Only harassment
Nov 18, 2006 07:17 PM 9534 Views

I am a second year student . let me tell you this college has some horrible teachers and


administrative officials. my first year was a torture with interacting with people like


satinder and khan. satinder a visiting professor should be thrown away from the colleges


of mumbai and india. she is only fit for the job of critic. a worst administration clerks


should be pelted with stones and should be beaten brutually. singh first year incharge is


a dummy .my experiences in the college after 3 semesters are horrible and pathetic.


only thing good in this college is maths teaching. mr s dasari is the best teacher in the


whole college. he makes studies interesting and he deserves to be given appreciation.


khan is a heartless creature and is only interested in giving poor termwork to students.


peons should be hammered for bad behaviour and also the lab attendents should


be shown the door. why oldies are brought as professors from BARC just because


they are cheap. here teachers make us wait for hours to get our work done.


mr umarshi chadwa and his entire management should take serious note of their


staff behaviour.fools dont understand anything.office bearers dont even give us


stationary asking us to move here and there like stray dogs. bhatt is another foolish chap


who likes only girls and hates boys.


clerks should made to stand in front along with registrar and apologise for bad


behaviour to students. stupid college mad people like satinder ,singh,khan, bhatt, menon


mahendra shah is a puppet who is only defending his staff.


money oriented organisation with no manners and decency.


let us hope that the management looks into this along with anchorwala.


The Living Hell, it was
Apr 24, 2006 12:30 PM 10616 Views

I have passed out in 97 and at that time this college was a hell for us. Bairi and Kotak were at the peak of torturing the students. We have updated our last semester project reports for more than 5-6 times just because either Bairi’s mood was not good or he didn’t understand anything about the subject. Bairi is a psycho, who I think was sacked from BARC for his psycho attitude. SAKEC was the only place to recruit all psychos.


Kotak was never the less than Bairi when it comes to torturing. On submission day he used to disappear from college. By 5pm when students started leaving college thinking Kotak won’t turn up now, he used to come and take the submissions. Moreover he used to declare that he is not going to take submissions of the rest of the guys who have left. Then from next day we used to run after him everywhere pleading him to take our submission. Finally he would take them after 1 week of pleading.


Most of the Professors were short tempered and had the habit of throwing journals on the floor.


At that time there was only 1 company i.e. Tata Infotech, who used to recruit only 10-14 guys. There was no other company that recruited from SAKEC. Menon was the person who was supposed to get more companies but he had no time other than inducing discipline in the students. He used to think that he is still in military training school.


Also the canteen was bad and you needed guts to try something from the canteen. That canteen was a shady place in the adjacent building (that’s given to SAKEC diploma guys) which was never cleaned. We spent our FE, SE and TE in that building. When we were in FE, the classrooms and drawing rooms were on the terrace with asbestos roof. Imagine spending 1 complete year under those asbestos sheets.


The computer lab was never given to students for project work. At that time very few students had a PC at home and we expected the college to allow students to work in the lab for their project work.


I don’t care about sports and cultural event. I just wanted professors who could teach good and not torture the students just to get off their own frustration.


You say that SAKEC students are recruited by top companies. Any idea if Infosys has recruited from SAKEC? If not, then why don't they?


I support tech.keeda and there might be a lot of students who suffered like him but no one wants to recollect bad memories and write about it.


I’m happy if the college has changed as mentioned by ‘the_truth’ and ‘date_amol’. Hope these guys are working in either Wipro, TCS and Amdocs in Robotics or Image processing or Event Management and are still getting lessons from Bairi, Kotak and Menon.

Nothing less than a Jail
Apr 24, 2006 11:22 AM 11260 Views

I completely agree with tech_keeda. This college really has nothing worth to vouch for. I am an alumni of this college, and I can say that the experience wasnt really good. As far as date_amol speaks in favour of this college, that would be because maybe he never got a chance to face the real underlying truth. Frankly speaking, SAKEC is no less than a jail. Prof Bairi and Prof Kotak are the biggest sadists I could ahve ever seen in my life. Prof Kotak is the one who runs the management (dunno if he is still there), and he takes full advantage of that!!! He used to ''teach'' a subject called as Engineering Materials and Components, EMC for short. He has LEAST understanding of the subject, knows actually NOTHING and gets immense sadistic pleasure by torturing students and blackmailing them with dire consequences. He is at very good terms with Prof Bairi...so now we know from where both got these ''torture-and-enjoy'' skills...from each other!! Of course!!


