FROM PRESIDENT’S DESK
Academic Village
Today I am pleased to write a message to the alumni of SLIET, with a
tremendous sense of pride for the institute and it’s loyal alumni body.
A continuing process of strengthening SLIET has marked these 14 years,
since the first student stepped into the institute. This is the heritage that
we honor and this is the responsibility that we all assume. We are a
strong and attractive institution. Yet much remains to be done. SLIET is
a work in progress. As Fleetwood Mac put it: "We can't stop thinking
about tomorrow."
SLIET has evolved from the smaller simpler Institute; I came to in 1991,
into the far more complex advanced institution of today. We substantially
expanded both the faculty and the student body; we have achieved a
student body that is more diverse racially, socially, and economically.
Our curriculum has expanded in substantial ways and we have seen a
major overhaul of the degree requirements. We accomplished these
transitions with more success in some areas than in others.
The quality of our academic program is among the very best of any
institution in the country. We are continually rising towards being among
the attractive institutes in the country, and our admissions record is
among the most competitive of any institute or university. If you check
out the website (http://www.sliet.org), you will find a new achievement
that has been accomplished by the students, a new award won by a
scholar, a new PhD earned by a faculty member. Ever changing face of
the Institute towards a better tomorrow is worth a trip.
SLIET's future is exciting. Using creative approaches and significant
investment we can build upon the best of what we have today. We have
undertaken an important process: One that will shape an SLIET
education for many years to come and shape it for the better. I am excited
at the possibilities and intrigued by many of the suggestions we have
received so far.
We — alumni, students, faculty, and administrators — have a shared
responsibility to assure that SLIET can be the best institution of higher
learning in this country. Ideas are the lifeblood of institutes and
universities — but here we have long recognized the obligation of
nurturing as well a physical place that symbolizes and enables a powerful
sense of belonging and learning. This is an enduring example of what
Thomas Jefferson described as an "academic village," a place where
faculty and students form a community — learning together and learning
from each other.
Thank you & stay connected.

VIEWS FROM ALUMINI”S
TECHFEST-2005- AT A GLANCE
The 7 years I have spend in SLIET are very
precious for me. SLIET has given me
the opportunity and show me the right path to
explore my ideas, talent and most of all i
always feel like home during my stay there.
The faculty and students interaction is very
good
and
very
co-operative.
The
facilities provided to us are just like given in
IIT's and NIT's and at some part we are much
better to these institutions. Last but not least
Engineers from SLIET are doing good in the
INDIAN MARKET as well as SLIETIENS
are well settled in abroad also. I wish SLIET
will become No.1 Engineering Institution of
INDIA.
A never ending quest for knowledge, an undaunted endeavor to think
for perfection, a contagious curiosity to mine even beyond excellence
and unmitigated dedication to make the present of today even better
than the future of tomorrow are what inspired SLIET Students to think
big and continue braving the heights in organizing the Techfest-2005,
however, in an endeavor to extend the actual benefit of science and
technology to the common man of rural India thus helping Her to
become a super economic power in the world of satellites. However, it
is a fact that perfection is not attainable but, if one chase perfection, he
or she can catch excellence. This time the mega event, Techfest-2005
is going to be organized w. e. f 12.11.2005 to 14.11.2005 and will be
more industry oriented to provide the participating companies a
podium to advertise their product and a chance to interact with more
than 1000 students from all over India, along with around 2500
students and 500 faculty/staff members of our institute. Hence, in the
digital world of satellite networks and along with emphasis on brand new
events in the technical arena, there is also soothing bytes from informal
and cultural arena as well. Further, Techfest-2005, The Mantra of
Accountability in Search of Technology for Excellence, seeks to expand
the mandate bestowed on our thinking and move the horizon of our
reminiscence ever further for the cause of a common man in rural India.
With this aim and ideology in mind, the Techfest-2005 is again
reloaded this time to explore the vistas of dedication, leadership and
perfection which ultimately ends in achievement for which one not
only boasts but proves its worth in the competitive world. In its last
mantra, the festival witnessed a participation of more than 70
institutions\colleges with some as far from as Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat and
Karnataka. Also, at the very core of Techfest-2005, lies the intention of
industry institute interaction. The students want to interact with the
industry to know their requirements and latest demands, while the
industries want to put up their technical and managerial problem to
institute and students. With this motive, the festival, in fact, blows a
wind of change and infuses a breath of fresh air. Moreover, in this
festival, events like working and non-working model exhibition, paper
presentation, literary competition, workshops, informal events, cultural
events and those organized by various academic departments in their
fields were organized for the students of technical institution of the
country.
<GLORY IS NOT IN NOT FALLING, BUT
IN RISING AFTER EVERY FALL>
ANKIT CHAUHAN, Punj Lloyd
"It was 'sleight' of fate that i had the luck of
joining a college which proved to be everything
and even beyond what I had hoped for. From a
simple start, our college has come a long way
and in the process has aided me and my
countless other college mates to achieve
something from life, which may be regarded
humbly as success. Giving the credit where its
due, SLIET is place burning with enthusiasm
and desire. This desire is shown in the marks its
students are leaving in all possible fields and
this desire is what will pave the way towards
greater heights, for this college and for the
lucky students."
