The seven years stay at this institute transformed me into a more responsible citizen.
When I was admitted to this place, after my matriculation, for an integrated seven years course in Engineering, I had no clue what I was going to do, but as time progressed, things started falling into place.
This campus has changed me for good and I am indebted to it forever.
