LIFE AT COLLEGE

                    CYBER SECURITY With escalating demand in digital culture, frauds and thefts are been rising every day. The global cyber threat continues to evolve at a rapid pace with the rising numbers of data per year. Medical services, retailers and public entities experience the most breaches, with malicious criminals responsible for the digital incidents. To keep a check on these kinds of malicious activities and to prevent it, cyber security has been developed. What is basically cyber security? Cybersecurity is the practice of protecting systems, networks, and programs from digital attacks. Its main aim is to reduce risks of cyberattacks and to protect against the unauthorized exploitation of system, network and technologies. These cyberattacks are usually aimed at accessing, changing, or destroying sensitive information; extorting money from users via ransomware or interrupting normal business processes. There are mainly 3 fo...

                      HACKATHON When people hear the word ‘Hackathon’ a wave of intimidation spill over them.  Hackathon is a codefest event where programmers, developers and tech enthusiasts come to collaborate together and create software solution sets ranging for few days. It’s a day long coding competition where you will find diversified brilliant minds and best ideas all under one roof. One eventually ends up honing his/her existing skills and acquiring new ones in process. All in all, hackathon is a win-win situation. In coding world, there are countless opportunities to learn, collaborate and contribute to open-source projects and participate in such coding fest and competition. Such events are known by the name ‘hackathon’. Hackathon are popularly known for their fast-paced and intense nature with participants working long hours to complete their projects/tasks. Also, they are characterized by showcasing collaborative a...

                  PEER PRESSURE  Peer pressure is known as the effects that one has on his/her behaviour, attitude and beliefs based on their social group. It can have notable effects on one’s decision-making abilities which may lead them to engage in behaviour that they may not have otherwise.

This form of pressure is particularly experienced by adolescents and young adults who are seeking approval and acceptance from their peers.  While peer pressure is often related with negative ef...

                  BIOINFORMATICS   Bioinformatics is a broad multidisciplinary field that combines biology, computer science, statistics and mathematics to analyze and interpret biological data, particularly DNA, RNA and proteins. This branch mainly analyses biological data and develop new software using biological tools. It is mainly used to extract knowledge from biological data through the development of algorithms and software. Bioinformatics has broad applications including genome sequencing, gene expression analysis, protein structure prediction, drug discovery, personalized medicines, etc. A significant application of bioinformatics can be found in the fields of precision and preventive drug which are mainly focused on developing measures to prevent, control and cure dreadful infectious diseases.  IILM University, Greater Noida , offers a bachelor of technology (B.Tech) in bioinformatics as an undergraduate program of 4-year ...

                    Food Technology  Food technology is a branch of science that deals with the application of science that refers to the technology involved for processing, preservating, packaging and distribution of food. It works to develop new food products, improve the existing and find ways to increase the shelf life. Extensive research goes on to make the product more nutritious before making it available in the market. Food technology is playing a significant role to produce a wide variety and distribute them worldwide.  Engineering in food processing and technology focuses on combining the principles of food science, chemistry and microbiology which imparts knowledge required for a career in food industry.  Basic techniques and technologies used  in food industries are thermal processing such as canning and pasteurization, high pressure processing , freezing, pasteurization ,fermentation, addition of preserva...

  APPLICATION OF BIOTECHNOLOGY IN DAILY LIVES We must have heard the term ‘Biotechnology’, but a few know the actual meaning of what is actually biotechnology. Biotechnology is defined as application of scientific and engineering principles to the processing of material by biological agents to provide goods and services.  Now we can discuss the applications of biotechnology in various fields:- Application in medicine: Every pharmaceutical is derived from systems of organisms such as yeast, plant, fungus and bacteria or any other biological system. Medicines, vaccinations, any other medical drug is using technologies like PCR, RNA Recombination techniques and various methods. For diabetic patients, insulin is derived from sheep to meet the body’s insulin requirements. Even organ transplantations, cell therapies, tissue cultures are all done through biotechnology but with certain rules and regulations. Recombinant DNA technologies help in the mass production of safe and more eff...

 After high school, everybody seems to throw around the saying that college is going to be the best time of your life. Leaving behind your fourteen years of school life carrying little bitterness as well as enthusiastic feeling in heart for stepping into new life, one enters into its most awaited journey of college life.
