Dressing Neatly

Let’s say you are going for an interview tomorrow. You have prepared yourself well for the occasion – anticipating the questions and getting ready the answers – but have you given a thought to what you will wear? If you have not peeped into your wardrobe yet, it’s time to take a real hard look now.
   Your application’s fate depends not just on how well you answer the interview questions, but also on how well you project yourself physically. The first impression your interviewer makes about you is based on the way you look, and you know what they say about first impressions. “The way a person dresses is the single biggest non-verbal communication you make about yourself.”

    “Although proper dressing by itself will not get you the job, a poor dress sense may exclude you from further consideration”. Besides, given two equally good applications, the company may choose to hire the person who is dressed more professionally. Here are some tips to give you a head start.
   Along with dress code a sense of colour and style combination is also explained. Hair styles and use of accesaries is another area which needs good attention. During the MOCK sessions, before first placement drive, students are made to follow the professional dress code and the checking of it will be done by the seniors, who are already selected in top companies.

MEN

  Long-sleeved shirt and dark slacks. White is still the safest and the best color for shirts. The colour is also appropriate for our tropical weather. Also acceptable: pale shades such as beige, blue, and other pastels.
   Tuck in the shirt and do not roll up the sleeves. Never wear a short-sleeved shirt to an interview or any business purpose. Wearing a short-sleeve shirt will destroy your executive image.

Ties: Optional. But if you do wear one, choose a conservative pattern. Solids, small polka dots, diagonal stripes, small repeating shapes, subtle plaids and paisleys are all acceptable.

Belts: Belts should match your shoes. Those with smaller buckles with squared lines look more professional.
Socks: Black socks are the best, followed by blue or gray, depending on your attire. Never wear white socks! Check your sock length, too- -no skin should show when you sit down or cross your legs. Shoes. Black or burgundy leather shoes with laces on them, because tassel loafers are very casual. Other suitable colors are brown, cordovan and navy. Hair. Keep neat, short and preferably parted on the side. And shave off all those facial hair.

Accessories: As much as possible, use folders to hold copies of your resume. Make sure that all your certificates (original & at least 3 copies Xerox) are with you.

WOMEN
   Light colour Punjabi suits, with the chunni preferably pinned, (trying to fix the chunni is a distraction in the interview process).

Hair: Hair longer than shoulder length should be worn up or pulled back. Don’t let it fall in front of your face and don’t keep trying to fix it during the interview. Avoid large hair ornaments and trendy hairstyles.

Make-up: Be subtle; natural is the key word. Light shades of lip coloring and nail polish are recommended.

Jewellery: Be conservative. Studs of gold, silver or pearls are best. Do away with gaudy fashion jewelers, and those that clank and make noise when one moves.

Accessories: Folders and bags should blend well with the total professional look.

WOMEN		MEN
* Solid color, conservative suit, saree, chudidhar etc. * Coordinated blouse * Moderate sandals * Limited jewelry * Neat, professional hairstyle * Tan or light hosiery * Sparse make-up & perfume * Manicured nails * Portfolio or briefcase

Seven Tips for Good Career

1. Know Thyself!
Not everyone is good in each and every field. Each one of us has our fortes and weaknesses too. But that’s not a stumbling block! What we look for are people who know their area of specialization and are an expert in it. Therefore, it pays to be a master in some fields if not the jack of all. The most common mistakes many make is to profess knowing a field of which they know little about. Remember that huge and bulky resumes are as tough to read as they are to make. So, identify your skill set, and keep your resumes simple and straight. Know your limits and polish on your strengths.

2. Testing what you know and NOT what you Don’t.
Many interviewers may ask the student the subjects that she/he wishes to be interviewed upon. Answer this wisely! Never end up choosing a difficult subject that you know only little about, rather choose the one you are most confident of.

