introduction
Students' academic excellence is most evident when they compete and succeed in large venues. Students at Gopalan Institute of Technology (GIT) accomplish well not just in the classroom but also in national competitions and events, including hackathons, invention contests, and tech and cultural championships. These triumphs provide a national platform for showcasing their technical proficiency, inventiveness, collaboration, and self-assurance.
As part of the learning culture, GIT encourages all students to do more than just read textbooks. This includes competing in inter-college and all-India tournaments.
Highlights of the National Competition (Opites)
1. Champions of the SIH (Smart India Hackathon)
- In the software category, a group of senior CSE and ISE students were victorious in the 2023 Smart India Hackathon.
- Real-time alarm systems and AI-based disaster prediction were the main topics of their project.
- They were given monetary awards and offered internships after presenting the idea to government officials.
"SIH was life-changing—we demonstrated our abilities and worked 36 hours straight," recalls Ashwin, the team leader.
2. AICTE Innovation Contest: Top Prototype
- With a concept called "Smart Pavement Health Monitor" that used embedded sensors, a team of students studying mechanical and civil engineering won the AICTE Innovation Challenge.
- Because it is pertinent to India's road safety requirements, this is the finest idea.
A pitch opportunity at the National Innovation Foundation and mentorship from IIT alumni were given to the team.
Project organizer Keerthi stated, "We had the confidence to create a real working model thanks to GIT's labs and mentoring."
3. The Dance Category of the National Cultural Youth Festival
- The National Youth Festival 2022 saw Gopalan Institute of Technology dance squad, "G-Tribe," take first place in the group freestyle fusion dance competition.
- Their intensity, coordination, and choreography were particularly impressive as they competed against teams from India's best colleges.
"Every minute of our after-class practice sessions was worthwhile," Bhavana from ECE said.
4. Finalists for SAE India Student Formula Design
- In the SAE India Student Formula Car Design Competition, a team of mechanical and ECE students competed.
- Their specially designed electric go-kart advanced to the national championship round.
They demonstrated real-world car testing and innovative sustainable engineering.
"We only had a sketch at first, but we ended up competing on a racetrack." That's the spirit of GIT!" exclaimed Raj, the team mechanic.
5. National Coding Challenge Runner-Up: CodeQuest
- At the competitive coding competition CodeQuest 2023, which was organized by a large IT company, two third-year ISE students took second place.
- Using Python and C++, they were able to tackle algorithmic problems in record speed.
- Due to their achievement, they received media attention in student tech forums and internship offers.
According to Neha, "daily coding practice and faculty support made all the difference."
Conclusion
Gopalan Institute of Technology students are demonstrating their abilities all over India by taking first place in renowned national competitions in both technical and cultural fields. In addition to being trophies, these students' accomplishments are evidence of the college's emphasis on creativity, experiential learning, and boosting self-esteem.
Students are urged to think broadly, compete strategically, and take bold leadership roles at GIT. Every student has a unique career success story that exemplifies the institute's dedication to producing engineers who can compete nationally as well as in tests.
