Two months in ncst...

hello friends...
In this post i will share my views on ncst.Until now i have stayed more than 2 months in ncst.
In the starting of this course i feared whether i would be able to complete this course or not.I practiced a lot in the starting one month of the course.I came from a non IT back ground so i feel difficult to program in the starting.But soon i started to feel it easy as i slowly started to complete assignments which are their in opad book.After clearing the first mgpa i feel it was so easy and i though i would be able to complete this course.But i failed in second mgpa due to lack of practice.I did not practiced much after first mgpa.In second mgpa i have completed the total logic part with in 20 min's but i dont know how to compare two strings in that time.I have compared directly by using equal to sign and so i lost the second mgpa.After that i have read the string functions and i came to know that because of a simple mistake i lose the mgpa.I feel very bad and i started to practice for third mgpa.The theory classes conducted by raman sir and balaji sir on java and data structures are very good.So that i can understand some concepts of java.But i did not understand some concepts of java.But their is no time to read it once again due to mgpa.This mgpa's made me to read and practice the subject well.If this mgpa's are not their i may not study well in the course.Every one will study in the last for a final exam if their are no mgpa's.But i feel this course is little bit fast for me.I had no touch of books for two years before joining in ncst s that it becomes very difficult for me to adjust with the classes in the starting. When raman sir taught about the stacks,queues i understand the concept well in the class.But when he thought link list for the first time i could not understand any thing in that class.As the concept of reference is started in the link list i could not understand it.But after the class i practiced that program for five times.Even after practicing that many times i could not clear that concept that day but i understand the program.In the next day i read a about the link list and then i did that same program which i have did the previous day.Then i cleared the concept of reference in java.I have cleared six out of ten mgpa's in that three mgpa's went to to simple mistakes.I lost sixth and seventh mgpa due to lack of practice .But i have enjoyed a lot in this two months in ncst.Now i have to pass in quiz and mgpt which are very near .This two months in ncst went very fast.The last mfcs class is the difficult class for me to attend in this two months.I have no touch of maths after my 10 th.But here i have to study automata which is much difficult for me.But i am trying to pass the exam which will be on 17 th of this month.In the tcom class i came to know that my pronunciation is not so good.I can talk English fast but not fluently because i hardly speaks English in the last two years.But totally in this two months i have learnt a lot not only of subject but also how to behave with the people from different regions.
OK friends that's for this post ..have a nice day --)

My first interview...

hello friends...
In this post i will tell about my first interview in my life.
I have did my industrial training in a company named viesteon which is in Chennai.Actually we have do a four months industrial training in the last semester of the course while studying in nttf.Our placements will start from April or may.SO my course coordinator called me and asked me to attend the interview in Bangalore.So i started from Chennai and reached Bangalore by train.I suffered a lot while travelling from Chennai to Bangalore i did not got reservation.The interview is in the NTTF center which is in electronic city in Bangalore.I had arrived hosur the day before the interview and i had stayed in my friend room their.In the morning i went to the nttf center which is in electronic city.It was only 40 Min's journey from hosur to reach electronic city.Their are many students waiting in front of the interview hall when i reached their.I become little nervous by seeing nearly 70 to 80 people their and that to its my first interview.After an hour the interview starts.In the staring the interviewer gave a brief introduction about the company and the job profile which we are suppose to do if we have selected.Main thing in the condition he told was the bond.If we are selected we have to write a bond for 5 years.I though not to attend after listening to the condition of the bond.My brother had told not to write any bond in any company.Even then i though about the interview it is my first one.So i thought to attend the interview for getting the experience for the next interview.After introduction about the company the interview starts.First we have a written test and then personal interview.I had not written the first test well as i did not prepared any thing before the interview.But i attend the interview to for an experience.It was a little tough for me to write the first test but some how i managed to test.After completing the first test,all the students are in tension as it is the first interview for every one their.Finally after 2 hours of waiting the interviewer announced the result.Before announcing the result he said not to get depressed if their name is not their in the selected candidates list.I remembered every word he said that day before announcing the names.He started announcing the names one by one who got selected in the interview.But my name is not their in that list.I felt so depressed after announcing the result.I called immediately to my dad and told about the result then he said not to worry.He said so many things that time but i am not in a mood to lesion that time.I was totally depressed even though i attend the interview for a experience.
But after some time i thought that if i have selected their i mau be forced to write a bonmd for 5 years which is more worst than not selected in that job.So what ever happen is good for me...
Have a nice day..

