There is only one nature — the division<br />

into science and engineering is a human<br />

imposition, not a natural one. Indeed, the<br />

division is a human failure; it reflects our<br />

limited capacity to comprehend the whole.<br />

—Sir William Cecil Dampier<br />

It gives me immense pleasure in welcoming you on behalf of the Trust, <strong>Supreme</strong> <strong>Knowledge</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong> (SKF) to<br />

<strong>Supreme</strong> <strong>Knowledge</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong> Group of Institutions (<strong>SKFGI</strong>) comprising of two Institutes: Sir J. C. Bose School of<br />

Engineering and Dr. P. C. Mahalanabish School of Management.<br />

We are committed to executing all the programmes recommended by our Education Division and approved by our<br />

Governing Body. And we are indeed fortunate to have with us Professor B. N. Biswas, a renowned educationist and<br />

scientist, and above all a great visionary, who has been guiding us assiduously round the clock as the Chairman of<br />

this Division.<br />

I am happy that within a short span of four years of its inception, our Institute has grown into an excellent centre<br />

for providing not only undergraduate education in engineering, leading to B. Tech degree in six disciplines (Civil,<br />

Mechanical, Electronics & Communication, Electrical, Computer Science, and Applied Electronics & Instrumentation)<br />

but also postgraduate education in Engineering leading to M. Tech degree in two disciplines (Electronics & Communication<br />

Engineering and Electrical Engineering) as well as in Management Science leading to the degree of MBA. All these<br />

programmes are approved by All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) and are affiliated to West Bengal<br />

University of Technology (WBUT). I am also delighted to see that <strong>SKFGI</strong> is growing up as a centre of excellence in<br />

carrying out doctoral and sponsored research programmes as well. These programmes have become enriched by<br />

collaboration with several Institutions in the country such as CSIR and DRDO laboratories and premier academic<br />

Institutions in the country and abroad such as IIT-Kharagpur, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology and Seoul National<br />

University.<br />

We are amongst the few selected self-financed academic Institutions in the country, that has for the purpose of jointly<br />

executing academic and R&D programmes, signed the memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Central Electronics<br />

Engineering Institute (CEERI), Pilani (CSIR) and NB Institute for Rural Technology, Kolkata. Our Corporate Relation<br />

Affairs division has proudly established MoUs with esteemed premier Organisations for Training and Placement.<br />

Further, we are proud that we have created in our Campus five Centres for creative R&D/knowledge expansion/<br />

entrepreneurship development: (i) Sir J. C. Bose Creativity Centre, (ii) Centre for Renewable and Non-Conventional<br />

Energy Studies and Research, (iii) IBM Systems Centre of Excellence, (iv) Finite-Element Analysis and Design Centre<br />

and (v) Entrepreneurship Development Cell.<br />

<strong>Prospectus</strong> 2013 | 05


I also take this opportunity to applaud Corporate Relation Affairs Division of <strong>SKFGI</strong> which has brought us very<br />

encouraging results in Training and Placement of our students. I am sure the present <strong>Prospectus</strong> will highlight the<br />

success story of this division while projecting the other facets of <strong>SKFGI</strong>. Special credit goes to them for their<br />

remarkable success in placing 2013 pass-out students of <strong>SKFGI</strong> including the first batch of B. Tech students!<br />

I am satisfied that we have maintained our tradition of hosting, in association with a CSIR laboratory, namely, CEERI,<br />

Pilani and with the support of the other sponsors including DRDO, the E2NC series of Conference on “Engineering<br />

Education in the New Century” thereby giving an opportunity to our students to be acquainted with the global<br />

engineering scenario and to interact with the experts of International repute within our premises. A unique feature<br />

of such a national or International conference is that as part of the conference events we also organize the College<br />

Students’ Paper Contest and the School Students’ Quiz and Oral Presentation Contest. In parallel and as preconference<br />

event, our students show their professional skill and capability by organizing workshops in areas of<br />

topical interest such as robotics; they also host in our Campus inter-Institutional technology exhibition and competition:<br />

Tech-Craze. You are going to get more information about both E2NC and TechCraze later in this part of the prospectus.<br />

Hats off to as many as a dozen of undergraduate students of <strong>SKFGI</strong> who have earned the distinction of co-authoring<br />

a very large number of research papers during the ‘present academic session’ with their teacher guides in peerreviewed<br />

journals of International repute! I hope that their papers would be listed in this prospectus. Further, I am<br />

happy that not only the students and teachers of <strong>SKFGI</strong> but also those of neighbouring Institutions have used the<br />

facilities of <strong>SKFGI</strong> and guidance of our senior teachers in their pursuit for higher studies and research.<br />

Furthermore, we are proud to offer our students the great opportunity of receiving tutelage from the teachers par<br />

excellence of <strong>SKFGI</strong>. In the recent past, our distinguished teachers have earned laurels not only for themselves but<br />

also for <strong>SKFGI</strong> by their national and International recognitions presented separately in this <strong>Prospectus</strong>. It is indeed<br />

satisfying to note from this account that the teachers of <strong>SKFGI</strong> are motivating our students to attain the desired<br />

excellence by their own achievements.<br />

The education policy of our country has recently given much stress on research along with teaching. I believe that<br />

the research activities of our teachers would strengthen their teaching competence and confidence. In fact, I agree<br />

to the following remark of Edward M. Purcell in American Journal of Physics [Vol. 65, (1997), 689]: “Every so often,<br />

it still happens that someone tells me that there is an irreconcilable conflict between teaching and research, that<br />

dedicated teachers do not do research because it takes away time that they could be spending on their teaching,<br />

or that serious research physicists cannot afford to devote a significant amount of time and effort to teaching. As<br />

a generalization, this has always struck me as ludicrous.” And, therefore, generalizing the spirit of the forgoing<br />

remark, I, on behalf of all the members of the Trust, would like to extend our support to the teachers in their research<br />

endeavour believing that teaching and research are the two sides of the same coin. More importantly, let our students<br />

benefit from the teaching and research experiences of their mentors and pass out from <strong>SKFGI</strong> as the most successful<br />

and valuable graduates of the country!<br />

I hope by going through the pages of this <strong>Prospectus</strong> you will have the information about <strong>SKFGI</strong> and its two Institutes<br />

for engineering and management science, respectively. However, I welcome you to visit the <strong>SKFGI</strong> campus with a<br />

view to experiencing personally the infrastructure and facilities that we have created for the education of our<br />

engineering and management science students catering to the requirement of our country.<br />

I assure you that we would not leave any stone unturned to make the education of our students at <strong>SKFGI</strong> fruitful,<br />

creative, result-oriented and enjoyable. And while taking the responsibility of imparting quality education to our<br />

students, I am committed to complying with the Jewish proverb: “I ask not for a lighter burden, but for broader<br />

shoulders!”<br />

Chairman, <strong>Supreme</strong> <strong>Knowledge</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong> (Trust)<br />

Welcome from the Desk of the Chairman,<br />

Education Division, <strong>Supreme</strong> <strong>Knowledge</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong> Group of Institutions<br />

Sabare Kari Awabhan<br />

Beginning around 6000 BC in India and around 2500 BC in Egypt, engineers have been found to possess one<br />

very important attribute in common unusual capability to discover the truth for the benefit of society. In India,<br />

engineering culture started with the growth of civilisation in Mehergarh and Mo hen-jo-daro. In Egypt, it started<br />

with the creation of the Step Pyramid out of the needs of society in 2550 BC by the Egyptian architect Imhotep,<br />

worshipped as the patron of architects and doctors, while, in Greece, he was identified with the God Asclepius.<br />

