                The Guest Speaker Mr. Udaya Sankar recalled his experiences as a HR Professional in organizations like HCL Technologies. He observed that most of the students face interviews with diffidence. It is a sad experience, which students should avoid. There are a few tips he gave the students to follow. First of all, students should nurture positive thinking. Negativism is a factor, which they should shed off in order to come up in life. Secondly, he advised the students to read a lot and to cultivate self-confidence. They should be well-informed in current affairs and in technical issues. Sound reading habit will enable us push up our personality. Thirdly, he instructed the students to rise against odds in life, like poor family backgrounds, etc., and to work hard with confidence in order to see success in one's life. Fourthly, he advised the students not to put the blame on others for their failures, but to accept realities and to strive hard to progress in life. Fifthly, he suggested creativity and innovation to surge ahead in dealing with problems in life. Finally, he asked the youth to be motivated by high achievers and to show commitment and involvement in all the tasks of life ahead of them.

The values cherished by great men should impel them towards the path of success. Failures are stepping stones to success in life.

After his presentation, Shri Udaya Sankar had interaction with students.

                          X Corporate Voice Programme was scheduled for the students of Final Year & Pre-Final Year ECE & CSE Branches.The Guest Speaker was Ms. Kavitha Kalaiselvi, Senior Manager – HR, HCL Technologies, Chennai.

                   Ms Kavitha Kalaiselvi talked about the Interview Skills. She advised the students to be dressed appropriately, and to face the interview with confidence and courage. She explained as to why students get rejected in interviews. It is diffidence which makes the students to withdraw into their own shell. Students need to talk convincingly with the help of their resume. Resume has to be prepared afresh for each of the interviews. Resume should not be copied, but it should bear the stamp of one's personality and attainments.

                       Projects have to be explained with all details. Sometimes, it is the projects which attract the attention of interviewing authorities. There should be no reservation or hesitation to talk about one's projects. Projects are inevitably the outcome of innovation and creativity. Projects establish the technical competence of students. Copying of projects, or diffidence to talk about the execution of projects would prove to be the launching pad for rejection of a candidate in an interview.

                            Ms Kavitha Kalaiselvi advised the students to nurture positive attitude to life and to shun all kinds of negativism in life. Aptitude is what the students need to keep developing from the first year, by performing the exercises in R.S. Aggarwal's book on Quantitative Aptitude. Right attitude and aptitude alone could enable them rise up to the expectations of the industry. Students should visit websites of companies and get themselves tuned to the needs of the company and prepare themselves for their career in the corporate world.

After the end of the speech of the Chief Guest, Ms Nanthini, wife of our Director Sri Vijay Srinivas, addressed the students about her relationship with the Chief Guest right from school days, and advised the students to take up all initiatives to get into the engineering career, by rising to the expectations of the industry.

A nuclear submarine is an amazing machine. Imagine how difficult it is to design a seaworthy vessel that can travel to great depths beneath the surface, launch ballistic missiles while underwater and maintain the life functions.Diesel submaraines typically cost anywhere from one quarter to a half of nuclear subs. They are also easier to maintain, easier to sell to a public often set against nuclear power, and, can stay submersed for up to a month. However Diesel subs are suited for small shallow

sea, with straits and needs to be in the vicinity of its target. Its frequent surfacing, makes them highly vulnerable to visual, acoustic and radar detection But when rapid movements over long ocean distances are required, nuclear propulsion is the desired choice  The nuclear reactor also supplies power to the submarine's other subsystems, such as for maintenance of air quality, fresh water production by distilling salt water from the ocean, temperature regulation, etc. Submarines may carry nuclear fuel for up to 30 years of operation. The stealth weakness of nuclear submarines is the need to cool the reactor even when the submarine is not moving; about 70% of the reactor output heat is dissipated into the sea water. Another problem is that the reactor is always running, creating steam noise, which can be heard on SONAR. Does a nation invest in expensive nuclear powered subs or opt for cheaper diesel operated vessels? A nuclear Submarine force is the right option for countries with large oceans to patrol.

The best students are not those who are the most intelligent but the ones who take advantage of their talents and work hard to surge ahead of all their classmates – just like our I year students.

Kudos to the 37  students(I year - 8213) for passing the Business English Certification (BEC) exam. We hope your result motivates you to pass every challenge that life throws at you.

Passing the BEC requires lot of perseverance. We wish your perseverance transforms into success in all your exams repeatedly, not just once. Congratulations.