3. Rack Your Brain – Analyze
     The interview is not just limited to testing your knowledge base, but we are also interested in knowing your ability to apply it. Often questions that need to be solved then and there are asked. Now keep in mind – the right answer is not the only thing being looked at. The focus area is also the way in which you attack the problem i.e. approach to problem solving is equally important. So, remember to put your thinking caps on!
4. Ask for Help!      Remember the interviewers is not there to grill the confidence out of you, but to bring forth the best in. just in case you are stuck, ask for a hint(of course, don’t try this too often!)!. Things might just click. Also, stay alert for clues.
5. What are your biggest accomplishments      You may like to begin your reply with: “Although I feel my biggest achievements are still ahead of me, I am proud of my involvement with ….. I made my contribution as part of that team and learnt a lot in the process”.
It will be a good idea to close your answer with also specifying what attributes and circumstances made you succeed.
6. Be Calm, have Clear Verbal and Sound Non-Verbal Communication      Calmness shows emotional maturity. A clear verbal communication implies clarity of the thought process. One should also watch out for the impressions made in non-verbal communications. Body language and facial expressions can assist you in establishing a good rapport with the interviewer. Pauses, silences and gestures may all indicate what you mean, or would like to emphasize.
7. Two-Way Exchange Process      The interview process is a two-way exchange of information. Make sure you also understand about the company, its activities, job requirements. The company is in need for good candidates and you need a good company to launch your career. Interview is an opportunity to present yourself and your skills to your best advantage. Make sure you make the most out of it. And YOU are the best one to do it!!

A Career in Ethical Hacking

Ethical hackers prevent us from hacking and the hacker activities. In a true sense hacking was a harmless activity, but later associated with crime and criminals. Companies employ ethical hackers to test system security and report problems without taking any advantage. Ethical hacker is sometimes called a white hat and an unethical hacker is called a black hat. White hats try to break the system to fix the problem where as black hats break the system for financial benefit.

For hacking to be deemed ethical, the hacker must obey certain rules.
1. Hacker must have permission to probe the network and attempt to identify security risks.
2. Must respect the individual's or company's privacy and only go looking for security issues.
3. Must report all security vulnerabilities detected to the company, not leaving anything open for someone else to come in at a later time.
4. Must let the software developer or hardware manufacturer know about any security vulnerabilities located in their software or hardware if not already known by the company.
The work that ethical hackers do for organizations has helped improve system security and is quite successful.

The main advantage ethical hacking is that companies are able to pay computer techs to attack their own system to learn where the weak spots are. This prevents identity theft and the leaking of vital information. When a company learns about security lacking in their system, it allows them to implement stronger security measures.

The disadvantage of ethical hacking is the temptation that arises from the knowledge that is gained. A person may be tempted to do something unethical for personal gain. Further disadvantages could lead to security breach and development of malicious viruses or malware.
The various types of hacking are e-mail hacking, google hacking, websites and databases hacking, windows passwords cracking, metasploit, wireless cracking, mobile hacking, etc. Various techniques implemented in hacking are:

1. Phishing:
It the act of attempting to acquire information such as usernames, passwords, and credit card details by masquerading as a trustworthy entity. Phishing emails may contain links to websites are infected malware. is typically carried out by email spoofing instant messaging, and it often directs users to enter details in a fake website whose look and feel almost identical the original site. Various Phishing techniques are Spear phishing, Clone phishing, Whaling etc.

2. Key logger:
        A logger a hardware device or a software program that records the real time activity of a computer user including the keyboard keys they press. Most key loggers allow not only keyboard keystrokes be captured but also are often capable of collecting screen captures from the computer. Key loggers are sometimes part of malware downloaded onto computers without the owners' knowledge. Detecting the presence of a key logger on a computer can be difficult. There are 2 types of key loggers: a. Software key logger
     i. Remote
     ii. Local b. Hardware key logger * Perfect key logger is software which captures the keystrokes on victim system. * www.blazingtools.com to detect if keylogger is present in the system.

3. Trojan horse:
A horse, or , is a hacking program which gains privileged access to the operating system, often including a backdoor allowing unauthorized access to the target's computer. do not attempt to inject themselves into other files like a computer virus. Trojan horses steal information, or harm their host computer systems. may use drive-by downloads install via online games or internet-driven applications in order to reach target computers. * Beast Trojan horse is software to create Trojan horses and to send to the victim system

4. Social engineering:
A It is a term that describes a non-technical kind of intrusion that relies heavily on human interaction and often involves tricking other people to break normal security procedures. It can be easier to trick people than to hack into computing systems by force. Social engineers get personal information or access to computing systems by exploiting people's natural tendency to want to trust and be helpful, and by taking advantage of our tendency to act quickly when faced with a crisis. Social Engineer commonly use email, the Internet, or the telephone to trick people into revealing sensitive information or get them to do something that is against policy. Some different types of social engineering are: * Spam scams/phishing: through e-mails, steal personal or private information or passwords, or trick you out of money. * Impersonation: attackers pose as someone in authority, or an IT representative, in order to obtain information or direct access to systems. For targeted attacks, hackers will even go through dumpsters or do other research so they know enough to convince you to trust them.

