It is believed that Lord Ganesh be-stows his presence on earth for all his devotees during the festival of Ganesh Chaturthi. It is the day when Ganesha was born. Ganesha is widely worshipped as the god of wis-dom, prosperity and good fortune and traditionally invoked at the be-ginning of any new venture or at the start of travel. Ganesh Chaturthi is one of the most colorful and widely cele-brated festivals in India and of course students are no less in celebrating it with full enthusiasm. Students of JECRC Foun-dation organized the festival at a grand level and the celebration com-menced by Ganpati Sthapana on Ganesh Chaturthi day. For duration

Ganpati Bappa Moriya!

of 9 days, evening prayers from 9:00 PM to 11:30 PM were offered to Lord Ganesha to seek his blessings. The arrangements for the festival were made by students from Boys Hostel 1 & 3 and Direc-tor Sir, Vice President sir and college management

sponsored the whole festival and made it a huge success. We thank you all. Hostlers participated ac-tively and did their best to make the celebrations of this fest a huge success. The celebrations were also remarkable at the JECRC University where Maha Aarti of Lord Ganesha with 108 lamps was conducted and in a Chhappan Bhog programme Lord Ganesha was offered 56 food items. The festival finally came to an end by Gan-pati Visarjana taking place in a lake near Sheetla Mata Mandir on the 9th day i.e. final day. On the day of visarjana everyone’s heart is filled with mixed emo-tions as they feel sad to say goodbye to their be-loved Lord Ganpati and then wait for the next year to welcome Ganpati ji and celebrate festival with full energy and excitement once more.

The Joy of Giving Week is India’s Thanksgiving cel-ebrated every year, in the week including Gandhi Jay-anti, i.e., October 2-8. It brings together Indians from all walks of life, to celebrate the spirit of giving. Peo-ple from every part of society including auto drivers

to CEOs, school children to celebrities, homemakers to opinion makers, millions of people give their time, money, resources or skills back to society by sharing the joy of giving. Apart from imparting quality technical edu-cation to the students, JECRC Foundation has also ventured for celebrating the ‘Spirit of Giving’. There was an active paticipation from the JECRCians in the ‘Festival of Giving’. The festival was celebrated as ‘Joy of Giving Week’ wherein the complete college

campus was decorated with posters to imbue the feeling of sharing and giving amongst all the stu-

dents and the staff members. Team Zarurat placed Joy of Giving Week Wish Tree around the campus and the main canteen with

Wish Cards. Wish Tree is literally a wish-fulfilling-tree that gives people the opportunity to fulfil the needs and wishes of someone else. The concept behind the Wish Tree was to en-

courage students & teachers to pick one card and participate in the ‘Festival of Giving’. The more cards got picked, the more they got replaced by JGW Smi-ley’s, henceforth referred to as Wish Fruit. Fruitier the tree looked, it showed the people who were committed to the cause. The Thought of togetherness was instilled in everyone by motivating them to contribute gener-ously with the purpose that the contribution made from a donor will be half shared by the team Zarurat. On the last day, the collected goodies were distib-uted among the children. The smile which stretched across their faces indeed provided the ‘Joy of Giving’ to everyone!

Dr. Krishen shared his deepest insights

about life and the universe

The occasion was the seminar conducted by NASA senior sci-entist Kumar Krishen working Advanced Planning Office, NASA Johnson Space Center (JSC), Houston, Texas, responsible for developing strategies for joint research and technol-ogy projects. After a short while a man probably middle aged en-tered the auditorium. He was introduced to the audience as much awaited guest, followed by a list of his achievements; a very long list indeed! He then took over the mic, body language not appropri-ate for a professional speaker. Un-sure of how to begin, he humbly accepted the fact that he was having sweaty palms as he had never spoken in front of such a

large audience. A small silver lining in the panic situation was to see bright faces of students in front of him ready to hear with great fervour.

He began the seminar with a power point presentation about space science. With every passing slide and with the way he was ex-plaining, one could have seen the zeal he had for his work. By the end of the seminar, everybody

leaving the auditorium, students and teachers alike were awestruck of what they had experienced; a genius at work, explaining ardent-ly the mysteries of space.

