Professional Body Chapters & Clubs

An active Parent Teacher Association functions in this college. Its Objective is to promote the holistic development of the students. The PTA has instituted many awards, prizes and scholarships for students with a view to encourage and promote excellence in academic and other areas.

The Annual body meeting of PTA was held and members to the executive committee were elected. After the general body meeting the executive committee had elected Mr. Vinod T as the Vice President and Mr. Vasudevan M., the Secretary.

As an initiative to the National Mission for a Green India (GIM), The Ministry of Environment has approved annual plans for four states of the country. The National Executive Council (NEC) has given its nod to the Perspective Plans (PP) and Annual Plan of Operations (APOs) of Kerala, Mizoram, Manipur and Jharkhand. Kerala in the only state in the southern part of India, to be recognized, for Go Green Initiatives. It has become the need of the hour to have our share of creating awareness to save our environment for our future generation. Present students are the future flag holders for our Nation. Now, the seed we sow in them will become a good output to protect our environment and make our Nation proud. This Go Green Club of our college was inaugurated by the Honourable District Collector of Kannur District; Mr. Mir Mohammed Ali, IAS., on 03-04-2017, Monday.

The Aim of our club is to motivate and encourage the students to value and assume responsibility of their Environment, to strengthen positive thinking and collaboration among students and to develop life skills like communication, interpersonal relationship, decision making, critical thinking and self management. The objectives of the club are to increase the students’ knowledge about understanding the environment and environmental challenges, to create awareness about, energy usage and energy savings, to create the habit of Go Green, in the campus and in the society, through students, contribute to the International days and other activities organized by the College.

Presently Prof. Dr. Vra. Saathappan, Professor of Civil Engineering is the President of the Club. All students and staff (teaching, non-teaching, administrative, maintenance) are members of the Go Green Club.

Indian Concrete Institute is one of the leading professional bodies in India, catering to the professional needs of individuals and organisations involved in Concrete. Being a non-profit Organisation, it is dedicated to the cause of Disseminating Knowledge on Concrete, to Promote Concrete Technology and Construction and to address the Research Needs of Concrete. The Genesis of ICI dates back to the year 1982, when SERC Chennai and Anna University jointly conducted an International Seminar on Modern Concrete Construction Practices. The overwhelming response to the seminar prompted the Organisers to start the Indian Concrete Institute. Thus, the ICI was born in 1982 with around 500 members from 5 regional Centres. Today ICI is a strong professional body having more than 13, 000 enrolled members, from 45 regional Centres in all major cities, spread across the entire length and breadth of the country. Of these, more than 363 are Organisational Members.

The Civil Department of VJEC has started student’s chapter of Indian Concrete Institute (India), with membership number 13710 on March 2023.

Production Engineering is a combination of manufacturing technology with management science. A production engineer typically has a wide knowledge of engineering practices and is aware of the management challenges related to production. The goal is to accomplish the production process in the smoothest, most-judicious and most-economic way.

IIPE is a Premier Body of Indian Manufacturing Professionals. Its Aim is to serve the manufacturing fraternity- whether you are an engineer or an accountant or even a medical doctor, but engaged in some way contributing to the manufacturing and technology excellence of the country. We aim to provide a platform for networking and knowledge sharing ,accessible among our student community. Department has received Certification of IIPE Chapter, Reg.No. S/OE/9453, as an organisational member with effect from June 2016.

Founded in 1952 with the formation of IRE’s (the Institute of Radio Engineers) Professional Group on Communications Systems (PGCS), IEEE Communications Society has evolved into a diverse group of global industry professionals with a common interest in advancing all communications technologies. Members interact across international and technological borders to:

• produce publications
• organize conferences
• foster educational programs
• promote local activities
• work on technical committees

IEEE gives its members guidance to plot career path, track jobs, to conduct local events and conferences and also enable member to member communication. Since the Communications Society (ComSoc) began operations in January 1972 as an independent Society of The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) with over 8,800 members, ComSochas become the premier international forum for the exchange of ideas on communications technologies and information networking.

The students chapter of IEEE in VimalJyothi became active on 10th April 2015 and was inaugurated by Dr. JitendranathMungara, currently working as Dean, PG studies – R V College of Engineering, Bangalore. As of January 2016, VJEC COMSOC SOCIETY has around 30+ student members.The society conducted a wide variety of programs in last year and also took part in various activities in the communication field. Through the different technical activities of this chapter- engineering students, researchers, academicians, industry employers are benefited immensely and got the opportunity to closely interact with each other.

The motive of this society was to provide encouragement to develop applications in the respective area of study. It consistsof a diverse group of industry professionals with a common interest in advancing all communications technologies. The Society sponsors publications, conferences, educational programs, local activities, and technical committees that foster original work in all aspects of communications science, engineering, and technology. It also encourages the development of applications that use signals to transfer voice, data, image, and/or video information between locations.It promotes the theory and use of systems involving all types of terminals, computers, and information processors; all pertinent systems and operations that facilitate transfer; all transmission media; switched and unswitched networks; and network layouts, protocols, architectures, and implementations.

The Institution of Electronics and Telecommunication Engineers (IETE) is India's leading recognized professional society devoted to the advancement of Science and Technology of Electronics, Telecommunication & IT. Founded in 1953, it serves more than 60,000 members through 65 centers, spread all over India and abroad. The Institution provides leadership in Scientific and Technical areas of direct importance to the national development and economy. Government of India has recognized IETE as a Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (SIRO) and also notified as an educational Institution of national eminence. The objectives of IETE focus on advancing electro-technology. The IETE conducts and sponsors technical meetings, conferences, symposia, and exhibitions all over India, publishes technical journals and provides continuing education as well as career advancement opportunities to its members.
