IEEE SB TKMCE

It has been 35 exuberant years since IEEE first entered the portals of TKMCE. The pedigree of TKMCE SB is enormous since its inauguration on 22nd November 1986 and it has always been on the right track in exploring and exploiting technology for the benefit of humanity. The voyage of TKMites in the ocean of IEEE has been eventful with many prestigious awards and rewards to their credit. Adding a golden feather to its cap, the Student Branch won the Region10 Exemplary Student Branch Award 2010 for the third best student branch in the Asia-Pacific Region. Retaining the crowned glory, we had the honour of hosting the Asia focused ISGT 2011 India, International Conference. Combining the guidance of the best of faculty members and the prowess of an active group of student members, we are sure to scale greater heights. Over the past three decades, we have conducted a multitude of events in various categories from technical and managerial events to educational and social events with humanitarian benefits. We also have fun events like technical fests and mesmerizing IEEE Day celebrations. We currently have active PES, RAS, CS, SPS, IES, and IAS chapters, WIE Affinity Group, and a Special Interest Group SIGHT.
