My journey as a participant!
“National Institute of Technology” is a dream place for most of us and I feel much proud to share my experience at NIT-T by this article.
Yes, though I’m not a student of NIT, I was amazed by the campus which was visited by me as a participant. As we all are aware of , NIT organizes a grand event named as “Pragyan” every year in which student from various university around the country can participate and win exciting awards.
Myself and my team got an opportunity to participate in an internal hackathon under the grand event “Pragyan-2024”. That was an amazing opportunity to upgrade our self to next level of ideation.
About the event:
The event Pragyan consists of many workshops on the booming trends such as AI and so on by which students can have a clear ideation from many ambassadors and various corporates too. The event also conducts many internal hackathons in one of which we got this wonderful opportunity.
At this “Ingenium Hackathon” we’ve gone through 3 selection rounds, which was on online mode and so we were longing for the campus visit. Finally much glad to be a part of the final round of the Ingenium Hackathon by which we got the opportunity to visit the campus to showcase our prototype.
Campus environment and people:
Once we entered the campus we were amazed by the atmosphere. Students from various part of the country were very much curious about their participation at NIT. After all the verification we were asked to move towards the golden jubilee block to take part in the final round of the hackathon.
We were honestly stunned by looking at the demos from various domains such as aerospace, healthcare etc., There was also a showcase of the launch of chandrayaan-3 from the team ISRO and other space centers.
There were about more than five teams under each theme of the hackathon and we belonged to the theme defence. Each team was provided with an individual stalls in which they can prepare for the showcase of their prototypes.
