Defianz Aiming at 2009 Formula SAE Collegiate.
Students of Delhi College of Engineering have taken up the challenge of designing and fabricating a formula car for participating in the esteemed 2009 Formula SAE collegiate event to be held in the United States, Australia & England.
Constituted under the banner of "defianz_racing", the team is the first of its kind from India to participate in a competition of such prestige .The team has been participating at the prestigious event for the past 6 years. Every year the team achieves a new milestone in the development of the car superseding the previous teams. This year the team added yet another feather to it's cap by being 3rd in Engineering Design in the world.The Formula Student event is conducted by the SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) under the FSAE series.
The event requires the teams to Build the lightest and fastest car possible under very specific guidelines. The four-day event entails static as well as dynamic Events where the car is judged stringently in all aspects . The teams are subject to competition with the best brains and extreme technologies from around the world, in this ever expanding competition.

DCE ALUMNI - Vijay Shekhar Sharma [CEO, one97 Communications]
Vijay Shekhar Sharma (better known as VSS) belongs to 1998 batch of B.E. (Electronics) at DCE The young CEO and founder of One97 Communications, who finished high school from Aligarh at 14, was actually denied admission to Delhi College of Engineering owing to his age. However, he appealed to the vice-chancellor of the university, who eventually allowed him to join DCE at 15.
Today, One97 provides a platform for value-added telecom network services . Its model of offering a free telecom application platform to operators in return for a share of revenue is one that Sharma claims that his company came up with first. Some of the services that are based on this platform include messaging, music, call management (not just basic stuff but also higher end services like the Internet and MMS, auto network redial, and entertainment options).
As a final year student, Sharma founded indiasite . net , an Indian web directory that quickly got noticed. At the height of the dotcom boom in 1999, the teenager who had never seen a computer until 1994 sold his startup to a New Jersey-based company for a crore of rupees.
One97-so named because it was the national phone directory helpline number-was born in 2001 with a nervous Sharma at the helm. "Bharti Airtel was our first client in March 2001 and we sold them a package consisting of astrology services, SMS-based auctions and music-related applications. Today, services by One97 reach 97% of the country's mobile subscribers, and Sharma says that while an absolute market figure is difficult to get, the company has approximately 25-30% share of its market.
Right now, Sharma is focused on the sweet sounds of success as he aims to reach the $100-million mark in the next two years: "The market is huge and we believe we've only just skimmed the surface. There are many, many milestones ahead for us."
Football League
Passion, innovation and football brought the sporting minds of DCE to come up with their own football league on similar lines with IPL. The idea has received an incredible response among Dceites . Kudos to the second year students who not only came up with this idea but implemented it with zeal and exuberance. Eight teams , over 120 soccer maniacs battle it out in what is seen as one of the most awaited events. Eight team managers with 300 points in their pockets brainstorm and bid for their dream fifteen .
A whole lot of number crunching with each manager endeavour to optimise his resources, the battle begins right from the boardroom. Speculation and gambling for attract ting the best talent by managers adds to the whole excitement. Bidding is to take place in three phases with the bidding reaching as high as 80 points with just 1 phase over
