The 10th anniversary of GEC Kozhikode

Tin jubilee that's what they call the 10th anniversary. With too many improvisations in the pipeline, GEC kozhikode celebrated the 10th anniversary with PTA meeting on January 30 ,2010.Followed musical and artistic events and GK quiz.
Drama , group dance, break dance, skit and musical night all remain inexplicably beautiful. Unfortunate that I couldn''t get hold of a camera, to capture those precious moments.
This time it was a problem-less event with each branch enjoying it there own way. That was a really marvellous icing to the fantabulous celebrations.
Long live GEC-K

Research as a career

Dr. Alex Pappachan James, an alumni of GEC Kozhikode gave an interactive session on research as a career on 6th April.
In fact, he was a student of 1999-2003 AE&I batch, the first batch to get in and out of GEC Kozhikode. He showed the old photos of college, where there was nothing much of infrastructure. But people where willing to study, and he told that infrastructure mattered the least in education. He nowadays works in Griffith university , Australia, and does research in computational intelligence/ neuroscience program there.