However, the initiation of formal engineering training goes back to 1747 when ‘Ecole dees Ponts et Chauseess’<br />

was founded in Paris. Later, Ecole Poletechnique was established by Napoleon in 1794. In France, engineering<br />

practice was recognized as a noble profession producing<br />

future statesman and leaders of the society. Thus, “…..<br />

a nation's competitiveness depends, in part, on the skills<br />

of tomorrow's engineers” (from Recent Study Report<br />

in USA).<br />

We are changing and will never be the same again and<br />

so also engineering education, which is tightly woven<br />

to the fabric of the society. In such a changing<br />

environment, the old concept of distance, time and<br />

location is fast losing its traditional meaning, and<br />

geographical, political and cultural boundaries are<br />

subliming fast. In the present era, an engineer trained<br />

in one country works in another with different cultures<br />

where he or she needs to handle products, incorporating<br />

components from multiple science and engineering<br />

disciplines. This clearly signifies that engineering<br />

education and engineering practice are no more the<br />

same announcing the demise of “one-size-fits-allconcept”<br />

of engineering curriculum. An obvious indication<br />

is the importance of innovative teaching, the habit of<br />

learning beyond syllabus in an environment soaked with<br />

the fragrance of classroom teaching and industry<br />

requirement and mastering of communication skills that<br />

cross disciplines, cultures and languages.<br />

<strong>Prospectus</strong> 2013 | 07


This is conceptually depicted in the adjoining picture that I conceived: “Engineering Tree in Blossom” with<br />

flowers of requirements and unwanted and undesired ills are nipped in the bud. More importantly, the picture<br />

shows how <strong>SKFGI</strong> is committed to nourishing this Engineering Tree!<br />

Let us not forget that, though we have missed the Industrial Revolution and perhaps are still unable to utilize<br />

the full benefit of Information and <strong>Knowledge</strong> Revolution because of our late participation, we should not miss<br />

the Technical Education (Engineering and Management) Revolution which began during the end of the 20th<br />

century and is sweeping across the globe.<br />

It is heartening to see that <strong>SKFGI</strong> is engaged in educating their students in tune with the needs of the swinging<br />

21st century. This is happening as we are promoting a symbiosis between undergraduate and postgraduate<br />

education as has been the usual practice in USA, UK, Japan, France and Germany, at least in the leading<br />

Institutions of these countries. The high quality faculty and creative activity of the postgraduate division would<br />

enrich the quality of undergraduate teaching and build proper academic attitudes among the undergraduate<br />

students. Incidentally, we are executing MBA and M. Tech programmes along with undergraduate programmes<br />

in engineering. This is an urgent need of the present century. Moreover, in a technical academia, it is also<br />

important to create a culture of job hunting. This will happen if we can synergize Engineering and Management<br />

Education, because the former develops the technology for the benefit of the society and the latter takes it<br />

to the society. All this is depicted pictorially in the adjoining figure.<br />

Wading through the following pages of this <strong>Prospectus</strong>, I suppose, will give you a glimpse of our activities in<br />

support of what I narrated above. However, I would welcome your personal visit to our campus for auditing<br />

and enjoying the feast of activities that we are carrying out here at <strong>SKFGI</strong>.<br />

Campus Discipline<br />

The students feel a very sacred atmosphere in the Campus. They feel motivated to advance in their career<br />

when they find themselves in a disciplined campus. The law and order in the locality around the campus<br />

is also very peaceful. Being adjacent to Mankundu Railway Station, <strong>SKFGI</strong> provides an added advantage<br />

for the commuting day-scholars, teachers, and other employees of the Institute. Further, it is compulsory<br />

not only for all students but also for teachers and other employees of the Institute to remain present in<br />

the campus during the Institute hours; none of them are permitted to leave the campus during these hours<br />

without a valid permission from the authority, which has to be based on the applications in the prescribed<br />

format duly endorsed by the concerned heads of departments/directors/ deans.<br />

Ragging in any form inside or outside the campus or in the halls of residence or hostels is strictly prohibited.<br />

The involvement or indulgence in such activity is considered as an act of indiscipline as per West Bengal<br />

Government Anti-Ragging Act and will lead to the expulsion of the involved students from the Institute.<br />

All prohibitory measures are taken as per the norms of the <strong>Supreme</strong> Court (vide Writ Petition No. C656/1998).<br />

The Anti-Ragging Squad of the Institute shall be in constant vigil to eliminate ragging and redress any<br />

complaint in this regard, expeditiously. Moreover, smoking, consuming alcohol, taking ‘drugs’, chewing pan,<br />

tambaku, zarda, etc. in the Institute Campus are strictly prohibited.<br />

Security and Proctorial Board<br />

The region in which the Institute is situated is reportedly very peaceful and naturally it enjoys a much<br />

secured environment and as such it becomes rather easy for the Institute Administration to provide security<br />

to students. However, the Institute maintains a liaison with the Civil Authorities to ensure the security in<br />

the Campus. Furthermore, the Institute Proctorial Board keeps round-the-clock vigil to see that the peaceful<br />

environment is not disturbed in the Campus. Stern action is taken against a student if found involved in<br />

any misconduct and in any activity that would harm the peaceful environment of the Campus.<br />

Concept Classes<br />

Personal care is taken with respect to individual students<br />

to implant the basics and fundamentals in them through<br />

‘concept classes’ which they are supposed to attend<br />

beyond their regular classes. Such concept classes are<br />

addressed by the renowned professors of the Institute<br />

as well as by the external experts from premier<br />

Organisations of the academic, R&D laboratory, industry,<br />

and defence sectors of the country.<br />

Attendance and<br />

Examination<br />

The strict observance of the attendance and the<br />

examination sanctity has been a prime asset of the<br />

Institute. Each student is required to secure at least 75%<br />

attendance as per WBUT norms in both theory and<br />

practical classes. Failure to attain the required percentage<br />

debars a student from appearing in Semester<br />

Examinations. No compromise is made with regard to<br />

indiscipline and malpractice in Internal and University<br />

Examinations. The parents/guardians are constantly<br />

informed of their wards’ attendance and performances<br />

in Examinations.<br />

Parents-Teachers<br />

Interaction<br />

The Institute maintains a close linkage with the<br />

parents/guardians of the students. The parents/guardians<br />

are informed of the attendance, the performance, and of<br />

the other activities of their wards. Similarly, the<br />

parents/guardians are welcome anytime to interact with<br />

the Institute on any matter concerning their wards. The<br />

disciplinary action taken against a student, if any, is<br />

brought to the notice of his or her parents/guardians.<br />

We ensure the interaction between the parents and the<br />

Institute through frequent meetings. A visiting hour of<br />

the parents/guardian is scheduled from 3 to 4.30pm on<br />

all working days unless the concerned department<br />

intimates the parents/guardian to visit the Institute<br />

urgently or beyond the schedule hours on exigency.<br />

Swami Vivekananda Auditorium<br />

The Institute is proud to have recently built its acoustically designed Auditorium dedicated to Swami<br />

Vivekananda coinciding with his 150th Birth Anniversary. The Swami Vivekananda Auditorium is located<br />

on the third floor of the Institute Main Building with an audience capacity of 300. It has the state-of-theart<br />

features (such as false ceiling with glass-wool pack, followed by Gyp. Board fixing; acoustical wall<br />

panelling with glass wool isolation with Gyp. Board cover; Yamaha Public Address System with all<br />

accessories; and Sony O.H. Projector with 2000 ANSI Lumens XGA resolution). The Auditorium has been<br />

of great use to us in hosting national and International conferences, orientation sessions of recruiters,<br />

inter-Institutional debates and scientific meets as well as social and cultural events at <strong>SKFGI</strong>.<br />

Corporate Relation Affairs Division<br />

encompassing Training and Placement<br />

The Institute has a full-fledged wing, namely, Corporate Relation Affairs (CRA) Division under the guidance<br />

of the Chairman, Education Division of <strong>SKFGI</strong>. The distinct Vision of the CRA Division is, sustained excellence<br />

in Training, Placement and Career Orientation. The Division operating through its two offices in two verticals,<br />

one at the Institute Campus and another at Kolkata garners support from renowned Industry and Corporate<br />

Houses. The Division arranges campus interviews and grooms them through preparatory classes, group<br />

discussions, mock interviews, etc. It also arranges the visits of H. R. personnel from the Corporate Sectors<br />

to <strong>SKFGI</strong>, who through their lectures and seminars motivate students and develop awareness in them. The<br />

Division also arranges the Summer Internship for students. The activities of the CRA Division are carried<br />

out in liaison with the concerned Heads of Departments.<br />

The Pre-placement Grooming Cell of the CRA Division is aimed at bridging the gap between the class-room<br />

teaching and the requirements at the future workplace of students after they pass out from the Institute.<br />

