of the resources to achieve the aim of the life.

Q. 3.The most memorable moment @ IIITM ?
Abhinav:
Not one specific but I had great time at the institute overall. We used to play cricket at terrace, celebrate Diwali, Lohri and all the festivals. It used to be fun at Aurora.

Q. 4.Technology and Management in your words, how it become more special when it comes for IIITM ?
Abhinav:
From my experience I can say that techonology has to amalgamate with management in order to be effective and vice-versa. IIITM has an advantage that it makes managers who are also groomed to be technocrats so you are able to relate the technology and it's implementation as the business systems. Though, I would still say that our curriculum still needs to be driven from on the job requirements.

Q. 5.Your experience and strategy @ your work place: how did you develop your skills from null to pointer, please give us a biographical detail .
Abhinav:
I think I answered part of this in Q 1 but regarding development I would say, you need to focus on your goals and take steps in that direction only. The company you work for has got many employees and it is next to impossible that development of each employee will be taken care of. You are your own manager, just focus on objectives and try to manage resources from the organization. This is the strategy I work on.

Q. 6. A message to your all juniors, (something you aspired most @ IIITM and want the same in your juniors) …
Abhinav:
My message to juniors would be, "Do not worry for placements until you are in final Semester" because all the time before that is to acquire and brush up skills. Work towards obtaining education which would be helpful in getting a job of your choice. DO NOT study just for the sake of getting job which is not of your choice but is paying you high. In short, pursue what you really want. Do not consult everyone, consult selected people who are working in the area you want to be in.

Q. 7. IIITM on lighter note: eg: IIITM is getting more greener with times, what do you think ???
Abhinav:
On heavier note: IIITM needs to increase its visibility across the nation. Definitely alumni plays a big role in that but institute should also take measures to give it a boost
