Students from every department will get a chance to participate. Law students will get a chance to participate in moot courts, while hospitality students will get to participate in ‘Young Chefs’. For fashion designing students, there is ‘Project Runway’ and science students will get to build robots and other crafts.<br /><br />One of the main attractions will be the international food festival where students can get a taste of different cuisines from around the country and the globe. “At college fests, the food stall is always one of the most important places as everyone wants to eat something. So we want to make it as varied as ever so that there are endless choices,” said Sunaina.<br /><br />The job fair will have representatives from companies offering information on placements and job prospects while the education fair will have representatives from numerous universities, both within the country and abroad to speak to students about their choices in universities.<br /></p>