The Cell takes care in inculcating into the students a mix of academic, technical and behavioural skills,<br />

attitudes, soft skill, team compatibility and other professional competencies so that they become more<br />

acceptable and deliverable to the potential employers. The Cell extremely values what Hewlett-Packard<br />

points out: “If teaching equipment and curriculum become more obsolescent, then our job in industry<br />

becomes much harder and our country falls behind in the technology race and in world market.” The<br />

Division is well aware of its Vision, Aim and Objective, Short-Term Plan and Long-Term Plan. It also takes<br />

care of Vocational Training, and Summer Internship Programme of students and make them aware of Present<br />

Job Requirement Scenario, Achievement /Placement Status of our students, and finally keeps record of and<br />

reacts to Students’ Feedback. The Division has done a commendable job in the placement of students. For<br />

instance, thanks to the all-out effort of the Division, around 91% of the final B. Tech students of the Institute<br />

have already been selected for jobs through campus interviews up to the end of May 2013.<br />

Industry-Academia Partnership Initiative<br />

Richard Atkinson, President of the University of California, USA has rightly said, “This is the strategic time<br />

to start investigating in Institute-Industry partnerships that put the products of Institute research directly<br />

to work in the economy (e.g. Silicon Valley).” Institute-Academia-Partnership is a natural process. An<br />

Institute is a knowledge-generating machine that generates Students and Research Results. On the other<br />

hand, an Industry requires the Students and Research Results as the input and generates resources, namely,<br />

Funds and Intellectual Stimulation. Therefore, the two together can form an ideal<br />

partnership. It is a symbiotic process. The bonding of <strong>SKFGI</strong> with CSIR-CEERI, IBM<br />

and NB Institute for Rural Technology and the establishment of the R&D centres at <strong>SKFGI</strong><br />

such as Sir J. C. Bose Creativity Centre and Centre for Renewable and Non-Conventional<br />

Energy Studies and Research are our advancing steps toward the goal of becoming one<br />

of the leading groups of academic Institutions in the country. Right from the beginning<br />

of the Institute, we are striving for Industry-Academia bonding; the existence of IBM<br />

Systems Centre of Excellence and the proposed MoU with Sterlite Technologies in the<br />

Campus are the typical testimonies to this effort. (See the section to follow on Sir J. C.<br />

Bose School of Engineering for further details). We are also looking forward to the<br />

successful implementation of various industry-campus connect programmes.<br />

Achievement<br />

<strong>SKFGI</strong> has gained the reputation of a quality education provider. It stands a leader despite being relatively<br />

‘young’ in the arena of Engineering and Management Institutes. <strong>SKFGI</strong> has achieved an impressive campus<br />

recruitment record this year, in both B.Tech & MBA, as a new upcoming leading Institute. For instance,<br />

the very first (2009-13) batch of B. Tech students of <strong>SKFGI</strong> not only performed brilliantly in academics<br />

but also in the events where placements are concerned, thereby making <strong>SKFGI</strong> an Institute par excellence<br />

to be considered on one hand by prospective students for admission and on the other hand by potential<br />

recruiters for selecting suitable recruits for their companies. The third batch of MBA(2011-13) has equally<br />

excelled in their performance, achieving record placement statistics and encouraging feedback from<br />

Esteemed Recruiters.<br />

Alumni Association<br />

The objectives of the Association, which was formed under the aegis of the CRA Division and with the<br />

initiatives of the first (2011) and the second (2012) groups of MBA pass-out students as well as that of the<br />

first group (2013) of B. Tech pass-out students are to (i) provide a forum for the alumni of <strong>SKFGI</strong> to remain<br />

connected; (ii) create an opportunity for <strong>SKFGI</strong> alumni to give back their best to their alma mater for the<br />

advancement of <strong>SKFGI</strong>; (iii) help the students of <strong>SKFGI</strong> in knowing career opportunities and overcoming<br />

their teething problems, if any, in new places of appointment in the county and abroad; (iv) financially help<br />

their alma mater establish centres of excellence as well as infrastructure for the advancement of <strong>SKFGI</strong><br />

through technical advice and financial support; (v) help <strong>SKFGI</strong> in establishing the local chapters of<br />

professional societies; (vi) give professional feedback to add innovation in our teaching methodology for<br />

the overall advancement of our students; (vii) arrange seminars by experts at <strong>SKFGI</strong>; and so on.<br />

Student Relation Affairs Cell and Counselling<br />

The Institute has due concern about all that is to be done to make students’ life easy during the period of<br />

their career in the Institute. And to this cause, the Institute has the Students Relations Affairs Cell. The<br />

Cell, comprising of experienced professional personnel, in general, arranges the necessary ‘counselling’<br />

fee structure and the mode of payment, see the sections to follow on Sir J. C. Bose School of Engineering<br />

and Dr. P. C. Mahalnabish School of Management).<br />

Hostel Facilities<br />

In-Campus Hostels are provided separately for the Boys and Girls admitted into the Institute subject to the<br />

availability of seats on first-come-first serve basis, giving due preference to those living far from the Institute<br />

Campus, however, holding the right of the Institute on the allotment of Hostel seats to students. A student<br />

living in the hostel has to strictly abide by the norms laid in the ‘Halls of Residence’, duly displayed in the<br />

Hostel. The students residing outside the Institute Hostels, termed as Day Scholars, have to ensure that<br />

they attend classes and take part in Institute activities including those arranged for their training and<br />

placement adhering to the Institute schedule, at par with the residents of Institute Hostels.<br />

The Institute Hostels are spacious with well ventilated rooms, free from noise. The Hostels provide<br />

comfortable living facilities including round the clock electricity, water supply and security. The Hostel<br />

Superintendents closely monitor the food and lodging arrangement of the resident wards and ensures a<br />

home-away-from-home atmosphere in hostels. A boy or girl student opting for the Institute Hostel facility,<br />

has to pay the hostel fee @1350/- per month on quarterly basis in advance, i.e., Rs. 4150/- (Rupees four<br />

thousand one hundred fifty only) to the Institute for one quarter (three months). The above fee is for lodging<br />

only payable to the Institute. The Institute has made provisions of two in-campus canteens to serve food<br />

to both the hostel boarders and the day scholars. The boy/girl hostel boarders shall avail food from these<br />

canteens paying at actuals.<br />

Further, a Caution Deposit of Rs.6000/-, which is fully refundable after one month of vacating the Hostel<br />

accommodation, is to be paid by hostel boarders (both boys and girls). However, the value of any advertent<br />

damage to asset(s) of the hostel, as evaluated by the Institute, shall be deducted from the caution deposit,<br />

on the sole discretion of the Institute. The Hostel fees and charges are subject to revisions from time to<br />

time. A student may opt to leave the hostel at his/her own discretion subject to consent given by his/her<br />

parent/guardian. However, such an option can be allowed only at the end of a semester and not within a<br />

running semester. The Institute reserves the right to discharge/leave any hostel boarder(s)at any point of<br />

time, instantly on the ground of indiscipline, violation of ‘Halls of Residence’ intimating the parents/guardian<br />

concerned.<br />

Cafeteria<br />

Besides food (breakfast, lunch, dinner, refreshments)<br />

available in canteens, the Institute Cafeteria provides<br />

on payment basis lunch and other refreshments<br />

during stipulated period within the Institute hour.<br />

This has proved to be of immense help to both day<br />

scholars and Institute Staff including teachers and<br />

visitors.<br />

PART<br />

B<br />

Sir J. C. Bose School of Engineering<br />

The School that thinks Ahead of Time


“The true laboratory is the mind, where behind illusions we uncover the laws of truth”<br />

Professor Jagadish Chandra Bose<br />

“Across the oceans, on the western shore,<br />

Reigns the temple of Goddess<br />

Of wealth and science,<br />

There you have journeyed, my friend,<br />

And returned richly crowned.”<br />

--- Rabindranath Tagore<br />

“J. C. Bose was at least 60 years ahead of his time. . . In fact, he had anticipated the existence of p-type<br />

and n-type semiconductors.” – Sir Neville Mott, Noble Laureate.<br />

Born on 30th November 1858 in Bikrampur near Dhaka in Bangladesh, Acharya Sir Jagadish Chandra Bose<br />

graduated from St. Xavier’s College; Calcutta received B. Sc. Degree from the University of Calcutta in<br />