From the big bang theory to origin of universe, from existing space technologies to challenges faced by engi-neers in this field. The end-ing ceremony of the semi-nar was further graced by presence of Mr Arpit Agar-wal, Director JECRC. What followed was an in-teraction round.

“When I think, what I should learn from today’s session, it was not the Rocket Science I was most im-pressed by, but something more important than that… insight for my conscience”.

banner on stage which reads "sky being the limit. Learn from my mistakes." On the other side there is

a table displaying a book "why me?" written by the speaker. Anxiety is something which makes

people talk more, and you could have in-ferred that from the murmurs

coming from every corner of the room.

A collective initiative was taken by the students and the management to make this happen. The outcome was ‘JECRC Sports Meet’, and was kick-started on Oc-tober 10, 2013. The month long bonanza witnessed 735 students participate. A basketball court and a volleyball court were specially constructed. A total of about 15 indoor and outdoor events were covered. Jun-iors and seniors came together to play; showcasing their team spirit, enthusiasm, perseverance and sportsmanship. All of them had their eyes set on the trophy, but only a few teams and individuals managed to achieve the number one spot.

While talking about sports, one can’t for-get the amazing performance by the JE-CRC team in the BITS Pilani inter-college sports meet. Sitesh Khatri even brought back the Best player trophy, thus making the JECRC dominance felt in the field of sports as well. The entire event was coordinated and choreographed by Aman Suwalka, Arpit Mishra and Priyansh Sharma. For the smooth functioning of the events and to keep the competitiveness in check, DR. Rajesh Sharma was given the responsibility of the Sports Officer. The enthusiastic crowd, the talent-ed players, the satisfaction of winning, the contentment even after losing; all made it a huge and a successful event.

They say all humans are born equal, but the same is not applicable to the group of humans specializing in sports. Some get cheers and some get booed by the same crowd but ahead of this fine line of suc-cess and failure, some are caught up in the dream of achieving and achieving without accepting failure. However all that really matters for a sport-sperson is 'living the game' Similar scenario was observed at this year's SAMAR-2013,which was organised by “UD-Tritons” at JECRC UDML College of Engi-neering. The two day eminent sports event was or-ganized on 27th and 28th September and was bol-stered by the presence of JECRC Foundation direc-tor, Mr. Arpit Agarwal and executive director JECRC UDML, Mr. S.L Agarwal, who delivered the inaugural address which emphasized on the importance of sports in building the society by teaching team work which was followed by National Anthem.

Starting with basketball, SAMAR covered all the famous sports and games; Basketball, Volleyball, Throw ball, Lawn Tennis, Squash and Shot-put are only a few to be named. As many as 21 teams and over 25 individual participants celebrated the event.Besides these events, various races, cross-college marathon and other events were also witnessed. An array of winning and learning streaks of the par-

ticipants kept the audience spell bound. The crowd to which responded with loud cheers and roars. At the end of the second day, the prize dis-tribution ceremony was organized. Pleasant evenings marked the end of days

with the promise of more thrill, more excitement, more events and a lot more fun for the next year. The event was another step taken by JECRC foundation towards its goal of nurturing talent, this time in Sports.

An Ode to Teachers

September 12, 2013 is sure to be written in tinsel words in the book called, “History of JECRC”. Charge for standing, and the event was a sell-out! Crowd’s reaction to his presence was not cheerful but ecstatic. He is the youth heartthrob Ranbir Kapoor, who flew to Jaipur only to promote his upcoming film.Ranbeer was welcomed to JECRC by Mr Arpit Agarwal, Director, JECRC Foundation. The crowd were in throes of frenzy by the time the music rose and the youth icon danced to some of the trendy numbers. Visiting only one other college in the city, he distrib-uted film’s audio CDs among the crowd, addressed students and motivated them to stay determined in whatever they do, and wished them luck.Though the event was not just a New York minute affair, girls couldn’t help but expect more from the star. And when he finally left, he had created an everlasting memoir within the minds.