In this college, you get blamed for speaking the correct thing. You are not allowed to take print outs of practical c/c++ programs during the semesters. And in the end of the semester, during submissions, you are thrown out of the lab, saying that late bulk print outs are not allowed. And if one fights for this, you are taken to the HOD of the dept, here Prof Bairi, where you get a good firing not only by him, but also unnecessarily by the one and the only Mrs Uma Rao. This is personal experience. Mrs Uma Rao might have been a great lecturer, but as a human being, she falls in the same category as prof Bairi. She never knew the reason behind all that happened with me then, she was a third person, but yet she not only insulted me, but also my parents. Yes I agree she has never had any biased opinions about any student, but I strongly believe that she really needs to interpret a particular situation in a much more neutral manner.


But there are some really good lecturers in the college, whom prof Bairi just cannot tolerate, as they dont nod there heads in agreement for Prof Bairi. Mrs Shikha Srivastav, Mrs Rachna Shah, Mr M B Shah (who is currently the Principal of SAKEC) are people who guide their students towards their goal. I can vouch for that!!!


No extra curricular activities......restrictions for every little thing, waiting hours together to get just one signature on the project synopsys, very very bad professors, no co-operation of the staff with the students, little knowledge of what they teach...arent these reason enough to not take an admission in this college? You are actually supposed to show your ID card at the gate before entering the college premises, and if you have forgotten to get it with you, you arent allowed inside, you are taken to the officical, where you to give a very valid reason as to why you did not get your ID card. Now, isnt that foolish!! They dont treat you like adults. They treat you like school going kids. The placements are just OK. I mean, companies like Wipro, I-flex, Syntel are those counted ones who come for placement. All others are not even worth joining. The college also allows CALL CENTERS for placement!!! Can you believe that??!!! I made a mistake, and I would warn all others who are considering an admission in this college, to not follow my foot steps. Ultimately its your call......but I would NOT recommend this college to anybody.

A LEARNING EXPEREINCE
Apr 20, 2006 04:28 AM 8479 Views

This college stands out amdist the industrious locality of Deonar...infact is the only piece of architecture in that area worth giving another look...


The college has fewer number of students per class in comaparison to many other colleges which overflow with students where many students never even come in contact with each other during their four years of engineering.


This college has lots to offer if a student is willing to learn and grasp even the slightest opportunities it gives. True that a student will have to study and work and struggle for his place under the toughest conditions but at the end the sense of achievement which the student gets both academically and socially makes him/her strong enough to face the real world.


The professors of this college do earn respect by their distinct styles of teaching. It again boils down to the same point the professor will take pains if the student is ready to learn. it is a known fact that how ever good the professor is the student will invest in private tutions and classes and hence pay less or no attention in class thus resulting in poor response from the professors. The professor will take interest if the student show interests and exhbit the willingness to learn..by simpling pin pointing that the professors cannot speak english properly does not mean that he/she lacks knowledge in the subject which he /she is teaching.


One quality which this college did preserve while I was there was discipline.Complusion on attendance of classes and strcit rules and regulations in the college premises with regards to student conduct were some of the disciplinary measures which the college pursued.


The college has consistenly churned out good results from the past few years and will continue to do so if the students which go to this college will have the desire to do well in life.A good indication of results in genrally reflected by the number of placements a college has. Statsitics will show that a good amount of the students get placed in good companies like wipro, amdocs,syntel,patni computers etc etc...


A word of advice to the new students who plan to enroll in this college... U will have to make your own oppourtunities and struggle for ur survival for the first two years both academically and socially . When u achieve this The next two years will ensure bliss and sucess for you.


True Face Of Shah And Anchor
Apr 19, 2006 09:46 PM 9099 Views

Hi all,


I read whatever tech.keeda has written about Shah and Anchor.I can understand that there has been something wrong with him during his college days,but my friend every college has the same problems.You cannot find a perfect college,you are supposed to make it.I am a recent pass out from the college and things have changed a lot from good to gr8.