1879. In 1880, he went to England to study medicine at University of London. However, he had to quit<br />

because of ill health. He then moved to Christ’s College, Cambridge to study Natural Science. Bose received<br />

the Natural Science Tripos from the University of Cambridge and a B. Sc degree from the University of<br />

London in 1884. During this period one of his teachers was Lord Rayleigh who had a profound influence<br />

on his later work.<br />

It is highly encouraging to note that during his time people were attracted by Western culture. A man was<br />

proud if he had learnt English. But Jagadish Chandra Bose’s education was really remarkable; it was due<br />

to his father, Bhagawan Chandra Bose. Jagadish Chandra received his school education in Bengali from<br />

Hare School at Calcutta. He was thrilled by the illustrious characters of Ramayana and Mahabharata. Karna<br />

of Mahabharata was an ideal to him because he was not only a great hero but also very generous.<br />

Bose returned to India and joined Presidency College as officiating Professor of Physics. During this period<br />

Bose, following the example of Lord Rayleigh, made extensive use of scientific demonstrations in class.<br />

Bose was a highly successful teacher, because by instinct he was a great physicist with unbelievable<br />

experimental ingenuity. He encouraged them to observe, to question, to experiment and to innovate,<br />

without depending solely on books or teachers. Many of his students at the Presidency College were<br />

destined to become famous in their own right - for example S.N. Bose, later to become well known for the<br />

Bose-Einstein statistics. He designed and developed sensitive and sophisticated equipment for his research<br />

work. Aside this, he also developed a few highly sensitive instruments. ‘Crescograph’ was one such<br />

instrument, which is used for measuring the growth in plants. A demonstration of the Crescograph at the<br />

University College of London on April 23, 1920 led several leading scientists to state in The Times: “We<br />

are satisfied that the growth of plant tissues is correctly recorded by this instrument, and at a magnification<br />

from one million to ten million times.” He is a polymath, physicist, biologist, botanist and archaeologist.<br />

While in Presidency College he made remarkable progress in radio science. In November 1894, he made<br />

public demonstration of wireless signalling. In May 1897, Marconi conducted wireless signalling experiment.<br />

IEEE named him one of the fathers of radio science. He was also considered the father of Bengali Science<br />

fiction writer. He was first to develop a semi-conducting crystal as a detector (galena crystal) of radio<br />

waves. For this a US patent was awarded to him in 1904. But he was reluctant to any form of patenting.<br />

Sister Nivedita was instrumental in filing for this patent. He is not only a scientist but also a philosopher<br />

and a divinely inspired sage “Rishi (G{f)”, and believed that patenting does not help progress of science.<br />

This is as true as the Sun rises in the east. Think of what would have happened if the invention of ‘0’ (Zero)<br />

was patented by the Aryabhata! If free access to this result were denied we could not have done any research<br />

in scientific world. When in England J. C. Bose wrote to Rabindranath Tagore in 1901, “.... I wish you could<br />

see that terrible attachment for gain in this country....that lust for money...Once caught in that trap there<br />

would have been no way out for me.”<br />

He received quite a few awards for his works, like Companion of the order of the Indian Empire (1903),<br />

Companion of the order of the Star of India (1912), Knight Bachelor (1917), Fellow of Royal Society (FRS,<br />

1920), Member of the Vienna Academy of Sciences (1928), and so on. J. C. Bose, the unsung hero of radio<br />

communication and inventor of Marconi’s wireless receiver, was denied Noble Prize.<br />

However, on September 14, 2012 Bose’s experimental work in millimetre-band radio was recognized as an<br />

IEEE Milestone in Electrical and Computer Engineering, the first such recognition of a discovery in India.<br />

It is not surprising that many great persons of the day were his friends. Prafulla Chandra Ray, another<br />

famous scientist, was one of his close friends. Eminent men like Gopalakrishna Gokhale and Mahatma<br />

Gandhi knew and respected him. There were two other friends of his, two giants of the literary world. They<br />

were George Bernard Shaw, the English dramatist and Romain Rolland, the French writer. Both of them<br />

dedicated one book each to Jagadish Chandra Bose.<br />

Vivekananda, Sister Nivedita and Mrs. Sara Bull were also his good friends and well-wishers who helped<br />

him to realize his dream and the need of establishing a research Institution in India. While inaugurating the<br />

Bose Research Institute in Calcutta on November 30, 1917 he said, "This is not a laboratory but a temple."<br />

J. C. Bose laid the foundations of experimental science in this country. Before him there was hardly any<br />

tradition of experimental science in India. He can very justifiably be called the Galileo of modern India.<br />

To the very end Acharya Bose was busy with research. Wealth and power never attracted Jagadish Chandra<br />

Bose. He toiled for science like a saint, selflessly. This great teacher, scientist and a creative engineer is a<br />

great example to all. We salute the father of radio communication and inventor of Marconi’s wireless receiver.<br />

Acharya Sir Jagadish Chandra Bose breathed his last on 23 November 1937 at the age of 79.<br />

As a mark of our respect,<br />

Sir J. C. Bose School of Engineering<br />

is our humble tribute to him!<br />

Sir J. C. Bose Creativity Centre<br />

The Institute offers this unique centre for cultivating innovative ideas in students and helping them carry<br />

out research in frontier areas under the guidance of an Internationly acclaimed scientist and educationalist<br />

Professor B. N. Biswas, whom the Institute boasts to have amidst its students and teachers round the clock<br />

as Emeritus Professor of Electronics and Communication Engineering Department, on one hand, and as<br />

the Chairman of the Education Division of <strong>SKFGI</strong>, and, above all, as the overall Mentor of <strong>SKFGI</strong>, on the<br />

other. The research carried out jointly by the students and teachers of the Institute have earned recognition<br />

through publications in journals, presentation at conferences, and students’ paper and innovative design<br />

contests.<br />

The Centre also provides doctoral research facilities to in-house and external researchers. For instance,<br />

one of the teachers of a neighbouring Institute benefited from the guidance of the centre and submitted<br />

his doctoral thesis this year to WBUT; see Annexure BI. During the span of only a couple of years of its<br />

existence, the Centre has to its credit a very large number of research papers published in peer-reviewed<br />

reputed journals listed in Annexure BI. It is heartening to mention that as many as 13 B. Tech students of<br />

<strong>SKFGI</strong> have co-authored journal papers in a short span of a year during the current session with their<br />

teacher supervisors (see Annexure BI). Recently, the Centre has sponsored the visit of four final year<br />

Centre for Renewable and<br />

Non-conventional Energy Studies and Research<br />

Non-conventional and renewable energy has a great role in recent time’s energy development. With the<br />

increasing cost and the ever increasing energy demands, coal, oil and uranium would lose their importance<br />

in the near future. With the fear of the exhaustion of the conventional sources of energy it is always an<br />

exciting prospect to develop researches on the extraction of energy from non-conventional energy sources.<br />

The use of conventional sources of energy has polluted the environment with its by-product like acid rain<br />

and global warming which has been countered by the effectiveness and clean nature of the non-conventional<br />

energy resources. The abundance and easy availability of energies such as solar, wind and tidal has made<br />

engineers and scientists give it a thought on the possibilities of harnessing these energy sources.<br />

In the year 1947, the total power generation capacity in India was only 1360MW. By 1991, it grew to 65,000MW<br />

of which around 45,000MW (69%) was generated in thermal plants. According to the 10th Plan, 2007, the<br />

total power generation capacity of the thermal, the hydroelectric and the other types of power plants<br />

(excluding nuclear power plants) are 58,000MW, 23,000MW and 81,000MW, respectively. However, the<br />

total installed capacity of the country has crossed to 200GW, with a record capacity addition of 54,964MW<br />

in the 11th plan which is about two and half times the capacity added in the 10th plan.<br />

