AIM

Function of student’s association is oriented towards the development and betterment of students through all angles. Through student’s council, various programs are undertaken so that the talents of students in respect of technical ability, cultural and sports talents are put forward.

Mechanical Engineering Association (MEA)

The MEA represents the student body of Mechanical Engineering Department and provides outlets for students to be involved in meaningful and personality enhancing activities that support the mission of the department to facilitate the overall development of budding mechanical engineers. Established in the year 2003, the fundamental objective of the association is to promote professionalism supported by vision and integrity for service of humanity. For cumulative personality development of the students, the MEA provides extra-curricular, co-curricular and other important activities beneficial to students.

The activity of MEA directly contributes to enhancing the soft skills of the students which plays a pivotal role in facing the challenges towards success. Some of the activities are Paper Presentation, Technical debates, Technical Quiz, Technical Seminars, Project and Model Exhibition, Cultural Activities and Sports events.