I wont say that what ever you said about the college is wrong.I totally agree with what you have said about the clerks.But Prof. Bairi is actually a gr8 guy.In tech.keeda's post he wrote that Mr. Bairi doesnt know anything about IT and Computers.That is wrong!!!!!.He knows almost everything in software and he is a really a brilliant person in the fields of Image Processing and Robotics.This is what I discovered during my project work.He is a very disciplined guy , I think this is the quality which we wouldn't like in our teachers ;).The only thing he hates is delay in work.He wants punctuality.He cares a lot about his students,trust me a lot !!!!!.I agree that he sometimes makes mistake in few of the lessons but its human to make mistakes.Those are really small mistakes and should be overlooked.Our batch is blessed that we had a HOD like Mr. Bairi.One more thing which tech.keeda wrote was about freshers teaching us subjects which they dont know.This used to happen before but thankx to Prof. Bairi every teacher that comes to teach are really helpful.They actually have in depth knowledge of the subjects and are kind enough to sort out your problems.


Let me list the good side of the college:




  1. The college is strict about timings.




  2. The college has excellent teachers.They are very friendly.




  3. The college library is really gr8.You will get any kind of software,electronics and civil engineering related books.




  4. The college has an e-library.




  5. The college has gr8 labs.One of the very colleges who has a real SCARA robot.The college has labs specially meant for wireless programming.




  6. Every class room has a projector which is meant for presentations.We had project for every subject so that really helped us learn those subjects.And presentations actually helped to develop our communication skills.




  7. The canteen is gr8.The only thing is this that you are not supposed to write assignments in the canteen which is fair enough.




  8. The college has an annual fest comprised of both Technical,Cultural and sports.I loved the technical fest of my college then any other college's tech fest.We have robotics competition,programming contest,air shows,water rocket shows.We have too much of football activities in our college.So no issues with sports.






These fest activities are conducted under the guidance of Prof. Kotak.Thankx to this guy we have learned Event Management.Rest of the stuffs which tech.keeda wrote about him, actually I am not aware of that.




  1. Campus interviews are gr8.Companies like Wipro,L&T,TCS,AMDOCS,MBT,Syntel etc etc......




  2. Almost 70% of the students from every department gets above 60% (including all semesters).






.


.


.


.


.


etc. There are so many gr8 thing about this college.And one more thing we have Alumni.


This college is gr8 with few cons(which every college has) and I recommend you to join it.And one more thing again for tech.keeda ,friend the college has changed.

Hey dude you missed out on our pretty sirs Mr. IK and the most famous SUNNY DEOL kind of.they are the one with always poking their noses in between the students knowledge.they are the new S.O.B. of the so called college.also the two stupid females in the department where we get the forms and the train pass.both are bitches who will definitely serve in hell for the hell of a job they dont even bother for.plus sirs like Mr. (N.N.) ,Mr. Mathews, Mr. Khedkar who are lost in their own world while teaching and they also like Mr. Hairi(oops Bairi) is really a SOB and he is not a HOD for Electronis Branch.thank god the management came to know about his lack of helpfulness and idiotic behavior.its good everyone should know about these assholes working in a place like shah and anchor.just give the students one day liberty and they will pay a hell out of that.they willl regret the day they joined an institution where they tortured the students to the edge.


MY sincere Hats off to the beloved MADAM CHAMPA for the kind of generosity she shows towards the students.she is awesome and should be made the HOD of electronics branch atleast.

Shah and Anchor Kutchhi Engineering College Review

Shah and Anchor Kutchhi Engineering College - An Ex-student's Review


My personal experience with this college:


Teaching Staff: The staff of college is on the whole, mediocre. There are a few good staff members, namely Mrs. Uma Rao and Mrs. Hegde whom the students respect for their flare in teaching and extensive knowledge and expertise in their fields of teaching. The rest of the staff ranges from mediocre to not good. The unfortunate tendency of picking up fresh engineering graduates who did not get picked up by the Industry (read Industry rejects) is the rule here for new recruitments. The advantage of this (for the management) is that they can pay them really paltry sums and fire them the moment they ask for a raise - there are always more. So the college management ends up saving money, keeps the college running and of course, the students suffer very dearly, since the rejects that they get as teachers nither know anything about their subject matter nor can deliver a single straight sentence in the medium of instruction (English). Not that the management cares.


The Management: The college's management is composed of mostly uneducated (yeah illiterate)or half-educated businessmen and women who do not take much interest in the way the college is run - as long as it keeps running and the money keeps flowing.