To cater to the need of energy in the days to<br />

come, more and more alternative sources of<br />

energy need to be explored and make them<br />

consumable for the end users. The main objective<br />

of the Centre is to provide an intensified support<br />

in higher engineering education with a continuous<br />

emphasis on research and development in the<br />

field of renewable and non-conventional energy<br />

sources. It has aimed at training young engineers<br />

and supporting budding researchers to work in<br />

the areas of renewable energy, energy<br />

conservation, and sustainable energy systems.<br />

The Centre has targeted to put a tireless effort<br />

for enhancing the prospect of alternative energy<br />

sources.<br />

IBM Systems Centre of Excellence<br />

Considering the indispensability of software knowledge in the domain of IT as well as IT-enabled industry<br />

and core industries and keeping in view the feeble job market in hardware sectors, particularly in West<br />

Bengal, we approached the world famous computer organisation IBM to help us cover the syllabus so as<br />

to bridge the gap between the industry requirements and the syllabus-centric study. Memorandum of<br />

Understanding (MoU) has already been signed with IBM and the Institute has thus earned the distinction<br />

of becoming the IBM Systems Centre of Excellence. The course contents are (a) System PELTP (b) System<br />

Z (c) Linux ELTP (d) System IELTP. The classes that have been conducted under the programme since<br />

February 2012 has proved to be of immense value to students in making them prepared in the perspective<br />

of the present job scenario. Moreover, the programme provides professional recognition to students through<br />

IBM-authorised certification; identifies the students under the programme as the IBM prospective candidates<br />

for a job; and gives them an opportunity for their names to be forwarded to the IBM Customer Service<br />

System.<br />

Finite-Element Analysis and Design Centre<br />

The finite element analysis (FEA), also known as the finite element method (FEM), is a numerical method<br />

for the solution of a complex system of partial differential equations subject to prescribed boundary<br />

conditions. The method uses the concept of piecewise polynomial interpolation. In FEM, the solution region<br />

is cut into a finite number of elements, which are then reconnected at nodes as if the latter were ‘drops<br />

of glue’ holding the elements together. In this method, in steps (i) the governing equation for a typical<br />

element is derived; (ii) all the elements in the solution region are assembled; and (iii) the system of equations<br />

is solved. The FEM is capable of handling more complex problem geometries than could be done by the<br />

finite difference method (FDM) since, unlike in FDM, it has the ability to find the values at any point inside<br />

the solution region rather than at any discrete grid point.<br />

By the early 70's, FEM found extensive use in aeronautics, automotive, defence and nuclear industries. With<br />

the phenomenal increase in the computing power, FEM became a tool of incredible precision. Present day<br />

supercomputers are now able to produce accurate results using FEM for all kinds of parameters. Both 2-<br />

D and 3-D types of modelling of a complex system are used for FEM. 2-D modelling yields less accurate<br />

results though it conserves simplicity and allows the analysis to be run on a relatively normal computer<br />

while 3-D modelling yields more accurate results at the cost of the speed of computation and demanding<br />

faster computing facility. Both the types of modelling facilitate the incorporation of a variety of algorithms<br />

that can allow the system to behave linearly or nonlinearly.<br />

FEM software provides a wide range of simulation options for controlling the complexity of both modelling<br />

and analysis of a system. Similarly, the desired level of accuracy required and associated computational<br />

time requirements can be managed simultaneously to address most engineering applications. FEM allows<br />

the entire design to be constructed, refined, and optimized before the design is translated to a product.<br />

Several modern FEM packages like ANSYS Multiphysics include specific components such as thermal,<br />

electrostatic, electromagnetic, fluid, and structural analysis. In a structural simulation, FEM helps in producing<br />

stiffness and strength visualizations and also in minimizing weight, materials, and costs. Some of the other<br />

FEM packages are COSMOS (for mechanical engineering), FLOWTHERM (for fluid dynamics), NASTRAN<br />

(for aerodynamics), ANSOFT-HFSS (for electron-beam-absent (cold) analysis of electromagnetic structures),<br />

ANSYS-MAGIC (particle-in-cell code for electron-beam-wave interaction, for instance, in particle accelerators<br />

and microwave tubes/vacuum electron devices), and so on. Further, the combination with the finite integration<br />

technique also allows the simulation using the other software like CST Microwave Studio. The use of<br />

appropriate FEM software considerably reduces the number of trials of actual fabrication thereby considerably<br />

reducing the cost and time of manufacturing products.<br />

The Finite-Element Analysis and Design Centre of <strong>SKFGI</strong> is aimed at<br />

w exploiting the strong knowledge base in FEM available at Applied Science Department of <strong>SKFGI</strong><br />

w carrying out original research in FEM that can be used to make the existing software more friendly, less<br />

time consuming and more accurate<br />

w involving undergraduate and postgraduate students in taking up projects of practical relevance<br />

w carrying out research programmes in liaison with Centre for Renewable and Non-Conventional Energy<br />

w collaborating with NB Institute for Rural Technology, Kolkata under the existing MoU<br />

w interacting with DRDO-MTRDC, Bangalore in the area of microwave tubes and<br />

w carrying out sponsored projects in the area of the design and analysis of devices and systems of practical<br />

relevance.<br />

MoU with CSIR-CEERI, Pilani<br />

<strong>SKFGI</strong> is perhaps the only Institute in this part of the country to have Memorandum of Understanding<br />

(MoU) of its engineering Institution, namely, Sir J. C. Bose School of Engineering, with one of the most<br />

prestigious National laboratories of CSIR, namely, Central Electronics Engineering Research Institute<br />

(CEERI), Pilani (Rajasthan) to “promote academic and research linkage through collaborative academic and<br />

research endeavours for the cause of the advancement of learning.”<br />

Such a ‘landmark’ in establishing an understanding with a Government laboratory has become all the more<br />

important now in that CSIR-CEERI, besides contributing to the progress of the country through R&D, has<br />

now become one of the constituents of the coveted Academy of Scientific and Innovative Research (AcSIR)<br />

of CSIR. This success in establishing the collaboration with a National laboratory has been made possible<br />

by the reputation of our Institute through the contribution of the faculty members of our Institute in<br />

reviewing and steering the progress of the ongoing projects at CSIR-CEERI as well as through the evidence<br />

our Institute has already shown by jointly organising with CSIR-CEERI the National and International<br />

conferences on engineering education, hosted at our Campus.<br />

Both the participating Institutes (<strong>SKFGI</strong> and CSIR-CEERI) under this MOU have ensured that all activities<br />

within the framework of the understanding are taken up keeping in view the mission and vision of both the<br />

organisations. Thus, through this agreement we have opened a new vista to the students of our Institute,<br />

who now get an opportunity to be trained through the state-of-the-art technology. Both the Institutes have<br />

agreed under the programme to share the expenditure towards the travel and local hospitality involved in<br />

the mutual visits of the concerned personnel encompassing students, teachers, and scientists. The<br />

understanding includes the extension of the infrastructural facilities, the provision of subsistence allowances<br />

to students, and so on. Besides the undergraduate (B. Tech) programme, the postgraduate (M. Tech) and<br />

the doctoral (Ph. D) programmes have also been brought within the purview of the MOU. While the scope<br />

in terms of the areas of collaboration under the MOU has been made wide open, we have identified some<br />

of them as VLSI design, embedded system, image processing, wireless sensor network, process control<br />

instrumentation, communication system for disaster management, optoelectronics, microwave photonics,<br />

RF and microwave MEMS, slow-wave and fast-wave microwave tubes, terahertz devices, electromagnetic<br />

simulation, structural and thermal analysis, and so on.<br />

The doctoral research programme is carried out in the Institute. This year a student has submitted his Ph.D<br />

thesis to WBUT under the supervision of Professor B. N. Biswas in the field of Electronics and Communication<br />

Engineering (Annexure BI) while five other students registered in various other universities (including<br />

Calcutta University and Jadavpur University) under him are on the verge of submitting their theses. The<br />

other faculty members are also either supervising or carrying out doctoral research.<br />

