The webinar on “How Students Can Benefit From Microsoft In Education” was organized by Asian College of Higher Studies on May 20, 2020. The resource person was Mr. Deependra Bajracharya, the Business Development Manager of Microsoft Operations Pte. Ltd.

Although, we all use different products of Microsoft in our daily life, we are not all aware about the plans, platforms and events provided by Microsoft. I think this session gave us the vision of how we could use Microsoft products to build a path to our career. He told us about the special plans for students such as Office 365 for Education where we can get free subscription of Microsoft office tools (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, Outlook) and services (OneDrive, Team, Sway, etc.), learning platform where students can practice Machine Learning, AI, and SQL Database projects in real time and Microsoft Startup plan. We also got to know about Microsoft Learn Student Ambassadors and also the competitive event, Imagine Cup where students can submit their project ideas and compete with the students from around the world. He also gave us the brief overview on how we can use the products and services online. He also cleared the doubts of the students in the QA (Question/Answer) part of session. Overall, this session was very informative and interactive. Attending this webinar was really beneficial.

Lastly, I would like to express my gratitude to the college administration for organizing the webinars to help students gain knowledge about different fields and platforms in IT and choose the right path for their career even in this pandemic situation. Also, I want to thank Mr. Deependra Bajracharya for providing us the information about Microsoft products and services and how we students can get the most from it.
Thank You!

An interactive session ,organized by our college mentored by Mr. Sachin Jung Karki on “Principles of Network and Cyber Security” turned out to be a prolific session for each of the IT enthusiast. Mr.Karki ,a certified Lead Auditor at IRCA, certified EC- council instructor and educator was truly able to widen our horizon of knowledge on such a topic that every person should be aware of.

Being IT student with the dream of having a successful career in Information Technology, we need to deal with various IT tools, ever updating technologies where we may face various security issues like hacking, cyber attacks and others. Such issues are growing on the same pace with the development of technologies. Purposefully, Mr.Karki had divided the 2 hours session into three sections with question answer round after the completion of each. In the session, he included: Core Concept of Information Security, Types of Security Attacks, Concept of Hackers and its Types, Cyber Attacks and its Types, Network Security Design and many
more. Hence, he session became interesting and interactive

Since the session was really worth learning, I would like to express my gratitude to the college administration for arranging such session in this difficult situation. Lastly, I would like to thank Mr. Sachin Jung Karki for spending his valuable time to share his knowledge.

1. Different types of hackers and their characteristics. 2. Different types of threats to the security. 3. Types of security attacks. 4. Ways to avoid the security vulnerability. 5. Details of the cyber security and to implement it.

For me personally, it was really helpful to know about the things that were completely unknown to me and had some misconceptions too. From this webinar, I was able to clear my doubts on certain topics due to which there is no any second thought of not being fruitful . He shared his experience and journey in the “Network and Cyber Security” field which was inspiring. So, I am really thankful for ACHS and Mr. Sachin Jung Karki for organizing this session by allocating time despite his busy schedule for us to learn. I am really delighted that I attend this session

This was held on 10th May, 2020 on Google Meet platform due to the COVID-19 quarantine situation. The Resource Person for this session was Mr. Rabin Gaire, who is presently working in Leapfrog technology Inc. as Software Engineer.

In his session Mr. Gaire discussed his journey and experience during his academics at ACHS and his curiosity towards new technology. He shared us his own experiences on how he grew his knowledge on coding by utilizing every second of his spare time. He also introduced us to his main formula in life “Learn Practice Repeat”. Mr. Gaire gave us tips on how learning can be easier with a mentor by one’s side and how teaching other can help a person grow their knowledge as well as themselves. As per him learning and working hard is essential part of student life as well as enjoying it, as it is the most precious time of a person.

At the end of this session, I along with all the participants got a boost on how to work on our goals in a better manner. And he was down to earth personality who shared all his experiences to from coding on lunch breaks to becoming a Software Engineer in Leapfrog Technology. This was a great lesson for everyone to work hard and have a good personality no matter how big one has become. I hope we have more sessions with him and get opportunity to learn more from him.