Research has shown that less than 10% of MBA graduates are employable and 83% of engineering graduates are unfit for employment. About 50% of the universities have infrastructure deficiencies and nearly 40% of University faculty positions remain va-cant. In such an era there is a need for a system in place that focuses on bringing innovation, and tech-nology to the traditional higher educational institu-tions. SmartOn Learning is an initiative in that di-rection that has developed unique digital commerce learning program in a hybrid (e-learning & class-room) format. It is collaboration with the industrial partners, targeting to enable college graduates in becoming career ready for the sector. SmartOn has also tied up with reputed edu-cational institutions to launch its online college initia-tive. Starting with the Indian market, on September 21, 2014 a seminar regarding the same was held at JECRC conducted by Mr. Rakshit Kejriwal, Co-founder of ‘SMARTON’. Mr Kejriwal conducted the seminar

for the MBA students to enhance their academic and intellectual environment and even to provide quality information on how to develop or inculcate skills for personal growth by providing information & some tips to the students on the Do’s and Don’ts of interviews. Mr. Rakshit Kejriwal concluded the seminar by saying “In SmartOn we have a great team of global professionals with world-class backgrounds & expe-riences. We are bringing some of the best educa-tional and technological companies from across the globe to collaborate with us, so that our students acquire a competitive edge. Finally, we are very ex-cited to offer quality international education at the Indian cost.” SmartOn Learning is an amazing implementa-tion of an elaborately drawn out idea targeting ca-reers where there is a significant real-time demand, thus enabling the students to learn in an interactive way to acquire effective and relevant knowledge.

It was a journey through the magical lanes of soulful music as one of the living legends of Indian classical music; Pt. Ronu Majumdar enthralled the students of JECRC with his performance. A Grammy Award Nom-inee and recipient of Sahara Lifetime Achievement Award, Pt. Majumdar has performed with the likes of Zakir Hussain, Pt. Ravi Shankar and George Harri-son from the Beatles, and after taking the world by storm, on September 4, 2014 left the students of JECRC speechless with his captivating performance. Born in Varanasi on July 28, 1965, Ranen-dranath Majumdar, popularly known as Ronu was trained under his father, Dr. Bhanu Majumdar, and later learned vocal music with the late Pt. Laxman Prasad Jaipurwale at whose behest he reverted to the flute. Pandit Vijay Raghav Rao, a music scholar, groomed Ronu into a concert flautist. The bansuri flute was brought into the fold of Hindustani Classical music barely half a century

ago by Pt Pannalal Ghosh, before which it was con-sidered as a folk instrument. Ronu's speciality is the Shankh Bansuri, a 3-foot-long flute (0.91 m) of his own design, which adds an extra dimension at the lower scales. His Bansuri keeps juggling between eras. At one moment, it reminds you of the mythi-cal Ras Leela of Lord Krishna and his Gopis; the next instance could be a jam session with ace guitarist Ry Cooder and Lary Coryell. Today, Ronu Majumdar is among the most popular musicians of this instrument, and is espe-cially popular with the younger generation for his creative improvisations. While legendary guitarist Ry Cooder called him- “Dr. Feelgood of Indian Flute”, his Guru Pt. Vijay Raghav Rao remarked “ Ronu is mightier than most of the musicians in the country today”. Pt. Ronu Ma-jumdar is world renowned and us JECRCian were for-tunate enough to witness the legend perform live on stage!

Fixing what’s wrong with Education

The Tranquil of Classical MusicHallowed and pure, the sound of a flute resonates like a temple bell timeless as if traversing through space, serene as infinite bliss...


I LEAD INDIA‘I LEAD INDIA’, a Times Of India initiative is an alternative that goes beyond armchair criticism and aims at picking out the leaders from youth that would bring some positive reforms in the society. It urges you to stop pointing out fingers and blam-ing others and rather pushes you to stand up and be counted. It wants you ‘to be the change you want to see around’. It seeks to drive changes at the grass root level of the society by operating in 27 cities of country, presently.The Youth Brigade segment of the ‘I Lead India’ initiative is primarily a youth activist pro-gramme which seeks to mobi-lize the youth at the basic level to make them agents of the change. It will identify a few courageous young men and women who have the convic-

tion to be the change they seek around them. Selection of this

youth brigade of 5 members undergoes a rigorous and a competitive process. Various tasks were per-formed by the youth brigade in our city-• It performed a Nukadh Naa-tak (Street Play) in Bapu Bazar premises. It aimed at the frontal assault on problem of increasing differences between shopkeep-ers and customers.• It conducted a drawing com-petition at the Subodh Public