My view on PLC

hello friends..
In this post i will share my views on plc's.Plc means programmable logical controllers.They are widely used in industry for automation.Plc basically contains a dsp chip as a main controller.This plc should be programmed according to our requirement by the software provided by the manufacturer of that particular plc.Almost every plc will have a separate programming software which will be different to others.But the basic instructions will remain same.Mainly the complex instructions will be more distinct with one another.The Siemens, GEFanuc and Allen Bradley plc are used mostly all over the world.Theses plc's are very robust and rugged compared to other manufacturers.Basically a plc is more rugged in nature compare to the controllers.The controller boards are not mush rugged to the harsh industrial environment.The ic's in a controller board will not operate for a long time due to some reasons.That to programming a controller is much tough and time consuming process compared to programming a plc.Because the plc programmable software which will be provided by the manufacturer is so easy to program.Only the programmer should know the basic instructions and the basic functions of that particular plc to program a plc.Where as for programming a controller he should know about the archithure of the controller and all the pin configuration about the particular controller.Basically the plc also contains a dsp processor which is also a controller.But in plc the dsp processor will be programmed using a separate software which will be the front end for the user.In the back end the program which is programmed by using the software provided by the manufacturer is converted to assembly language program by using some compilers which will not be visible to the user.Also the circuit for a plc is designed more carefully such that it should have noise immunity,less power dissipation etc...Usually the plc will be having an input and output isolation so that what ever happened in the output of the plc will not effect the input.The plc should have a proper quality certification for entry in the market.Usually people will make controller boards by them only for a special purpose,but plc's are made for as common for many processes.Also the PLC's will have proper colling and noise resistance property.Now a days the every plc manufacturers are coming up with scada software along with the plc.By using scada the user can monitor all the inputs and outputs in the plc.So suppose an input fails he can immediately replace it with a new one with out troubleshooting.The man machine interface will be more with scada.scad provides a GUI for the events running in a particular machine.At the start the user need to program the scada an plc according to his purpose and requirement.Ones he programed it can be used through out its life.Mostly the plc s used will work continuously for many years with any problems.Now a days every industry is prefer scada , because the user can monitor the operations of the
machine by sitting in a common room which contains all the information about the machines.All the machines in an industry can be connected to a common source and can be acceded from any where of the world by using scada.It is basically a piece of software just resembles a networking software.The machine's connected with scada can be resembles with a group of computers connected in a network.In network the server has all rights to view any location in its client.Same way the scada software also works.But the plc should be compatible with scada.Now a days all most every manufacturer of scada are proving their software which will be compatible for different plcs.Because of this scada a single person can control all the machines inside a big industry.
OK friends that's for now..have nice day..

About my batch mates in NTTF

hello friends...
In this post i will tell about my friends in NTTF .Our batch has 7 people from andhrapradesh and 38 members from kerala.In this post i will tell about that six people from andhrapradesh excluding me.

