The importance of using strong and secure passwords, protecting sensitive information, identifying suspicious activities, and detecting possible attack indicators was emphasized.
Students gained awareness of how information available through open sources can support cybersecurity analysis and security monitoring. Overall, the Value Added Course was highly informative and beneficial to the students. It enhanced their understanding of OSINT, password security, and attack detection techniques. The interactive sessions and practical industry insights provided valuable exposure to cybersecurity practices, information gathering methods, security awareness, and career opportunities in the cybersecurity domain.

The Department of Computer Science (Data Science and Analytics), Subbalakshmi Lakshmipathy College of Science, organized a five-day Value Added Course titled “MLOps and DevOps for AI Application Development” from 21 to 25 September 2026 at the AI & ML Lab. The programme was
conducted by Mr.Vinod Krishnan, Founder and CEO, Mr.Manikandan, Senior Programmer of V3 Analytics Private Limited, Madurai with a focus on current tools, concepts and industry practices in AI application development and deployment.
The course covered the DevOps lifecycle, collaboration, automation, virtualization and
containerization using Docker, including the creation and management of Docker images and containers.
Students gained an understanding of Kubernetes architecture, Pods, container orchestration, application deployment and scaling.
The sessions also introduced prompt engineering techniques, structured prompting and prompt injection risks. Students developed a Python command-line calculator using different prompting approaches and documented their experiments in Google Colab. Further topics included Large Language Models (LLMs), tokenization, word embeddings, attention mechanisms, self-attention, multi-head attention and causal masking in Transformer architectures.
Students also explored the process of building a small language model from scratch. In addition, the course addressed MLOps concepts, machine learning pipelines, the transition of ML applications from development to production, Kubernetes-based AI/ML deployment and industry expectations regarding programming, machine learning, cloud technologies and problem-solving skills.
The course provided students with practical exposure to DevOps tools, containerization, Kubernetes, prompt engineering, Transformer-based language models and MLOps workflows. It enhanced their understanding of developing, packaging, deploying and managing AI/ML applications and
familiarized them with relevant industry practices, thereby supporting their preparation for industry- oriented roles.
Totally 39 students attended the Value Added Course and get benefitted.

The Department of Computer Science (Data Science and Analytics), Subbalakshmi Lakshmipathy College of Science, organized a Value Added Course titled “Foundational AI/ML Use Cases” for the students of II B.Sc CS(DSA) to strengthen their understanding of Machine Learning algorithms and model evaluation techniques through practical, application-oriented learning.
The course focused on the fundamentals of supervised and unsupervised learning, with an emphasis on understanding and applying appropriate Machine Learning algorithms to real-world problems. The topics covered included regression for predictive analytics, classification algorithms such as Logistic Regression, Decision Trees and Naive Bayes, and Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) for image
classification and handwritten digit recognition. Students were also introduced to clustering and recommendation system concepts, sentiment analysis, face detection using OpenCV, and predictive modelling using sample datasets from different application domains.
A key component of the course was the evaluation of Machine Learning models using appropriate performance metrics.

The course also emphasized data cleaning, preprocessing, feature preparation and visualization as
essential steps in building reliable Machine Learning models.
The course enabled students to develop a foundational understanding of Machine Learning algorithms and their practical applications. Students gained awareness of model evaluation metrics and the importance of measuring prediction performance, comparing algorithms and selecting suitable models for specific problems. The programme provided a foundation for further learning and project development in
Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning.
Totally 39 students attended the Value Added Course and get benefitted.

 

Talent Show is a vibrant talent showcase promoted by Subbalakshmi Lakshmipathy College of Science (SLCS), providing a platform for students to express their creativity and exhibit their talents through dance and various forms of art. The event encourages artistic expression, builds confidence, and fosters creativity and cultural appreciation among students, contributing to their holistic development.

The Student Forum provides a platform for students to showcase their talents, enhance their academic knowledge, and develop their communication and leadership skills. Students actively participate in seminars, conferences, paper presentations, and various intercollegiate competitions organised by other institutions. Their participation and achievements, including prizes and awards won at intercollegiate events, reflect their commitment to academic excellence and extracurricular development. The department representatives periodically discuss and review the students’ participation and accomplishments, recognising their efforts and encouraging them to pursue further opportunities. These initiatives foster confidence, collaboration, and a spirit of healthy competition while bringing laurels to the institution.

SLCS Santhai, organised by the Department of B.Com., provided an excellent platform for students from various departments to set up stalls and showcase their entrepreneurial skills. The event fostered business acumen, marketing skills, financial management, teamwork, creativity, and customer interaction, offering students valuable hands-on experience in business operations and encouraging an entrepreneurial mindset.

Subbalakshmi Lakshmipathy College of Science (SLCS), Madurai, is delighted to present Talent Show and SLCS Santhai 2026, a vibrant celebration of creativity, talent, and entrepreneurship.

The Talent Show will provide a dynamic platform for students to showcase their artistic abilities through music, dance, and other captivating performances. The event aims to encourage self-expression, nurture creativity, and celebrate the diverse talents of our students.