School.• It conducted various meet-ings and events to solve ‘en-croachment’ problems.JECRC also participated in vari-ous events of youth brigade and traversed the walled streets of Jaipur to perform the tasks of the organization.We feel immense pleasure to announce that one of our col-lege students, Ms. Akriti Agrawal from final year got selected in the final brigade team from our city and has brought laurels to our college. JECRC family is proud of you.It won’t be wrong to conclude that youth is the most powerful section of any nation and can bring remarkable reforms by which the society can tend to a better future.

JMAG got in touch with a truly inspiring alumnus of the college. This time, Chetan Jain, Electronics and Communications Engineer from JECRC batch of 2007. Chetan currently works as Derivative and Technical Analyst at Anand Rathi Financial services. We had a little chat with him where he opened up to talk about his life, JECRC and the series of events that made him realize his true passion.

Trivia: Batch of 2007 was a witness and a key con-tributer in the first Renaissance ever, Renaissance 2005.

Sir, you are currently working as a Derivative & Technical analyst. How the skills you acquired dur-ing your education in JECRC helped you in your ca-reer?Many people ask me one general question that “Why from Engineering to MBA-Finance?”Here comes the passion, I always love to play with data, maths, graphs, puzzles and during my 3rd year I realized that IT or Electronics was not my cup of tea although I had good command over the subject. At JECRC I was always supported by the director, fac-ulty and my friends who always used to appreciate me for my analytical skills. Eventually I met one Stal-wart from the Stock market at JECRC which brought lot of interest into this field as here research means playing with data, charts and quantitative analysis. Then I decided to do MBA finance which was the core requirement to enter into Financial markets as research analyst.

Where do you find JECRCians presently in this modern and competitive world? What could be done to improve it?

No doubt the world is evolving at a fast pace and so are the education levels. The best part is that to get all the insights in terms of latest happening, technol-ogy and industry development which I feel all JECR-Cians are getting most of it. Here students do not hesitate in coming up with any sort of creative idea as management and faculties are always open for it. One thing I like most is that management especially Arpit sir has created such an excellent environment at JECRC that students are nurturing their talent in every field along with studies. More interaction with industry and companies may give further boosts for future prospects.

Tell us more about yourself. Education, back-ground, career, life etc.I belong to a small town named Bhawani mandi, Dist.-Jhalawar and being good in academics my family sent me to Kota for further studies. From there I

‘Failure is the stepping stone to success.’ Have you ever faced it in your life? How one could cope with it and rejections in life?The motivated truth of my life which become the stepping stone for my success, here I would like to share that I also prepared for IIT-JEE where every science graduate dream to go but unfortu-nately I couldn’t make it as I got All India Mains rank 6147(those time around 4000 seats were allocated) after my second attempt post 12th. But I dint lose any hope as this preparation gave me lot of learn-ing like time management, statistical analysis, hard work, motivation and last but not least the great confidence which is helping me in every phase of my life.

How do you spend your leisure time? What are your hobbies and interests?My most of the time goes into the market (Stock Market) as my hobby is to play with data, charts so even in free time I keep on analyzing charts. Howev-er my other hobbies include watching TV specially

news channels, eating exotic food and hanging around with friends/family.

What should a student do according to you to improve or groom his/her personality during these four years for a successful professional career?Be what you are and do that which makes you happy both in personal as well as professional life. Never think that what people will think about you and you have to believe that student sitting near to you is also thinking the same. Everyone is made for some specific work and trust this is the biggest truth which will give you an extra ordinary confi-dence while doing any work which you like from your heart.

Is there anything else that you would like to talk about or share with us?I would like to contribute my sincere thanks to Arpit Sir who always treated me as younger brother and always motivated with his kind behavior. Also thanks for giving me this opportunity to share my feelings for JECRC. Proud to be a JECRCian, which gave me a strong base for my professional career and lots of Friends for my personal life. I wish every member of JECRC family a lot of success for their future endeavors and I would be very happy if I can help anyone from this family if possible, in any way.