Post Graduation: A Need of the Hour<br />

It will never be possible to teach everything required for a 21st century engineer in a 4-year graduate<br />

engineering course. As such it has been generally agreed in the world forum that a 4-year engineering<br />

course be followed by a 2-year master’s programme in an environment of Ph.D and R & D activities.<br />

In line with the essential need, <strong>SKFGI</strong>, among the premier Institutes, has ceaselessly attempted and become<br />

successful to introduce the M. Tech program in the academic session 2012-2013. In its glorious start, we<br />

offer M. Tech programme affiliated to WBUT and approved by AICTE in the following disciplines:<br />

Engineering: Comprehensive Thoughts<br />

Introduction<br />

We humans are wonderful communicators because<br />

of a unique inheritance of our species. However,<br />

human communication practice did not change<br />

rapidly in prehistoric and ancient times in spite of<br />

our ceaseless quest for sharing thoughts and ideas<br />

with our neighbours [Communication ‘Communico’<br />

(Latin) meaning ‘to share’]. The progress of society<br />

(essentially people in communication) depends on<br />

the dissemination of information (i.e. using<br />

communication technique). Communication<br />

innovations were very slow in those days as<br />

compared to those in the last 100 years. The need<br />

and importance of communication system as well<br />

as its progress was beautifully illustrated in the cover<br />

page of an IEEE communication magazine. This is<br />

illustrated in the adjoining diagram (Fig.1). The danger<br />

of a flying pterodactyl is disseminated by beating a wooden plank with the help of bones. This also signifies<br />

our inability to overcome the barrier of distance and time in those days, whereas in modern times it is done<br />

with the help of satellite communication technique. This demonstrates the death of distance and time in<br />

establishing a communication link.<br />

<strong>Prospectus</strong> 2013 | 63


In the last 100 years, more and more new form of electronic communication systems have been developed<br />

[because of our ceaseless efforts for innovation of<br />

communication technique] than throughout almost<br />

400 centuries which separate us from the homo<br />

sapiens. During the last 50 years, more people are<br />

communicating in more ways than in any of our prior<br />

history, using the large number of electronic devices<br />

and systems. The growth of electronics and<br />

communication systems is exponentially increasing<br />

in both reach and richness. This is illustrated in Fig.2.<br />

This Himalayan Progress in electronics and<br />

communication systems will bring about a great wave<br />

of social changes as associated with two earlier<br />

revolutions in the history of mankind, viz. Renaissance<br />

and Industrial Revolution. This will throw open vast<br />

job prospects in the field of electronics and<br />

communication engineering.<br />

Using a combination of electronics communication system and computer technologies, the new millennium<br />

has begun with the scenario where more people using a single mobile phone can converse face to face,<br />

download from website at an unbelievable speed, listen to music, watch TV, play games, switch on the rice<br />

cooker and so on. In about a couple of years from now, the people using 5G mobile phone, based on Cognitive<br />

Radio principle, can make an emergency call through a dense and crowded communication environments<br />

without listening to “ the channel is busy”. This is achieved using the philosophy: “where the home is”. The<br />

world of science fiction is now only few clicks away.<br />

Further Fig.2 illustrates a vast interesting application-domain of electronics and communication engineering.<br />

It is nothing surprising as the catalyst of the progress is humans’ eternal quest to talk to each other freely<br />

ignoring political boundaries. Again each of the fields of electronics and communications is flourishing<br />

resulting better and better job prospects and at the same demanding creative ideas. Incidentally, it does<br />

not matter in which country the jobs are opening because any one can migrate to any where due to<br />

‘globalisation’ and ‘flat earth concept’. But there is a little ‘but’, you have to be ‘global engineer’ holding a<br />

degree from a University accredited according to Washington Accord and have excellent communication<br />

skills that cross disciplines, culture and languages.<br />

Divergence of fields demanding more and more areas of specialisation have thrown open vistas of<br />

opportunities. It is only necessary and important that the aspiring students must have to learn how to love<br />

learning. Then whatever he/she learns will be implanted in his / her subconscious mind influencing his /<br />

her thought process in the positive direction.<br />

Versatility of ECE<br />

The development of the art of communication, oral and visual, led to the subject of Electronics and<br />

Communication Engineering (ECE), whereas the development of art of communication between man and<br />

machine led to the subject of Computer Science and Engineering (CSE). Obviously, CSE is junior to ECE.<br />

The exact age-difference is difficult to ascertain. Some say that it is approximately one hundred years.<br />

Although CSE has a different origin, yet its entire development owes much to ECE.<br />

The progress of society depends on information – the data that have meaning to human beings. The end<br />

product of information is knowledge/wisdom whose use-value unlike material productions (like, soaps,<br />

clothes etc.) is not lost in the process of consumption but accumulate endlessly and produce new results.<br />

Thus information is one of the nation’s critical resources for services, industries as well as manufacturing<br />

for economic development and national security. The tremendous growth of information led to the<br />

64 | <strong>Prospectus</strong> 2013<br />

development of a technology that equips a human being with the ability to apply or use information. This<br />

is termed as Information Technology (IT). Therefore, IT has two aspects, viz., one that focuses on the<br />

content, i.e., “information” and the other that focuses on the form, i.e. “Infrastructure”. Key technology<br />

areas of IT are located in the domains of ECE and CSE – indicating an intimate relationship. ECE, CSE and<br />

IT differ in their application areas, but from a philosophical viewpoint they are blood brothers. That is ECE<br />

is the base-subject. Thus those who are trained in the art and technology of ECE can easily migrate to the<br />

domain of CSE, IT and ICT – it is simply rowing down the stream. Electronics (microwave) technology plays<br />

a key role in the development of invisible hardware and software – a big leap towards Communication<br />

Revolution – ushering a new era of progress, prosperity and opportunity. It appears that it is easier to stop<br />

a speeding bullet in the mid air than Communication Revolution in its track.<br />

Global Nature of the Job Market<br />

This is one aspect of the need of technical education for the present century. The other side of the problem,<br />

i.e. the integration of the different branches of technical education, is beautifully illustrated by Ron Zarella,<br />

Chief Executive Officer of Bausch and Lomb:<br />

“We make a product called Interplak. The electromechanical design for this home plaque-removal device<br />

is done in Germany and Japan. The batteries are supplied from Japan, the motors are built in the Peoples<br />

Republic of China, the charging base is made in Hong Kong, the precision-made plastic pieces are<br />

manufactured in Atlanta, Georgia, the brush head is made in Ohio, and the final assembly is done in<br />

Mexico.”<br />

Therefore, in the present age an engineer trained in one country works in another country with different<br />

cultures. This is not all. He is dealing with a product assembled in that country but the components of the<br />

product are bought from various countries. This clearly emphasizes not a strong background of fundamentals<br />

but also a need of R & D outlook.<br />

Fall out of the Flat Earth Philosophy<br />

i) Communication capability of the engineers is equally important to his knowledge. Excellent communication<br />

skill that crosses disciplines, cultures and languages is a need of the hour. "Communication is more<br />

than a vehicle for transmitting what we know--it also affects what we know”.<br />

ii)<br />

21st Century engineering education must be broad based with ample scope for learning beyond the<br />

syllabus, substantial reduction of the emphasis on syllabus–centric teaching, attention to innovative<br />

learner-centric teaching, excellent communication skills that cross disciplines, cultures and languages.<br />

Course Structure<br />

The course should also emphasize on<br />

“how to solve problems”, the need for<br />

life long learning and the need for<br />

developing creativity. Theories,<br />

principles, and problem solving<br />

techniques must be weaved in such way<br />

so as to resemble like stories that first<br />

captivate the students and entice them<br />

back again and again. There lies the<br />

beauty and charm of engineering<br />

education. Otherwise, meaning of<br />

studying engineering education is lost.<br />

It is like trying to discover the beauty<br />

of Venice by going through the canals<br />

with a submarine.<br />

Recommendations of World Body<br />

How to integrate all these aspects in a 4-year graduate engineering course It will never be possible to<br />

teach everything required when they go to work after four years – even many parallel tracks and elective<br />

courses are offered. National academy of Engineering of the National Academies USA has made the<br />

following recommendations:<br />

w<br />

w<br />

w<br />

w<br />

w<br />

The baccalaureate degree should be considered as a pre-engineering or “engineer in training” degree.<br />

