Dear Readers,

The University has won numerous awards, accolades and achievements this year, and this issue of HCELLENCE lists out the same. This couldn’t have been possible without the good spirits of the management, staff and students. They have put in their best efforts and will hopefully continue to do so in the future as well.

We are pleased with the calibre we have reached and of course, we are looking it to make our merits bigger and better in the next academic year.

Furthermore, I would like to give a special mention to the students in the Editorial team who have done a great job in compiling this edition.

The object of education is to prepare the young to educate themselves throughout their lives.

-Robert M. Hutchins

Education plays a major role in one’s life. Imparting education to the present youth is a challenging task because they are more exposed to the modern technologies through various resources available outside the academic arena. They acquire boundless knowledge outside the classroom. Hence it becomes a herculean effort to captivate the young ones in the class. However this challenge can be successfully faced by providing a congenial environment, modern teaching aids, experienced teaching community and individual attention to students.

The prime objective of any educational institution is to mould its students as ideal and successful social citizens. In order to realize this objective, our Founder Chairman, Dr. K.C.G. Verghese established the Hindustan Group of Institutions with a vision, “To Make Every Man a Success and No Man a Failure.” Hindustan University functions on the basis of the vision of our Founder Chairman. The education provided in Hindustan University is for a lifetime. The curricula and syllabi of the University focus on providing an education which will help the students to overcome challenges that they face in their professional and personal life. The Memoranda of Understanding, the University has signed with various prestigious international universities and multinational companies offer the faculty and students an opportunity to interact and gain a vast knowledge in their respective fields of specialization. Hindustan University also encourages its students to participate in various international competitions, thereby providing them a global exposure.

During the academic year 2013-14, Hindustan University has taken remarkable strides and progress, aiming at a peak performance in the years to come. I congratulate the editorial team of HCELLENCE ’14 for recording the path tread by Hindustan University during the academic year 2013-14.

I am really happy to note that this academic year was an eventful one and the institution has won several awards and accolades to its credit. Few of the prominent awards received by the institution are the Worldwide Achievers Award 2014, during the India Education Excellences Award Programme 2014 for the outstanding service and contribution to the education sector, National Educational Excellence Award 2014 presented by Associated Chamber of Commerce & Industry (ASSOCHAM) India for the best B-School in South India and Campus Corporate 2013 Award for Hindustan University as the 2nd best institution in India.

It is a proud moment for the entire Hindustan Group of Institutions as it celebrates its 45 years of legacy in educational arena soaring forward with the vision of the Founder Chairman, Late Dr. KCG Verghese. This year will be etched in the history of HGI as a glorious one for it witnessed a dual accomplishment; the completion of 45 years of HIET and the inauguration of Hindustan International School at HIET Guindy Campus.

It is noteworthy to mention that several conferences and workshops were held both at the national and international levels at Hindustan University and several MoU’s were signed with reputed organisations. An important milestone of the institution of recent times is the fruition of the tripar tite agreement with Cranfield University, UK and MBDA for the joint development and delivery of academic programmes in the defence sector.

The Centre of Defence Technology Studies of Hindustan University has also introduced India’s first ever 2 year MBA Defence Technology Program in the Private sector.

The commendable feat of students participating in global competitions has been a regular feature at Hindustan University every year. The students have been achieving glory at international levels especially winning NASA competitions consecutively for the past three years, it needs a laudable appreciation. A unique achievement of the staff and students this year is that the Hindustan Mars Rover team contested in the finals of University Rover Challenge-2014 organized by Mars Society, USA at NASA’s Mars Desert Research Centre.

As you unfurl the pages of the HCELLENCE ‘14 magazine I’m sure it would provide an excellent reading related to the achievements and happenings of the entire academic year of all the departments in a nutshell. I congratulate the faculty, staff and students of Hindustan University for the successful completion of this academic year.

I also congratulate the editorial team for their exemplary work in bringing out this issue.

It gives me immense pleasure to know that Hindustan University is bringing out its annual magazine HCELLENCE’14. I understand that it is a testimonial document of the various achievements of the staff and students during this academic year. It is noteworthy to mention that there has been a flurry of academic initiatives this year by the institution. The focus this academic year was on achieving recognition of the institution at global level. With this aim Hindustan University has strengthened its partnership with leading organizations world wide. The institution aims at establishing itself as a globally acclaimed institution and leaves no stone unturned when it comes to identifying future critical research areas, exploring innovative curriculum and educational opportunities, academia-industry partnerships, staff and students exchange programmes etc.

Imparting quality education ofcourse has been an intensive drive this academic year. The initiatives taken on a war footing note by the University authorities to emphasize and focus on these aspects namely quality of facilities, quality of teaching , regular updation of courses, providing specialised and innovative curriculum. I’m proud to note that several special value added courses have been incorporated into the curriculum to match the expectations of the employment sector thereby bridging the gaps in Industry-Institution interface and to address the issue of low employability.

I am glad that the institution has won several awards reiterating its stance as one of the most sought after institution in India. Participation of our University staff members and students in international conferences, global competitions has given the institution opportune moments for exposure at global level.

It is heartening to note that this magazine serves as an important media to record the several recognitions and accomplishments by students and staff in curricular and co-curricular activities both at the national as well as international levels.
