About Me

My name is Sudipta Sarkar (Rik), a strong follower of Swami Vivekananda, Thakur Shree Ramakrishna, and Holy Ma Sharada. I have recently completed my master's degree in Computer Science (June 2025) from Ramakrishna Mission Residential College (Autonomous), Narendrapur, and I earned my bachelor's degree in Computer Science (Hons.) from Ramakrishna Mission Vivekananda Centenary College, Rahara. I have also qualified the UGC-NET (LS) examination for Assistant Professorship and Ph.D. eligibility under the June 2025 cycle.

During my five years of undergraduate and postgraduate studies, I had the opportunity to visit more than three Ramakrishna Mission Centers. I deeply admire their philosophy, work, and spiritual ideologies. Throughout this period, I met many potential friends, teachers, and monks who have continuously encouraged me to be a diligent learner and, more importantly, a good human being. I am truly grateful to all my friends, teachers, family members, and especially to the monks, whose guidance has played a crucial role in shaping me into a better person. Today, I strive not only to excel in the field of computing but also to grow spiritually and become a better individual in every aspect of life.

The name "Sudipta" (সুদীপ্ত) is of Sanskrit origin and is commonly used in Bengali-speaking regions. It is a combination of two Sanskrit words: "Su" meaning "good," "auspicious," or "prosperous," and "Dipta" meaning "bright," "shining," or "illuminated." Thus, Sudipta is often interpreted as "one who is brightly shining" (যে আলোকিতভাবে উজ্জ্বল) or "the one who is prosperous and enlightened" (যে সমৃদ্ধ ও জ্ঞানী). It conveys the idea of someone who is radiant, intellectually bright, or blessed with success.

Education

  • Ramakrishna Mission Residential College (Autonomous), Narendrapur (NIRF India Ranking 2024: 24th in India) (Sept. 2023 – June 2025): M.Sc. in Computer Science, CGPA: 9.95/10.00 (96.30%)

    Specializing in advanced topics like Deep Learning, Computer Vision, and Algorithms. My coursework includes Machine Learning, Image Processing, and Data Science, with a focus on research-oriented projects under esteemed faculty. The college, affiliated with University of Calcutta, is renowned for its holistic education combining academic excellence with spiritual values, inspired by Swami Vivekananda’s teachings.

  • Ramakrishna Mission Vivekananda Centenary College, Rahara (NIRF India Ranking 2024: 3rd in India) (Sept. 2020 – May 2023): B.Sc. in Computer Science (Hons.), CGPA: 9.72/10.00 (92.02%)

    Studied core computer science subjects including Data Structures, Algorithms, and Database Systems. Conducted undergraduate research in Deep Learning and Computer Vision. The institution, affiliated with West Bengal State University (WBSU), emphasizes scientific rigor and ethical values.

  • Hogalbaria Adarsha Siksha Niketan (H.S.), Hogalbaria, Karimpur-I, Nadia (Jan. 2012 – July 2020): High School (Science), GPA: 83.00%

    Studied in a Bengali Medium School affiliated with the West Bengal Council of Higher Secondary Education (WBCHSE). Located in a rural area near the India-Bangladesh border with poor development and limited resources, the school faced a shortage of teachers and students. I was the only student in the science stream for classes 11th and 12th, which fostered resilience and self-reliance. Focused on Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, and Biology, building a strong foundation in scientific principles. Participated in science fairs and regional competitions, fostering an early interest in technology.
