Delhi Network YPS: Seminar at JRE School of Engineering, Greater Noida (India)

On 18th February, a seminar was held at JRE School of Engineering, Greater Noida. YPS of IET Delhi was one of the participants in the seminar. JRE Group is a joint venture of Singapore’s Raffles Education Corporation Ltd and Educomp Solutions Ltd., India. The group has ventured into management and engineering education recently and this seminar was organised to familiarise the first year engineering students about different aspects of engineering education. Attended by about 70 faculty members and first year students, it was a good opportunity to communicate the message espoused by IET. On behalf of IET Delhi Network, Prof. S.S. Murthy (Vice Chairman) and Mr. Ramesh Negi (Chairman-YPS) attended the seminar. Besides providing a brief about IET and its rich heritage, the audience was informed about recent India specific initiatives like the Graduate Advantage Package, Academic affiliate program, and the scholarships. Students were quite inquisitive about the process of joining, fees involved and the PATW competition. In fact some of the young faculty members pursuing their doctoral studies also desired to know about their participation in the forthcoming PATW competition. Prof. Steve Rawlinson, the dynamic President of JRE Group and Dr. V. Krishna Rao, Dean-Engineering appeared keen in having a strategic partnership with IET. The YPS will certainly keep following it up, with guidance and support from the seniors in Delhi network.
