TO THE LAND WHERE TOPSY-TURVY IS THE NORM!

On 26th September, The Students of Semester III put up a splendid recreation of one of our all-time favourite childhood reads, Alice in Wonderland!

'Trails Through Wonderland' as it is called, the students in four groups dressed up as lively characters presented Lewis Carroll's creation via Illustrations, Narrations, Song, Drama, Poems and vivid props that truly scaled up the ambience of the Administrative Seminar Hall into Alice's Wonderland.
From The Iconic Rabbit hole to the Tea Table of the Mad Hatter and from little Alice to the 'Drink Me' potion, every element was covered with awe-striking efforts and charm.

Join in as we take you Once more through the Amazing Day with these memorabilias...

"TEACHER'S DAY 2022"

A successful day. After all the hustle and bustle, the confusion, the frustration the event finally became a huge success. Our dear professors enjoyed every moment of it, even the students enjoyed every part of the program... I'd call it a memorable day.