BNC:
A (short for ) is a piece of software that is used to relay traffic and connections in computer networks, much like a proxy. Using a BNC allows a user to hide the original source of the user's connection, providing privacy well as the ability to route traffic through a specific location. A BNC also be used to hide the true target to which a user connects. * Tomodo firewall and zone alarm firewall are the 2 firewalls which can help the victim to close all the proxy paths. * www.whatismyip.com to show the original public ip address * www.proxy.org show 1000’s of proxy’s that a hacker can use to hide his public ip address. * www.newipnew.com to get new proxy ip address * Tor software is used to create chain of proxy addresses * www.sectools.org to download ip bouncers by hackers * Cavaj is a decompiler of java which gives source code by inputting .class file * Havij is an advanced SQL injection tool used by hackers to extract data from database by copying URL of a website. Make sure the sites are not venerable to hackers. * Wireshark software is the best sniffer (a technique that captures packets over network) in the world, which can show the various operations performed on a webpage.
Key stroke is the most frequently used hacking technique by level – 1 hacker.

Higher Studies

Civil Engineering is one of the primitive engineering fields which involves projecting, scheming and implementing structural bodies. Amongst all branches of engineering, the range and application of civil engineering is the broadest and the most visible. From being a less fancied branch of study some years ago, civil engineering is back in the spotlight

          Civil Engineering is the key to many of the issues affecting our lives today. They solve problems, design, build and maintain our living and working spaces. You might design a new stadium, work on a local by-pass or railway line, assess a damaged structure, provide immediate and safe drinking water to a refugee camp, or manage a multi-million pound construction project.
      In fact, the entire infrastructural framework of a modern nation is the creation of civil engineers. The credit of building mighty power plants, dams, airports, sea ports, highways, inland waterways and industrial plants goes to civil engineers. These professionals are also engaged in building an unending array of urban structures such as commercial complexes, skyscrapers, tunnels, bridges, roads, urban rapid transport systems, sports stadium, aerodromes, water works, harbours.
      A good Civil engineer must have a strong engineering knowledge combined with excellent supervisory and administrative skills. The planning part of their work involves site investigation, feasibility studies, creating solutions to complications that may occur and the actual designing of structures.
      Opportunities are aplenty for higher studies also, which also has many takers. One could go for M.Tech. or MS abroad after B.Tech. Students who have passed both B.Tech. and M.Tech. are appointed as consultants in construction industry. A structural consultant should have higher qualifications. Entrepreneurship is another area where civil engineers could try their hand.

Working domain
       Most of the times, civil engineers work in teams or in coordination with many other engineers. They can find work as a supervisor of a construction site or a managerial position or in design, research as well as teaching in government services or private concerns. They can also work as independent consultants.

Eligibility
      The minimum eligibility for doing undergraduate program i.e. BE/B.Tech in Civil Engineering is + 2 Science with Physics, Chemistry and Math’s. The selection is generally made on the basis of entrance tests (e.g. IITJEE, AIEEE, BITSAT etc.) conducted at both national and state level. One can also continue his/her study further by joining ME/M.Tech programs offered by various engineering colleges/ universities including the IITs and NITs.

Job Opportunity
     Civil engineering is a professional engineering discipline that deals with the design, construction and maintenance of the physical and naturally built environment, including works such as bridges, roads, canals, dams and buildings. Civil engineering is the oldest engineering discipline after military engineering, and it was defined to distinguish it from military engineering. It is traditionally broken into several sub-disciplines including environmental engineering, geotechnical engineering, structural engineering, transportation engineering, water resources engineering, materials engineering, coastal engineering, surveying, and construction engineering. Civil engineering takes place on all levels: in the public sector from municipal through to federal levels, and in the private sector from individual homeowners through to international companies.