My industrail training in chennai

hello friends ....
I have done my industrial training in a company named visteon in Chennai which is located inside the ford campus along with my friend.Visteon is a big mnc company which is having manufacturing plants in 14 different countries.I went to chennai for industrail traning on feb 4th of 2005 along with my friend.In the first day we are suppose to meet miss kamakshi who is HR of the company.But she was busy that day so we waited for the until the evening.Its was a bad experience in my life as i did not taken any break fast or lunch that day.Finally at the evening we met her and then she introduced to MR.Rajesh kannan who is the maintenance manager in that company.After that we went back to the hotel which we had taken in the morning.By 6 we got fresh up at got out from the hotel in search of the room.We roamed many places in Tambaram (a place in Chennai) for room.But we did not got the suitable room so we decided to stay in a mansion which is on the main road. We are in general shift while training , so we are suppose to come by 7 'o clock in the morning to the company.So daily i used to got up by 6'o clock in the morning and got ready by 6.30am.At 6.30 am their is a company bus from tambaram to the company.Actually our mansion is 20 km far from the company.So daily we two used to go to the company by that company bus.At the stating we have no work other than watching the operations which were going their.This ranks second in manufacturing of the automobile parts.Mainly the operation of the injection molding machines are very amazing to see, as a big robot is used to unload the component from the machines.After some days we got a project to do.That was my first project which i have handled alone as my friend used to go to home for every 3 days.That project is to move the cylinder forward and backward according to the operator convenience for different moulds. The operator will connect the input and output channels of the cylinder and he will set a number in the control panel.Then ones he switches on the machine the cylinder which is inside the mould will move forward and backward according to the number which was given by the operator.We had completed this project with in 20 days.After completing the project we were again free for some days and after that i started working along with the maintenance department as it is also a chance for me to learn new things.In the weekends i used to roam on mount road and in many places.I used to see many movies while i was in Chennai for training.We used to go to the beach on every alternative week.Even in summer i have enjoyed a lot in Chennai.
OK friends that's about my industrial training in Chennai.
Have a nice day....

My friends in Coimbatore

hello friends......
In this blog i will tell about my friends in Coimbatore.I have lots of friends in Coimbatore as i have stayed for 5 years.While i am studying in NTTF i have no friends from out side the institute other than the friends inside which are studying with me.My batch consists of 45 members while i am studying NTTF.My batch was a typical batch as it has no one from Tamil nadu.Of 45 members 7 are from andhra pradesh and all other 38 members are from kerala.At the staring of the course i don't no Malayalam or Tamil so i have interacted with them only in English.But soon with in 2 months i have learnt Malayalam and i started talking in Malayalam which is mother tongue of the other people from kerala.It is easy to make friends,if we speak in their own mother tongue.While studying in the NTTF i have learnt tamil.But i am not fluent in tamil as i have not got chance to speake in tamil inside the campus as all my batch mates are from kerala and andhra pradesh.I will speak tamil only with the bus conductors and other when i was out of the insitiute.After getting job i have improved my Tamil a lot.In company i have to talk in tamil as it was the local language their,and most of the employes are from tamilnadu. While working i got three good friends namely sarathy,ramesh and mahaswaran. This three are from coimbatore.They know about all places in and around the coimbatore.At the stating sarathy helped a lot for searching a room and for get settled with the company. I did not know coimbatore well until i was in NTTF. So it become dificult to get a room and get adjusted at the staring.I have got selected in that company by campus interview along with one more student from my batch and three from tuticorn center of NTTF.We have campus interviews in common among all the centers of the NTTF which are conducting a particular course.I used to roam many places in around of Coimbatore with ramesh as he knows almost every place their.We all used to go to different hotels in the weekends.I have enjoyed a lot while working in that company. Both mahaswaran and saraty used tell many jokes and their experiences every day.They both used to come to my room daily as it is on the way to their houses.Actually they both belongs to a place called sulur which is also a part of Coimbatore but it was little far from the main city. Ramesh is also belong to a remote place in Coimbatore.Even then they all used to come to my room and we all enjoyed a lot.We all used to play cricket on every Sunday morning in school near by.But after one and half year all the three left the company,as they got a good job in some other company.But i have enjoyed a lot in the Coimbatore with my friends.
That's about my friend in Coimbatore...Have a nice day....
