Akshay Vijay Loke

I come from a modest middle-class Maharashtrian family. Born and bought up in Dadar Mumbai, I attended Dadar’s IES school where I got a overall grooming being a member of the Kabaddi Team and also participated in the school dramatics. I have always been passionate to become an engineer. This led towards my journey to complete BE in Computer Engineering from the Mumbai University.

I was always passionate of being a teacher and this led me to take up the career in teaching and I joined a reputed Engineering College. My students were my first Teacher of Teaching Profession. Later I joined, Vidyalankar Institute of Technology and this really made me to team up with a great Teaching Team of this college. I was fortunate to get admission for M.E in Computer Engineering in our very Institute in 2010. My own Teachers, Mentors and became by Colleagues, and interaction with them made me a better teacher than I was then. The improvement process never ends though.

In addition of being an Assistant Professor, I am also member of The Career Counseling Committee (CCC) representing Department of Information Technology. The CCC committee works on providing information, mentoring students regarding higher studies opportunities. I am also the member of Staff Development committee for two years.

As far as my hobbies are concerned, I like to read books, especially historical novels and Marathi books authored Shri V.P Kale and Shri P.L Deshpande.
