  3. Expert lectures are organised to help students learn more about the chosen field or any other particular section. For eg. A two-day schedule for Electrical engineering students will comprise lectures on power electronics, microcontroller, microprocessors, electronics and other such topics. Lectures are given by the faculty of the college and guest lecturers are also invited for the same.
  4. If you want to do something new as a part of this club, you might have to spend hours and hours in the laboratory doing research and working on your project. It takes a lot of time to come up with something new which catches the attention of the faculty.