The First Ever Green Branch Mechanical

The research areas and their key subjects of focus are:

Mechanics
Modelling, experimentation, and computation (MMEC) – Advances the formulation of physical and mathematical theories for representing the thermo-mechanical response of natural and engineering materials (solids and fluids) at the Nano, micro, and macro-scales using modelling, experimentation, and computational methodologies. Develop novel computational tools for the robust design and optimization of the variety of thermo-mechanically coupled processes used to manufacture components and devices from these materials.

Design, manufacturing, and product development

Advances the designs and methods used to manufacture products, to precision consumer products.

Controls, instrumentation, and robotics

Develop automated systems and the robotic technologies which might be used in medicine and in space and sea exploration.

Energy science and engineering

    Fundamental and applied research in thermodynamics, reactive flows and combustion, heat and mass transport, micro and nanotechnologies, photovoltaic, off-shore wind energy, engines and transportation, cryogenics, and efficient buildings. Focus on high efficiency low emission systems, CO₂ capture and renewable energy.

Mechanical engineering varies from Industrial engineering and Production Engineering

    Mechanical engineering aims to technical or machine-oriented aspects such as design, operation and maintenance. Industrial Engineering aims at human resources in companies in areas such as planning, production, organization, methods.

    Industrial engineering is a branch of engineering dealing with the optimization of complexprocesses or systems It is concerned with the development, improvement, implementation and evaluation of integrated systems of people, money, knowledge, information, equipment, energy, materials, analysis and synthesis, as well as the mathematical, physical and social sciences together with the principles and methods of engineering design to specify, predict, and evaluate the results to be obtained from such systems or processes. Its underlying concepts overlap considerably with certain business-oriented disciplines such as operations management, but the engineering side tends to emphasize extensive mathematical proficiency and usage of quantitative methods.

Depending on the sub specialties involved, industrial engineering may also be known as, or overlap with, operations management, management science, operations research, systems engineering, manufacturing engineering, ergonomics or human factors engineering, safety engineering, or others, depending on the viewpoint or motives of the user. For example, in health care, the engineers known as health management engineers or health systems engineers are, in essence, industrial engineers by another name.

  Production engineering is a combination of manufacturing technology with management science. A production engineer typically has a wide knowledge of engineering practices and is aware of the management challenges related to production. The goal is to accomplish the production process in the smoothest, most-judicious and most-economic way.

Production engineering encompasses the application of castings, machining processing, joining processes, metal cutting & tool design, metrology, machine tools, machining systems, automation, jigs and fixtures, and die and mould design and material science and design of automobile parts and machine designing and manufacturing. Production engineering also overlaps substantially with manufacturing engineering and industrial engineering.
    In industry, once the design is realized, production engineering concepts regarding work study, ergonomics, operation research, manufacturing management, materials management, production planning, etc., play important roles in efficient production processes. These deal with integrated design and efficient planning of the entire manufacturing system, which is becoming increasingly complex with the emergence of sophisticated production methods and control systems.
    Every branch of engineering has its own specific importance in industry and to the development of it.

Mechanical Engineering Good for girls?
     Mechanical engineering is good for girls as good as for boys.It is a common misunderstanding that mechanical engineering requires hard physical work and women are not up-to the mark. Well as it is said it is a misunderstanding.
     The thing is that some times during your engineering course you may be required to put some physical efforts in practicals. After completion of course you may proceed in your career where no physical efforts are required, for example in the education sector as lecturer or as design engineer, or as an analyst etc.
Don't Hesitate. If you love it, do it.

Higher Education

     The department of Mechanical engineering always empowers students to pursue higher education both in our country and abroad.The major tests for higher education in INDIA are Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE). GATE is an all India examination that primarily tests the comprehensive understanding of various undergraduate subjects in Engineering and Technology. Being conducted by IISC and the IIT’s, GATE is proven to be the toughest exam in technical education in INDIA.
     The GATE score of a candidate reflects the relative performance level of a candidate. The score is used for admissions to various post-graduate programmes (eg. M.E., M.Tech, direct Ph.D.) in Indian higher education institutes with financial assistance provided by MHRD and other Government agencies. The score may also be used by Public sector units for employment screening purposes.
     Having good professors in the department who have studied abroad,will also aid in building the confidence and the mind-set of the student.to prepare them for higher education to countries like USA, UK, Australia and Germany.