Our college has been organizing webinars for the past few weeks bringing people working in the IT industry. As soon as I saw the webinar notice of “Beyond Academics during Academics” by Rabin Gaire (Dai) on the college page, I was keen to attend the webinar. 

Personally, this was not the first time I was interacting with Rabin dai. He was one of the first seniors of my college whom I knew before joining college. Being an attendee of his workshops and getting to talk with him at a few Meetups and events I knew how humble and an inspiring person he was.

I was eager to listen to the journey where he carried himself equally ahead in shaping his professional career in spite of the regular university syllabus. When I enrolled in college, he was a final year student so didn’t get much chance to meet him inside the college so I was more interested to listen to his experience on college days.

As expected, the webinar turned out to be really well where he discussed his journey of working as intern in a startup to working as Software Engineer in one of the top IT companies of Nepal.

The talk was mainly focused on following topics : 

• -How one can shape professional career along with academics
• -How Nepalese IT Industry works
• -Experience of working as Intern in Startup to Software Engineer in one of the leading companies of Nepal
• -Practicing Open Source Culture 
• -Choosing the right tech stack 
• -Importance of Networking and bringing ahead yourself in the IT Industry

My favorite was the part where he talked about the Importance of building Network & Public Speaking and the impact networking has made in his life, as this is the field which I personally feel I was lacking for a long time. The webinar went out for about 2 hrs and ended up with a Q & A session.

Thanks to Rabin Dai for the session and ACHS Academics for organizing these events and introducing awesome personnel from industry for the online sessions and keeping us engaged in the lockdown period.

I found “Beyond Academics During Academics” session by Mr. Rabin Gaire, a software engineer at Leapfrog Technology Inc. and one of the graduates of ACHS College, to be interesting and beneficial. The session was short and the presentation was entertaining and well explained. He was so gracious that we placed our questions without hesitation. He shared his experiences in IT field and also talked about procedure to apply for internships which was very fruitful for us.

Event on “ Data center and its services in Nepal what’s in it for students” by Mr Niranjan Baral was fruitful and insightful. I was in a dilemma for choosing a suitable and perfect IT platform for me (Technology student). This in-service program by Mr Niranjan Baral about the data center has provided a clear overview of the careers in the data center. As an IT student, the information about the Data Centers was very helpful and productive for me.

This session focused on the data center and cloud computing, contribution to the modern computing age. The session provided me with the clear idea about the data center, working and practical aspects of data center facilities. Moreover, I understood its importance in data backup and recovery  which we would not get to explore in depth through course books and curriculum.

During the Corona Virus pandemic , data center has played an important role. All the colleges are closed and connected virtually with help of  apps like G-Meet and Zoom. Mr Niranjan Baral explained how these services relies on data center facilities. Furthermore, this session provided me overview of, in the world of  enterprise IT, the importance of data center for business applications ( emails, productivity applications, machine learning). Also, I was pleased to know the information about the data center in Nepal and its use of virtualization in the data center to support cloud storage.

I am grateful and proud to be a member of ACHS family and would like to thank our management team for organizing such an educational session in these difficult times. In future, I aim to participate in these sort of educational events and encourage my college to organize more creative programs in future.

ACHS organized webinar on “Data center and its services in Nepal & What’s in it for IT students” where we grabbed the opportunity to learn a lot about data center through the Resource Person Mr. Niranjan Baral (Former Director of Technology, Cloud Himalayan Pvt. Ltd). Being an IT student, it is important to be informed and remain up-to-date about the technological changes, so these sort of platforms are must, and our college has been providing us with these extra curricular facilities beyond our syllabus.

Talking about the webinar/session, it was a lot helpful for us to get the ideas about data centers. We were make aware about the data center, and learnt that it is very important to use and its required fields, also the elements of data center were well discussed in the session along its classification which was very informative for us. Also, we were given the ideas about data center in Nepal. Since we do not have long history of data center in our country, we got to know about it and also its several advantages and disadvantages.