F a c u lt y I n t e r v i e w

Sir, tell us about your experience in JECRC till now.I have been a member of the JECRC foundation family since the past 9 years. During these years, I have seen tremendous growth, both of the insti-tution and the students. I have also learned a lot, professionally.

Sir, tell us about the teaching methods you adopt and what changes you would like to implement in future?The concept of MOOC i.e Massive Open Online Courseware is very popular these days and I also use it in my teaching. In the coming semester, I am planning to utilize the concept of virtual labs which is an initiative under the National Mission on Educa-tion through ICT. Additionally, I would also be avail-ing the online live courses under NPTEL, which is a joint initiative of the IITs and IISc.

What should a student do according to you to improve or groom up his/her personality during these four years?During these 4 years of education, the student should take active part in extra curricular activities in order for personality development. The student should also converse in English among his peers, take part in group discussions and should develop soft-skills.

Sir, there has been a large decrement in place-ments this time. What is the reason for this accord-ing to you?As far as placements are concerned, there is a downward trend in the market since the past 2 years. However, there is and will never be any dearth of jobs for the skilled professionals. There is a huge shortage of skilled manpower in the indus-tries and the industry people also want to fill the gap by recruiting technically good students. So, if a student possesses good technical knowledge, in addition to the required soft skills one should ac-quire. One will never ever have to worry about the placements and they will definitely still get placed in good companies.

What changes you have observed in past few years in college with regards to the standard of teaching?Technology is advancing at an exponential rate and the teaching methodologies also take full advan-tage of the same. Students are now getting their assignments right into their smartphones. There is also less use of paper as assignments are now submitted electronically.

What is your vision for JECRC students in forth-coming years?Our vision is to produce professionals who are rich in technical knowledge and soft-skills so that they can give their contribution for the growth of them-selves, their family and the country.

Those days of college we'll never forget,nasty actions and no regret!

Teamwork in assignments and GDs in tests,thus we were the toppers of all the rest!

Those proxies of attendance and bunks for movies,had our ears pulled next days in laboratories!

Results made our hearts to pray,O God! Please handle everything and make our day!

Those college hours were like a free run,minutes of studies and hours of fun!We've not seen a Heaven on Earth!

but these things made our college, 'Our Heaven on Earth'!

When I came to JECRC, like most kids I was preoc-cupied with thoughts about how I didn't get into some IIT or cursed my luck and thought that maybe Gods are too angry with me. I was too reluctant to socialize or even be part of any kind of fun. Plus, the transition from school to college fills some kids with a kind of fear and anxiety anyway. I would la-ment everyday, talk to my family and friends about how things are so wrong with my life and the fact that almost all of my friends made it to different highly reputed Institutions and I didn't, made it all more miserable. I had lost interest in studies and would just attend classes and go back home as

soon as I can. The people I already knew soon got tired of my lack of interest in interaction with them and various activities they planned.

One day, I found a girl I knew crying. I went to her and asked what was wrong. When she shared her problem I realized it was entirely like mine. We began discussing how bad it feels and just to cheer her up, I told her that maybe we should accept

that whatever happens… happens for good, even though I wasn't adhering to the advice myself.

I started spending more time with her. We planned to cover up for the loss done to studies. I gradu-ally started interacting with more people, spending time with my newly formed friends, thus, spend-ing time thinking things are wrong, less frequently. With Teacher’s day approaching, the first year students planned an event. My former friend was asked to prepare the introductory speech. While I sat beside her, she asked for my suggestions and hence, I ended up involving myself in the event. With the speech being praised, I gained a little bit of confidence and finally decided to include myself in more activities and clubs. When the recruitment began, I was pretty psyched and chose to join the clubs I could, being a day scholar.

So, here I’m now. The thought of not being some-where else has disappeared, I've made some really good friends and feel that somehow, I've ended up being at a better place than what I wished for.

We need to keep our arms wide open and embrace every opportunity that comes our way… opportu-nity to learn, to grow, to find joy, to discover our-selves, to be responsible and to turn better each day. In every aspect now, I’m a part of this college and it has become an irrevocable part of me.
