At SDM Since 1987: Twenty Two years at SDMCET

It was this day in 1987. I came to Dharwad to join as a computer operator in the department of Computer Science and Engineering. At that time CSE was part of E & C department headed by Prof. B N Devraj and Principal Prof. G.Purushothama. The CSE department had just started B E in computer science and engineering affiliated to Karnatak University, Dharwad and the first batch had just completed first year and had entered department for thier second year. The current BSL( Basic Skills Lab) was the computer centre housing 7-terminal NELCO system running on Unix OS.

The first assignment given to me was to set up login account creation for students and then class strength was just 27. Pascal was the programming language.

Immediately after the joining, I was sent for a training on UNIX system at NELCO, Mumbai. Thus began my professional career, since then I have undergone a number of training and presented papers in various conferences. I have visited to countries such as Nepal, Singapore, Scotland, Switzerland and visited homes of many alumni in those countries: Rasika Deshpande ( in Orlton, Switzerland, Harish Katti , Singapore, Nikhil in Kathmandu Nepal) to name few. It has been great experience and eventful 22 years in this esteemed institute.
