Earlier this year the team won State Level Hackathon conducted by IIC, DCRUST to shortlist teams which will be considered for funding and received the Fellowship worth 4 lakh INR to complete their project idea. More than 50 Teams from Haryana participated in that competition and only three teams were considered for funding depending on their business model.
Overall, it was a great experience, a source of motivation and encouragement for students as they got the golden opportunity to represent college on nationally recognized funding platform - iHUB as well as to interact with esteemed panelists from IIT-Roorkee and DCRUST during their 4 month fellowship program.
