The society focuses on building foundational and advanced skills in areas such as network security, ethical hacking, digital forensics, cryptography, and cyber laws. Through workshops, expert talks, hands-on labs, capture-the-flag events, and industry interactions, Sentinex prepares students to understand contemporary cyber threats and contribute responsibly to securing digital infrastructures.
The Department of Computer Science (PG), School of Computational and Physical Sciences, Kristu Jayanti University, organized a technical session titled “Network Scanning 101” on 10 December 2025 for the benefit of 107 participants, including 46 in-house students. The session was facilitated by Mr. Boris Leffenson A, Vice President at SentiNex and an IV MCA B student of Kristu Jayanti University, Bengaluru. Addressing the students, the session focused on introducing the fundamentals of network scanning and its significance in cybersecurity. The facilitator explained how network reconnaissance forms the foundation of security assessment and demonstrated practical techniques for host discovery, operating system detection, and port and service scanning using tools such as Nmap. Participants were exposed to methods involving ICMP, ARP, and TCP probes to identify active systems and understand service behavior within a network. The session also highlighted the role of firewalls and intrusion detection systems in monitoring scanning activities and discussed ethical and controlled approaches to legitimate security testing. Through practical examples and real-world scenarios, the session enhanced students’ understanding of network behavior, improved their ability to interpret scan results, and strengthened their confidence in applying core network scanning techniques for basic cybersecurity assessments.
2. Neuronova - AI and ML
A Life Skill Training Program titled “Master Your Mind: Managing Interview Stress with Confidence” was conducted on 31/10/2025 for the student of Department of Computer Science (PG). The session aimed to help students develop emotional resilience and self-confidence to perform effectively during interviews.
The training was conducted by Dr. Angeline Prasanna G and Dr. Gayathri R, who shared valuable insights on understanding stress, identifying its triggers, and applying practical techniques to manage it. They emphasized the importance of a positive mindset, effective communication, and self-awareness in overcoming interview anxiety.
Through engaging discussions, relaxation exercises, and interactive activities, students learned how to remain calm under pressure and present themselves confidently. Real-life interview scenarios were also discussed to help participants understand the expectations of recruiters and improve their body language, tone, and articulation.
The session was highly informative and motivational, enabling students to gain both psychological and practical tools for success. It concluded with an interactive question and answer segment, where students clarified their doubts and shared their experiences. Overall, the training provided valuable guidance on developing emotional intelligence and confidence—essential qualities for professional growth and success.
3. SynHera - Women's Society
The Department of Computer Science (PG), School of Computational and Physical Sciences, Kristu Jayanti College, in association with SYNHERA and IEEE, organized an expert talk on “Pathways to Employment at Google” on 6th September 2025, at the SKE Auditorium, PG Block. The session was exclusively designed for MCA, M.Sc. CS, and DS students to gain career insights into global technology firms.
The resource person, Mr. Tarun Chaudhary, Staff Software Engineer at Google, Bengaluru, shared valuable knowledge on career opportunities, hiring practices, and essential skills required to succeed at Google. His talk emphasized problem-solving, continuous learning, and the importance of perseverance in the competitive tech industry.
The interactive session provided students with practical guidance and motivation to align their academic learning with industry expectations. The event reinforced the department’s vision of equipping students with knowledge and skills to excel in their professional journeys.
4. Databridge - Data Science Society
The Department of Computer Science (PG), in association with the Data-Bridge Society, organized a two-day Workshop on “Advanced SQL” on 24th and 25th October 2025. The workshop was conducted by Mr. Umesha S, an experienced SQL Developer at Stavtar Solutions, Bengaluru, who shared his expertise in advanced SQL techniques and performance optimization.
Day 1 – 24th October 2025:
The first day of the workshop began with a brief recap of SQL fundamentals, covering DML (Data Manipulation Language), DDL (Data Definition Language), and DTL (Data Transaction Language) commands to ensure that all participants were on the same page. The session then moved on to a detailed discussion on GROUP BY and HAVING clauses, where the trainer explained how to group and filter aggregated data effectively.
Next, participants were introduced to subqueries, their use in nested operations, and the importance of writing efficient subqueries for complex reporting tasks. This was followed by an in-depth session on Common Table Expressions (CTEs) — highlighting their advantages over subqueries and how they improve readability and query performance. The trainer also demonstrated the creation and use of triggers to automate tasks such as maintaining audit logs and enforcing data integrity. The day concluded with a practical session on indexing and performance tuning, where students observed how indexes influence query execution speed and performance.
Day 2 – 25th October 2025:
The second day began with an exploration of ranking functions, including RANK(), DENSE_RANK(), and ROW_NUMBER(), along with examples demonstrating how these functions can be used to rank or order data within partitions. This was followed by a session on window functions like LEAD() and LAG(), which allow comparisons between rows without the need for self-joins.
Participants engaged in several hands-on exercises using real-world datasets to apply the concepts learned. Mr. Umesha encouraged students to experiment with combining window functions, aggregations, and CTEs to solve analytical queries efficiently. The day concluded with a challenge session, where students were asked to design and optimize SQL queries based on real-time scenarios, reinforcing the learning outcomes of both days.
The Advanced SQL Workshop provided participants with a strong foundation in advanced database concepts, enhanced their problem-solving abilities, and equipped them with practical SQL skills essential for data analysis and backend development roles.
