The event has been a great success and the efforts put in by I.T.S Engineering College, Greater Noida deserves praise from academia and industry alike for holding such events explicitly meant for the improvement of technical education. The platform provided by the event, no doubt, shall have a long lasting impact in the minds of the participants as they were being judged by experts from industry and academia together. This also provided an opportunity of interaction of these two broadly divided streams that seldom seems to move together. Needless to say that the pace of technological developments in industry is faster than it is in academics especially in private education sector and this type of interaction can play a vital role in bringing them together at a competing pace to meet new challenges.
