Any of your fond memories?

Times spent with friends were great. Since I was in the hostel, it added another layer of warmth to my overall experience; it was loads of fun. Despite the initial two years of online classes, the institute’s exceptional infrastructure and conducive environment greatly enhanced the overall quality of my educational journey here.

Share some projects you undertook.

Last year, I got the opportunity to participate in the Smart India Hackathon which was a national-level event organised by our university. Three teams were selected. What made the experience even more gratifying was that the finalist of the hackathon emerged from our team. The best part was that I played a significant role in contributing to the success of that campaign.
