From Classroom to Cloud: TCET’s Infrastructure for Computer Engineering and Cloud Computing
11th, August, 2025
Cloud computing is no longer a futuristic concept—it powers everything from smart cities to streaming platforms. As enterprises shift from static, on-premises systems to dynamic cloud architectures, the demand is rising for engineers who can build, scale, and secure tomorrow’s digital backbone.
At Thakur College of Engineering and Technology (TCET), this shift isn’t just observed—it’s engineered. The Department of Computer Engineering and Cloud Computing blends academic rigor with real-world cloud environments, transforming classrooms into launchpads for the next generation of tech leaders.
IIT Bombay Remote Centre: Learning Directly from the Best
One of TCET’s strongest alliances is the IIT Bombay Remote Centre, enabling students and faculty to attend live and recorded workshops, training sessions, and expert lectures directly from IIT Bombay via the A-VIEW platform.
- Regular workshops on cloud computing, machine learning, and data science
- Certification-oriented programs recognized across academia and industry
- Real-time interaction with IIT Bombay faculty through A-VIEW
This centre acts as a campus portal to premium national-level programs like Spoken Tutorial, FOSSEE, and Virtual Labs—accessible right from TCET classrooms.
Advanced Cloud Labs: Where Theory Meets Real-World Deployment
Learning cloud theory is one thing; building and deploying on real platforms is another. TCET’s advanced cloud labs let students experience the full lifecycle of cloud applications.
- Hands-on with AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud
- Courses aligned with certifications like AWS Solutions Architect, Azure Fundamentals, and Google Cloud Associate Engineer
- Support for containerization, DevOps pipelines, serverless computing, and Infrastructure as Code automation
Beyond final-year projects, students are encouraged—from the first year—to experiment with cloud infrastructure, version control, and CI/CD practices.
Cloud-Specific Curriculum
Built on the National Education Policy 2020, TCET’s program adapts to industry needs with future-ready topics:
- Cloud security and architecture
- Virtualization technology
- Microservices and distributed systems
- DevOps tools and practices
- Edge and fog computing
Industry-led mini-projects, internships, and innovation-focused tasks ensure students learn concepts and master their application in advanced real-world settings.
Research and Innovation: Nurturing Cloud-First Concepts
The department hosts research and innovation cells that drive publications, prototypes, and even startups.
- Access to cloud credits through industry partnerships
- Support for publishing in IEEE, ACM, and Scopus-indexed venues
- Interdisciplinary projects integrating IoT, AI, and cloud solutions
National hackathons, coding contests, and startup incubation are routine, with many solutions designed end-to-end on the cloud.
Faculty and Mentorship: Closing the Knowledge Gap
TCET’s faculty combine teaching excellence with cloud certifications, mentoring students through certification prep, personal projects, and startup ideation.
- Faculty-led bootcamps on cloud tech and programming paradigms
- Regular seminars and industry visits to leading cloud service companies
- 360° guidance on academics, careers, and certifications
This mentorship ensures graduates are industry-ready from day one.
A Culture of Continuous Learning
TCET encourages experimentation and community engagement through clubs like Google Developer Student Club, CSI TCET, and ISTE—keeping students connected to national tech ecosystems.
- Regular tech meetups and hands-on workshops
- Cloud-themed hackathons and innovation sprints
- Peer-to-peer mentoring via student-led initiatives
Here, cloud computing isn’t just a subject—it’s an experiential part of student life.
From Classroom to Cloud: The Road Ahead
The future belongs to those who can innovate fast, scale safely, and build securely. TCET ensures students are not passive learners but active producers in a cloud-enabled world.
Whether it’s developing microservice architectures, deploying AI on Kubernetes, or automating infrastructure with Terraform, TCET students graduate with the skills, tools, and imagination to succeed—from lecture halls to real-time cloud deployments.
If you’re a tech-passionate student or an industry professional seeking collaboration, the Department of Computer Engineering and Cloud Computing at TCET is where potential meets performance.
