SAM PRESIDENTS’ LETTER
The big news is that the SCAs will
now start getting a degree in mechanical engineering. They will no longer need
to be defensive about their qualifications. We thank the Board (MM) for this
historic agreement for a collaborative degree programme.
The
strength of SCAs having reduced to eleven in May ’99, is now back to nineteen.
Eight SCAs of 1998 batch joined in July ’99. This is the first batch to join
after the resumption of recruitment and selection by UPSC. And with
recruitments continuing, the numbers will further increase.
At this juncture, the untimely death of Mr.
and Mrs. Vij, ’62, is a big loss for Gymkhana and for all of us. Mr. Vij in his
three years’ tenure as Director, IRIMEE, had worked ceaselessly to strengthen
the Institute and Gymkhana. We have continued and shall continue to move along
the path shown by him to make the IRIMEE of his dreams.