Though technology available in Nepal has bound data center with some limitations, it can be overcome with advancement and proper use of technology and data centers can be established here too in large scale for the proper management of confidential data with less threat of loss or theft.

I would say it was the effective session by Mr. Niranjan Baral that was actually is helpful for the IT background student like us. During this session, there were things that would interests not only me but all of us related to it. The presentation was well understandable and the question answer session helped a lot to clear our queries and we expect more numbers of such session to be organized.

“I’m an attendee of the recent webinar related to Data Centers (2020/5/6) presented by Mr. Nirajan Baral. I was glad that I was able to join the session. The session was short and effective in introducing the basics of data centers and its aspects. I liked that the presentation was done in Nepali, this helped me feel comfortable and not out of place.

From the very beginning I appreciated how humble Mr. Nirajan was, not rather than talking about his past experience or qualifications, he simply began by greeting us and starting discussing. I also enjoyed the flow of the session, particularly how questions were put on hold for the time being rather than letting the questions interrupt the presentation.

During the questioning period I saw professionalism in Mr.Nirajan as he answered related questions in a chronological order without leaving any questions behind. He did not rush any answers to jump onto answering the next questions. He made it very clear that he knew about the things he was talking about.

For my first ever time experiencing a web based session, this session was quite fruitful and wholesome overall.

Hey there!! I hope everyone is fine sitting out there during this lockdown period due to the pandemic COVID-19. During this period there were lots of spare time, as time had been passed on. As many of us were pretty excited with the lockdown at beginning but as the time passed by it became pretty bored and it was more boring day by day. So amidst lockdown our college started to run online classes which was new type of experience and we are being used to it. As classes was continuing we were informed about the Webinar on “Nepal to US & Beyond” by Mr. Sajak Upadhyaya who is alumni of IIMS Education foundation.

The webinar was conducted on 3rd May, 2020 at 9:00 A.M. in Google Meet. It was new practice for us as more than 90 students attended it. Everyone was elevated about the topic which was about addressing the problems and different procedures that needed to be done to go to U.S. (often considered as country of dreams). Since U.S. comes to the top list when people think to study aboard, we all we ready to interact with him. Many student came forward with the question like: How to get enroll in the university? What are the requirements needy for getting into good university? What pre-exams needed to done for applying Visa? What are the chances of getting accepted by the universities out there?

Most of the question were answered well and everybody have their doubt cleared. We even got to know that having 1-2 yrs. job experience and applying after that would help a lot helpful to go U.S. The webinar was full of interaction with speaker and he was way too friendly to share the experience and address the answer that student keep forward to. This made us very open to ask the question and everyone was pleased with the answer that he replied.

But the webinar was never a one that emphasized to study aboard. He was very clear that, ones who have motive of going aboard can try for U.S. and no pressure on the people who want to do something here in Nepal. The webinar went so well and it was worth of 2 hrs. that day. Lastly, I would like to thank Mr. Sajak for giving us interactive session and we are grateful for the time and effort you took to share your thoughts and experiences with us.
Thank You!!

“Nepal to US & Beyond” was very productive session especially for those students who want to apply USA for Master’s degree. Throughout the session, the guest pointed out the things that are important for students to know before applying the USA visa. The guest was so frank and friendly that he answered all the questions of students without hesitation even if it was not of his concern.

Because of this session, I got a chance to know a lot about the ways to apply the universities, the student life in USA, the internship programs and many more. Altogether, the session was good but in my opinion, it could have been more interactive than it was.

There were 91 students altogether but only few students were interactive with guest. And, a separate session would be better for senior semester students if possible.

The session was about 2 hrs long and so informative. Got to know about the journey of our guest lecture from Nepal to the USA. Session was very fruitful for those who wanted to pursue their higher education in the USA. I personally found it very fruitful. The guest lecture covered the applying process, choosing a university, why to study in the USA and how to find the perfect university that suits our course of interest.

Moreover, we put our queries and got the answer. We also talked about how to start an internship and got some ideas to make a good portfolio. Overall, the webinar was so informative. I enjoyed the whole session and got some ideas to start with the perfect programming language in my field of interest.