Master degree can be recognized as the engineering “professional” degree.<br />

Institutes should endorse research in engineering education as a valued and rewarded activity for<br />

engineering faculty. Because the new curriculum and the faculty the two together can reinforce the<br />

idea.<br />

Institutions should encourage domestic students to obtain M.S/M Tech and Ph.D. degrees.<br />

They shall have to be benchmarked as per the principles of Washington Accord, a ten-member apex<br />

global organisation that determines standards of engineering degree.<br />

M. Tech in Electrical Engineering<br />

(Electrical Devices and Power Systems)<br />

Higher Studies in Electrical Engineering:<br />

Some Comprehensive Thoughts<br />

The discipline of electrical engineering is embedded in science and in mathematics. If a disciple of this branch<br />

of engineering enjoys science and mathematics then electrical engineering will surely be a fascinating and<br />

rewarding field of study for him/her with many opportunities to solve key engineering problems. Sub-domains<br />

within this discipline widely range from exploration of information and its communication through material<br />

physics that results in innovation of new devices and the circuits made from them, to the algorithms that run<br />

on next generation computing platforms.<br />

The subtler essence of the discipline has placed its adorer in a comfortable position so as to address a variety<br />

of the crucial engineering issues that civilization is facing today. The main issues of today’s society are<br />

predominantly three folds: if the first concern is the “Energy”, the second is obviously “Information” and the<br />

last but not the least is the “Health”.<br />

<strong>SKFGI</strong>’s vibrant department of Electrical Engineering with its relatively young and dynamic faculty and other<br />

academic staff is actively engaged in teaching and research on many topics related to these challenges to cater<br />

to the global scenario.<br />

The faculty of Electrical Engineering Department at <strong>SKFGI</strong>, in conjunction with its constituents, has established<br />

the following educational objectives for the post-graduate students.<br />

w The postgraduate students should have a strong foundation in the areas of mathematics, basic sciences and<br />

should gain the knowledge of core electrical engineering fundamentals to develop abilities necessary for<br />

specialization in all areas of electrical engineering.<br />

w The postgraduate students should develop problem solving and design skills for devising and evaluating<br />

solutions for problems related to electrical engineering, including design of components, systems, and<br />

experiments.<br />

w The postgraduate students should be well-informed about the present and emerging technologies that are<br />

significant in connection to electrical engineering.<br />

w The postgraduate students should be well-prepared for doctoral research.<br />

w The postgraduate students should embrace and foster an environment that encourages creativity and<br />

enthusiasm for life-long learning.<br />

w The postgraduate students must develop professional attributes like communication skills, teamwork, ethics,<br />

and an appreciation for other disciplines, both technical and non-technical, in order to deal with the impact<br />

of technology in a global, societal, and organizational context.<br />

To strengthen the applied knowledge of the students of any branch of engineering, laboratories are an integral<br />

part of the course. The department of Electrical Engineering at <strong>SKFGI</strong> offers its postgraduate students a number<br />

of laboratory courses through which they can get first hand knowledge about a number of very specialized<br />

software that are widely used in industries to solve real time problem. The students are given an exposure to<br />

realize the simulated results through hardware realization. The facilities offered to the post graduate students<br />

at <strong>SKFGI</strong> are comparable to the best in industries.<br />

Dr. P. C. Mahalanabish School of Management<br />

The B-School with a difference


“Statistics must have a clearly defined purpose, one aspect of which is scientific advance<br />

and the other human welfare and national development.”<br />

Professor Prasanta Chandra Mahalanobis<br />

Professor Prasanta Chandra Mahalanobis was a physicist by<br />

training, a statistician by instinct and economist by conviction.<br />

It is most interesting and surprising to know that his achievements<br />

were in fields in which he had no formal training and degree.<br />

That is why the famous biologist J. B. S. Haldane praised<br />

Mahalanobis by saying the following:<br />

“I consider it desirable that a man’s or woman’s major<br />

research work should be in a subject in which he or she<br />

has not taken a degree. To get degree one has to learn a<br />

lot of facts and theories in a somewhat parrot like manner.<br />

It is rather hard to be highly original in a subject in which<br />

one has learned with a view of obtaining first class honours<br />

in an examination.” ---- J. B. S. Haldane, FRS<br />

Mahalanobis was born on 29th June, 1893 in Calcutta. Even at a very early age he came under the influence<br />

of Rabindranath Tagore who took a liking to young Mahalanobis, being particularly impressed by the<br />

combination in him of a love of literature with a flair for logical analysis.<br />

Mahalanobis graduated from Presidency College and received B. Sc. Honors in Physics from Calcutta<br />

University 1912. In 1914, he took Part I of the Mathematical Tripos but changed over to Physics and passed<br />

the Natural Science Tripos, Part II, with a first class in 1915 from King’s College. It was at Cambridge<br />

Mahalanobis met the famous mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan. In 1915, he completed his Tripos in<br />

Physics. He also worked for a short duration at Cavendish Laboratory with C.T.R. Wilson, a Nobel Laureate<br />

in Physics. It was during this time he took a short break and came to India. He then met the Principal of<br />

Presidency College who invited him to take classes in Physics. It is here he analyzed examination results<br />

using the statistical methods. He enjoyed this work so much that he left physics and fell into love with<br />

facts, figures, graphs and charts. Upon returning to England, he was introduced to the journal Biometrika.<br />

The journal interested him so much that he purchased the complete set and took them to India. On his<br />

way back to India, he discovered the utility of statistics to problems in meteorology, anthropology and<br />

began working on the same. Statistics later became his lifelong love and passion and he pursued statistical<br />

work in India mentored by Acharya Brajendranath Seal. Before Mahalanobis arrived on the scene, statistics<br />

was virtually unknown in India.<br />

Professor P. C. Mahalanobis’s contribution to the subject of statistics is incredibly varied. Mahalanobis had<br />

held the position of Statistical Advisor to the Government of India and Member, Planning Commission.<br />

After independence he was appointed Statistical Advisor to the newly formed cabinet. He drafted India’s<br />

Second Five Year Plan in 1955, which envisaged rapid industrialization to eliminate unemployment.<br />

Mahalanobis received many awards from academic societies all over the world for his contributions to<br />

statistics and economic planning. He received the Weldon Medal from Oxford University in 1944 and was<br />

elected a Fellow of the Royal Society (FRS), London, in 1945 for his fundamental contributions to statistics,<br />

particularly in the area of large-scale sample surveys. The Government of India honoured him with the<br />

Padma Vibhushan, in 1968. He was appointed Chairman of the United Nations Sub-Commission on Statistical<br />

Sampling. As the Chairman of the UN Statistical Commission, he also helped in the spread of robust and<br />

extremely useful statistical ideas to other countries.<br />

The work of Mahalanobis clearly demonstrates that statistics is not simply a collection of complicated<br />

techniques but adds value to the process of management and decision making. Without the ability to think<br />

statistically and to understand and interpret data, managers have to resort to gut reactions, which are<br />

invariably misguided and unreliable. The ability to think statistically is an essential and important skill of<br />

any successful manager. Because of this reason conferences are regularly held in USA on the theme of<br />

“Making Statistics More Effective in Schools of Business”.<br />

And for this we salute the father of Indian statistics, P. C. Mahalanobis who breathed his last on 28th June<br />

1972, at the age of 79.<br />

As a mark of our respect,<br />

Dr. P. C. Mahalanabish School of Management<br />

is our humble tribute to him!<br />

MBA @ <strong>SKFGI</strong>: Smarter Manager. Better Leader.<br />

Dr. P. C. Mahalanabish School of Management, which is one of the two constituents of <strong>SKFGI</strong>, is well known<br />

for its academic and research activities in the various areas of business administration and management<br />

science including finance, business economics, marketing, systems, advertising and publicity, security<br />

analysis and portfolio management, supply chain management, operation research, and human resource<br />

development. We also extensively practice statistics in learning the process of management and decision<br />

making thereby making relevant the existence of our school that is named after the father of statistics.<br />

The School offers the two-year, full-time postgraduate programme in Master of Business Administration<br />

