About Alumni

The K. J. Somaiya College of Engineering is located within a sprawling 60 acre campus in Vidyavihar (Mumbai, India). The college was founded in 1983 by the Late Shri Karmashibhai Jethabhai Somaiya (1902-1999).

The college currently offers four year courses in the Bachelor of Engineering programs and the college is affiliated to University of Mumbai (India). The courses currently offered are in the disciplines of, Computer Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Electronics & Telecommunication Engineering, Information Technology, and Mechanical Engineering.

Over the years, the Alumni of the K. J. Somaiya College of Engineering have settled across several countries around the world. Some of them have gone on to become successful entrepreneurs, while others hold positions of responsibility in several major organizations in India, and abroad.

This Alumni website is created and managed by some K.J.S.C.E. Alumni. It aims to provide a common platform for all Alumni of this institution and:

Promote networking amongst K.J.S.C.E. Alumni world-wide.
Enable locating long-lost friends from college, to revive old memories and create some new ones.
Serve as a bridge between the Alumni, and the students at the college.
Look up, and interact with Alumni members in an area where they plan to travel to pursue further education, on business or for a holiday.
Share their experiences with others who may follow in their footsteps.
Draw on the collective expertise of all the other Alumni.
Explore opportunities for a career growth.
Share information about products/services that they can offer, or are offered by other Alumni members.
Share views on topics of mutual interest with other Alumni.
Work with other like-minded Alumni, and give back to the student body, and the community-at-large.

Objectives

To provide a common platform for all KJSCE Alumni world-wide.
To establish and maintain a network of technically skilled individuals, who serve as a productive resource to each other and to the community, in the spirit of mutual contribution and benefit.
To foster an environment that enables philanthropic and entrepreneurial activities among its members.
To promote interaction between the KJSCE institute and it's Global Alumni, and promote the interest of the current, and future students of the institute.
To encourage establishment of similar national level KJSCE Alumni Chapters within, and outside India.

What we offer

We offer a single on-line platform for all KJSCE Alumni world-wide.

We offer a unified forum for all KJSCE Alumni to network and interact with other fellow KJSCE Alumni. This is a pool that provides a wealth of knowledge, experience and technical skills, which each alumni may contribute to, and draw from.

The Alumni Registry at the KJSCE Alumni website will enable you to potentially locate and network with other KJSCE Alumni in your local area of residence, explore new career opportunities with other technically skilled individuals who may share your areas of interest, and/or simply locate other alumni with whom you may have lost contact over the years.

We also undertake specific projects that will benefit the current and future students of our alma mater. A number of projects have been identified, and opportunities to contribute in other ways are constantly being explored. Please refer to the projects for details about the proposals currently being considered.

If you would like to volunteer and/or contribute financially, in kind, or by donating your services to these or other projects, this is an ideal forum to make a difference.

Projects

Book Bank
Currently, the books available in the book bank at KJSCE are limited to those required by the syllabus. A proposal has been made to enhance the Book Bank to include reference books, so that students may expand their knowledge beyond the constraints of the syllabus. Please click here, and let us know how you would like to help with this project.
Book sponsorship
There have been an increasing number of students who have the knowledge and intelligence to pursue a career in Engineering, but may not necessarily have the financial resources. The Book Bank could also provide syllabus-oriented books to such students. Please click here, and let us know how you would like to help with this project.
Lab facilities
Much of the lab equipment at the institute is in need for upgrade. As a result, students lose the opportunity to gain relevant exposure to the tools used by the industry. Details about the requirements of the labs are being collected. Please click here, and let us know how you would like to help with this project.
Sports
All work and no play, makes Jack a dull boy - Many of the talented athletes and sports people from KJSCE are unable to participate in events outside the city, due to absence of uniforms, and right equipment. A proposal has been received to sponsor a team. Details are being collected. Please click here, and let us know how you would like to help with this project.
Scholarships/Student Loans
There have been incidents of knowledgeable and deserving students running the risk of not being able to complete their education, despite being admitted to the institute on their merit. The reason primarily is financial hardship in some form or another. Instituting a scholarship program and a student loan program, will allow students who may not be able to afford the education and/or who just need a helping hand due to temporary hardships, to pursue their education. Please volunteer or contribute, to help with this project. If you are a member, and would like to share your views, please send us your feedback.

Industrial experience
As any person who has worked in the real world will know, a day in the industry is worth a week in the classroom. Can you (or someone you know) volunteer to allow the students an on-site visit to give them exposure to the industry? If yes, please click here, and let us know how you would like to help with this project.

What are Bulletin Boards?
A Bulletin Board (or BB) is a platform that allows us to have multiple categories of discussions. At our website, we currently have two BBs:
1) Discussion Forums and
2) Class Notes.
Note: Discussion Forums and Class Notes are available to all registered members at the website. No further registration is necessary.

Snapshots of Discussion Forums and Class Notes BB are posted at the "Photos" page. Please click here to view the Photos. You do not have to be registered at the website to view Photos.

Each BB has multiple "Categories". Categories are simply containers that we use to organize our different subjects of discussions, called "Forums". Each Category may have one or more Forums.

To summarize:
- Bulletin Board or BB (e.g. Discussion Forums) consists of several Categories
- Categories (e.g. Career Opportunities) - each of which consist of one or more Forums
- Forums (e.g. Opportunities in India) - each of which will have several Posts. This is similar to a Yahoo Group
- Posts - messages/responses posted to that Forum

All registered members at the website have read/write access to all the forums. No further registration is necessary.

What are "Discussion Forums"?
"Discussion Forums" is a BB with categories classified by subject. Access to Discussion Forums is available to all registered members at the website. No further registration is necessary.

"Discussion Forums" allow us to have multiple groups, independent from each other, each independently moderated. You may participate in one or more Forum, as you choose.

Some forums have been pre-defined. If you have registered at this website, please sign in to website first by clicking here and click on the "Discussion Forums" link on the home page

What are "Class Notes"?
While “Discussion Forums” are classified by subject, “Class Notes” is a BB classified by class. Each class may have it's own group under "Class Notes". Contact your classmates, and get them together. Share stories, plans and events in your lives. Access to Class Notes is available to all registered members at the website. No further registration is necessary.

Some Class Notes forums have been pre-defined. If you have registered at this website, please sign in to website first by clicking here and click on the "Class Notes" link on the home page

Why are Discussion Boards/Class Notes useful?
Today we have over a hundred KJSCE related individual Yahoo groups, which results in KJSCE Alumni losing contact with other Alumni not in their "group". Some Yahoo groups are based on class/batch, while others are generic and the only thing common to all it's members is that they are all KJSCE Alumni.

The Bulletin Boards at the website allow us to discuss matters of common interest with those that share our interest. It ensures that only messages of interest to us reach our mailboxes. In addition, we continue to maintain access to ALL KJSCE Alumni registered at the website.

Share your views only with those who have the same interests, reduce unwanted e-mails to your mailbox AND still keep in touch with all your Alumni friends!