The management has hired a man called B.R. Bairi, who is an ex-employee of the Bhaba Atomic Research center (https://barc.ernet.in/) and is handling three departments namely Information Technology, Computer Engineering and Electronics Engineering. Mr. Bairi had specialized in Robotics some years ago and is basically a control systems man with no knowledge whatsoever of Information Technology or Software. Yet he teaches final year (BE) Computers and IT students the subject Software Engineering and handles their final year projects. To understand these final year projects one requires a sound background in Computer and Information sciences - something which Mr. Bairi self-admittedly entirely lacks. When asked, pat comes the reply - the college runs for the benifit of the Management and not that of the students. So our final year projects, which were involved a high deal of software complexity were judged by a man who cannot tell the difference between an ER diagram and a flowchart - a seriously unfortunate thing, especially considering the hard work that some of us put into it. The worst part is that this man didn't even let that staff deal with our project work who were trained in software much better than him and who were eager to take it up. We and the faculty members also got severely insulted over trying to show our software and database schemas to those staff members who had the ability to understand what was being done. Mr. Bairi is well known and infamous among students and staff members alike for his inexpertise and unacceptibly rude mannerisms. Mr. Bairi's style of taking lectures is somewnat like this: he comes into class, then exits and re-enters several times for reasons best known to him. Then he takes up a book from someone and faces a class of 70 students. He then holds up the books and starts blabbering something - no one actually knows wnat - and we were supposed to follow the diagrams and illustrations in a book from way across a class crammed with 70 people. To add insult to injury, Mr. Bairi has a great way discouraging students - if a student walks up to the man with something good which he/she has thought of, the student is shooed away and told that he/she is 'mediocre' and will always remain 'mediocre' - Bairi's favorite word. We later figured that Bairi himself understands very little or nothing of what he's been shown and that could be a reason for such behaviour. But this really has a horrible effect on the student's mind - getting blown away for showing enthusiasm and interest in your field of studies isn't exactly a good feedback. There have been times when project reports - good reports - have been thrown out just because he's had a bad day. Then there've been days when we've waited till 7:30 in the evening just so that Bairi would bring out his royal behind and sign our project synopsis. In fact, we waited the whole day outside Bairi's office to get our project's request letter signed so that we could go and submit it at the company where were offered to do our final year project. After making us wait the whole day, he told us that we were incapable 'mediocre' brats and were not capable of completing the project and not to 'waste his time'. We had to come back the next day again just to get the request letter signed signature. When the Project Manager from the company which had selected us for the project offered to speak to Bairi, he growled at us telling us that the PM was nobody to tell him what to do! Sounds unbelievable? its not!


Clerical staff: The clerical staff at this college is like that in any other - comes at 10, leaves by 5 and doesn't know the meaning of 'work' in general. But two women staff in particular are rude to the extent that it hurts. These clerical staff are the most frustrating experience in the college and the worst thing is that these two are those clerks with whom students have to interact the most. Here's a short description:




  • Hot tempered




  • Ill natured




  • Rude (to the extent permissible by law)




  • Un cooperative






The mismanagement can be seen most acutely during the exam form filling. This is the time when all the students fill up their exam forms. The queues are serpentine and long. It takes from anywhere between 2 to 5 hours for a student just to fill up the exam form. There is no system of collecting exam forms from the classrooms like some good colleges have. The forms are issued on at a couple of day's notice and only a day or two are given for the form filling. After the given date a fine of Rs. 100 is imposed. The students who have ATKTs and who work and give these KT exams have a great deal of trouble with this arrangement. And the current students are expected to attend lectures while trying to fill their forms as well.


Library: The college has an extensive library with quite a few copies of required books. But the timings are such that the students get only 45 minutes to issue/return copies. The timings of library are the same as that of the college and bunking a lecture for accessing the library is not allowed. So this, like all the other things is also mismanaged.


Computer labs: The students are allowed to use the computer lab only during practicals - something which is way less of what is required to get a good exposure to software programming and systems.


Sports: The management is not interested in making anything but money. Same story regarding sports activities. A neutered version of a playground the is ;beside the college doubles up as the playground for sports events which are held for one week every year. Indoor facilities aren't very impressive either.


Website: This is a bad joke - https://shahandanchor.com/sakechome/index.htm - three words for this one: nothing here works.


Other staff: Staff is ok except for one man: VC Kotak. There is inside news that this man had tried to get fresh with twin girl students in Computer Engineering class which graduated in the year 2003. This shameless man unfortunately happens the son in law of the ex-principal late Mr. Maneck. There is no intention to hurt the memories of Mr. Maneck, an elderly respectable man. Did they say that once relations become the basis for recruitment, you get garbage in the works.


There are a million things that I want to say but time is a luxury right now.


So join this frevolously decorated premises which calls itself a college at your own risk.