(MBA) affiliated to WBUT and approved by AICTE. The school now is all set to launch its fifth batch of<br />

students for the session 2013-2015.<br />

Focused on its goal to take a leading role in management education in the country, the school has proved<br />

its worth with a difference in terms of quality infrastructure, efficient faculty with innovative academic<br />

delivery, lifestyle management and soft skill development with a thrust on the development of the<br />

communication ability of students thereby enabling the school to generate globally fit managers for industries<br />

and business organisations. For this purpose, benefiting from the fallout of several rounds of brain storming<br />

sessions organised at our Institute, which are enlightened by the deliberation of a pool of management<br />

experts from industrial and academic sectors, we have developed a scientific and standardized educational<br />

system to shape the careers of our students.<br />

We also take due care in going ahead beyond the syllabus-centric training of our students to improve their<br />

core competencies through intense industry interactions and adequate hand-on experiences. Further, we<br />

have a continuous lifestyle management programme that emphasizes on the development of students’<br />

personality, health, attitude and aptitude, thereby fully gearing them up to meet the challenges of the<br />

Corporate World. The excellent teaching, the work culture, the team spirit, the discipline, the dedication<br />

and the creation of an urge to excel in the global market have made the life of MBA students at <strong>SKFGI</strong><br />

amazing and full of excitements.<br />

Placement<br />

In order to stand out in the present competitive world, we emphasize on managerial leadership that requires<br />

both excellent functional skills and exceptional business outlook. The Corporate Relation Affairs (CRA)<br />

Division of our Institute takes due care to implant these skills and outlook so that the students of the School<br />

are appropriately placed in the business world. It aims in matching the requirement of the recruiters with<br />

the aspiration of the students. Thus, right from the word go, the students in the Institute passes through<br />

a well designed learning process, which is designed according to the prescribed syllabus of WBUT and, at<br />

the same time, which is oriented towards and aligned to the placement of students. See the details of<br />

placement and related activities of the CRA Division (see Part A for the details of activities of the CRA<br />

Division) Page 21 to 29.<br />

Summer Internship: Learning by doing<br />

We seriously believe in the necessity of providing a bridge between theory and practice and as such we<br />

take care to see that our MBA students could learn how to apply the conceptual tools learned by them in<br />

real world situations. As such we open up learning-by-doing opportunities to our students through the<br />

Summer Internship Programme arranged by us. Thus, the students acquire hand on experience in actual<br />

business world outside the Institute.<br />

Through this programme, the Institute builds up a collaborative relation with the industrial and the corporate<br />

sectors. From this programme, on the one hand, our Institute learn as how to tune our teaching programme<br />

to actual requirements and on the other hand, these sectors also get an opportunity to identify potential<br />

budding MBA graduates for employment. The CRA Division of our Institute, besides executing the placement<br />

programme described earlier, takes care of arranging the summer internship of our students.<br />

Value Addition to Curriculum<br />

While imparting regular teaching according to the prescribed syllabus of WBUT, the Institute takes care in<br />

offering the following value-added programmes with a view to providing a wider professional exposure to<br />

our students, it being implied that the Institute would bear the expenditure towards the implementation of<br />

such programmes and that no extra fees would be charged from the students for this purpose:<br />

w ERP/SAP training<br />

w Personality Development Programme<br />

w Entrepreneurship Development Programme and<br />

w Regular visits to leading industries.<br />

Through the execution of the above programmes we develop in our students:<br />

w Managerial Competence: by teaching them the basic concepts of the subjects such as marketing, finance,<br />

problem analysis and solution, giving due emphasis on the promotion of interpersonal skills.<br />

w Global Mindset: by inculcating in them the awareness of the economic, social and political trends while<br />

also infusing in them the curiosity and the cultural sensitivity, and<br />

w Leadership and Personal Development: by teaching them as to how to harness their ambition by<br />

mobilizing the energies around them as well as how to lead a team to reach the envisaged target.<br />

Corporate visits @ <strong>SKFGI</strong><br />

Dean & Head of the Department<br />

Appreciating that simple theoretical frameworks and tools, while they are helpful, do not always match the<br />

complexity of real business situations, we arrange regular visits of the eminent personalities to our Institute<br />

from the corporate sector to enlighten our students through their lectures and deliberations. These expert<br />

lectures deal with relatively broader and multidisciplinary issues. From time to time we also arrange for<br />

our students the seminars on the real business practices by external experts, which, though they are based<br />

on the university curriculum, often go beyond the syllabus so that the students of our Institute could benefit<br />

from the experience and practical expertise of these experts on the ever expanding field of business<br />

administration.<br />

Activities of Sir J. C. Bose Creativity Centre<br />

During the last academic year the activities of Sir J. C. Bose Creativity Centre have been evidenced by the<br />

presentation of research papers at various national and international conferences as well as the publication<br />

of research papers in peer-reviewed journals. (However, we have listed here only the papers published/accepted<br />

for publication in journals in the previous session). We are also carrying out, at the premises of this Centre,<br />

some of the activities of the sister centres of <strong>SKFGI</strong>, namely, Centre for Renewable and Non-Conventional<br />

Energy Studies and Research and Finite-Element Analysis and Design Centre, until the infrastructure of<br />

the latter is fully established.<br />

The Centre is led by the great visionary, scientist and teacher (who received the VEDA Lifetime Achievement<br />

Award this year): Professor (Dr.) B. N. Biswas, the Chairman, Education Division of <strong>SKFGI</strong>. Dr. S. N. Joshi<br />

of CSIR-CEERI inaugurated the Centre. The facilities of the Centre are maintained by the faculty members<br />

of the Institute including Mr. Subhradeep Pal. The Centre coordinates the Conference series that our Institute<br />

hosts: “Engineering Education in the New Century” (E2NC) every year at our Institute. The final-year B.<br />

Tech students: Mr. Ravi Raj and Mr. Avishek Das brilliantly conceived and conducted, under the supervision<br />

of their teachers Mr. Subhradeep Pal and Mrs. Sukanya Dutta, Head, AEIE Department, and with support<br />

from their student counterparts, the first ever technology exhibition at the Institute: TechCraze-2013 as a<br />

pre-conference event of E2NC-2013. Mrs. Srima Nandi, Head, HU Department, with a strong support from<br />

her teacher counterparts Mrs. Jhulan Dasgupta and Mrs. Sukanya Dutta and our dedicated student volunteers,<br />

hosted the inaugural programmes of E2NC-2013 and TechCraze-2013 that earned the praise for our Institute<br />

of acclaimed scientists and academicians from all over the country.<br />

Our Centre also arranged its support to one of the teachers of a neighbouring institution in the city: Mr.<br />

Somnath Chatterjee, by arranging for him the guidance of Professor (Dr.) Biswas, which has enabled him<br />

to submit his Ph. D thesis to WBUT this year; his work has been authenticated by a large number of research<br />

papers published in the journals. There are many such scientists and teachers benefiting from the guidance<br />

provided at the Centre by Professor (Dr.) Biswas are on the verge of submitting their theses for the award<br />

of the Ph. D degree of various other universities.<br />

It is heartening to mention that as many as 13 B. Tech students evidenced their original research in peerreviewed<br />

journals this year. The students who achieved this feat are: S. Guha Mallick, Koyel Datta, Raya<br />

Ghosh, Monalisa Sarkar, Roshmy Sanyal, Moumita Ghosh, Mangolika Mondal, Aritra Mondal, Nayan<br />

Banerjee, Jit Chakraborty, Kausik Das, Subir Kumar Datta and Pritam De. We are fortunate to have in<br />

our faculty member: Mr. Aritra Acharyya to take a major share in supervising the publication of their<br />

research. Mr. Subhradeep Pal also motivated his students under the overall supervision of Professor (Dr.)<br />

Biswas to publish papers. Professor (Dr.) Abhijit Lahiri also contributed to this list. The B. Tech students<br />

co-authoring papers in peer-reviewed journals with their mentors have been highlighted by underlining<br />

their names in bold face in the following list. (We have excluded the conference papers and mentioned<br />

only the journal papers published in the session 2012-2013).<br />
