Sahyadri College of Engineering & Management Launches Competitive Examination Club in ECE Department…
Mangaluru: Dept. of Electronics & Communication Engineering (ECE) at Sahyadri College of Engineering & Management announced the launch of its new Competitive Examination Club, aimed at guiding students toward success in competitive exams and prestigious careers.
The idea for this initiative emerged when Dr. Anush Bekal, Head of the ECE Department, was inspired by a LinkedIn post from Ms. Reshma Bhagat, who achieved a remarkable all-India rank in the GATE exam for ECE in 2022, eventually earning a place at IIT Kharagpur. Her story of overcoming challenges resonated deeply with Dr. Bekal, leading to a conversation about the need for better exposure to competitive exams for students in tier 2 cities like Mangaluru.
Ms. Bhagat, alongside her former classmate and fellow IIT Kharagpur alumnus, Mr. Prabhat Kumar, agreed to support the initiative. Within weeks, both were welcomed at the college as chief guests for Abhyudaya 2024, where they shared valuable insights with second- and third-year students. Their sessions covered strategies for competitive exam preparation, motivations for pursuing higher education at IITs, NITs, and IIITs, and pathways into esteemed public sector roles like IAS, IPS, and IES.
With the formal launch of the Competitive Examination Club, Mr. Prabhat and Ms. Bhagat have committed to mentoring ECE students, offering regular online guidance, mock test monitoring, and personalized preparation strategies. Their industry experience will provide students with a strong foundation as they prepare for challenging exams and promising careers in academia and public service.
This club, born from a chance encounter, now stands as a dedicated resource to foster ambition and success among aspiring candidates at Sahyadri College.
