On 8-Feb-2024, the hallowed halls of the Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (EEE) of Assam Don Bosco University School of Technology reverberated with pride as they welcomed back one of their own—Mr. Kuldeep Deka, a distinguished alumnus from the B.Tech. 2015 batch. Mr. Deka's recent triumph in the Assam Public Service Commission Combined Competitive Exam (APSC CCE-2022) has not only brought honor to his alma mater but also underscored the university's commitment to nurturing exceptional talent.
Mr. Deka, hailing from the picturesque Tezpur district of Assam, secured an impressive 12th rank in the coveted post of Inspector of Excise. His journey to this achievement was marked by unwavering dedication and a well-thought-out approach. Speaking at the felicitation ceremony, the Head of the EEE department, Dr. Bikramjit Goswami, expressed his elation on behalf of the entire department. Professor Shakuntala Laskar from the department fondly recollects the student-days of Mr. Kuldeep Deka, emphasizing his polite demeanor and exemplary behavior. Professor Laskar extends her best wishes to Mr. Deka as he embarks on his public service duties, urging him to uphold dignity and care for the people. A total of 19 students from B.Tech. 6th semester along with the staff & faculty members of the department attended the session.
In an engaging interaction with the students, Mr. Deka generously shared insights from his preparation strategy. His advice resonated with wisdom: “Begin your APSC preparation early, allowing ample time to focus on weaker areas. Understand the APSC Exam Pattern thoroughly and choose your optional subjects wisely. But most importantly, create a personalized study schedule, making sure to allow enough time for each topic and to include regular review sessions”.
While replying to one of the students queries regarding current affairs preparations, Mr. Deka emphasized the gravity, “Updating your knowledge of current events will help you comprehend general studies subjects more thoroughly. In addition, you should practise answering questions in writing to enhance your articulation and time management abilities. The APSC exam assesses candidates’ awareness of the world around them, their ability to analyze current events, and their capacity to make informed decisions. An administration official needs to make the right decision for the city, state and country as a whole and has multiple responsibilities to carry on with. The decision can make or spoil the community at large; so knowing about the current happenings, public servants can take the right decision”.
Mr. Kuldeep Deka's achievement adds another feather to the EEE department's cap. He joins a select group of alumni who have cleared the APSC CCE, reinforcing the university's commitment to excellence. It is worthwhile to mention that Mr. Kuldeep is the fourth alumnus from EEE department who has cleared APSC CCE.
As Assam Don Bosco University continues to nurture bright minds, Mr. Deka's success serves as an inspiration—a testament to the power of perseverance, knowledge, and principled leadership. The university community celebrates this milestone and eagerly awaits the impact Mr. Deka will make in his new role.
