 Innovation meets Ingenuity

The expo featured a wide range of more than 200 in mini and main  projects category spanning basic and emerging streams  in engineering and technology reflecting the depth of talent and interests among students. Participants delivered captivating presentations, exhibited their novel ideas, explaining their projects’ objectives, methodologies, and outcomes to a diverse audience, including fellow  students, teachers, and external guests. Many projects showed potential for real-world application, and some were even encouraged to be developed into start-up ideas or incubated further.Each project was presented through interactive displays, combining visual aids, prototypes, and hands-on demonstrations to engage and educate visitors. A panel of expert judges evaluated the projects based on criteria such as innovation, creativity, technicality, and relevance.

Expert Panels & Limitless Perspectives

The Expert panels rigorously evaluated the various teams based on various criteria like Innovation, Implementations and Economic benefits to the mankind etc., esteemed judges from various engineering sectors evaluated projects, offering valuable insights and feedback to participants. The evaluation process was based on the novelty, poster design, presentation and demo.

Prize Money  Rs 1,00,000 worth of rewards  to our deserving winners!

The event concluded with the best projects in all engineering streams like AIML,CE, CSE, EEE,ECE, ME & MCA  being awarded a certificate and a prize money worth Rs 1,00,000/- (One lakh),recognizing exceptional talent and encouraging further advancements in technology and engineering.The valedictory function honored project winners and the prizes were distributed by Mr Sureshlal (Executive Director, VICT) , Dr Sunitha C (Principal), Dr Jeeva K A (HoD, AIML Dept), Dr Abhilasha P S (HoD, CE Dept), Dr Mary P Varghese (HoD, EEE Dept),Dr Reji C Joy (HoD, MCA), (Dr Sooraj K Prabha (Professor, ME Dept),Mr Anil M (IEDC Nodal Officer, Asst Prof, ECE Dept), Mr Sarath Babu  Ramachandran (ISTE Secretary VAST, Asst Prof, ME Dept) and Mr Vishnu Shaji (IIC Co-ordinator, VAST, Asst Prof, ME Dept)
