Chapter - 1
Introduction
This report documents the various extracurricular and co-curricular activities undertaken during the
academic years 2021-2025. These activities encompass a diverse range of experiences, including
technical workshops, symposium volunteering, social service initiatives, etc
Participation in these activities has significantly contributed to the holistic development of professional
skills, teamwork abilities, leadership qualities, and social responsibility awareness.
Technical and Cultural Event Participation: I actively participated in BMS College of Engineering’s
flagship cultural fest, Utsav-Envisage, engaging in a diverse set of events such as “Vistaar” (2022),
“Cadenza” (2022), “Mirage” (2023), “Duo Dash”, “Exit Strategy”, “Fly-in Fiesta”, and “Prathidhwani”
(2024). These experiences allowed me to explore creative problem-solving, team collaboration, and
out-of-the-box thinking. I also took the stage in “Last Actor Standing,” where I honed my performance
and public speaking skills.
Event Management and Leadership: I served as the Event Coordinator for “Battle of Bands” and
“LiveWire 2.0” during Utsav 2024, where I led teams in organizing and executing large-scale cultural
events. Additionally, I took on the role of Club Coordinator for Ninaad from August 2023 to August
2024. These roles strengthened my leadership, planning, and communication abilities while giving me
hands-on experience in managing people and logistics under pressure.
Internship and Industry Engagement: From May to August 2024, I interned at Corvid India Pvt Ltd,
where I applied my technical knowledge to real-world projects. This experience exposed me to industry
practices, software development workflows, and collaborative engineering, helping me bridge the gap
between academic theory and professional application.
`
Cultural Expression and Team Participation: I explored my creative side through various cultural
performances, including “Prathidhwani” in Utsav 2024, which allowed me to collaborate with peers,
express myself artistically, and contribute to a vibrant student community. These experiences helped
me develop a well-rounded personality and a strong sense of teamwork.
NSS special camp : During the NSS special camp, we collaborated with a local school to support its
educational and cleanliness initiatives.We helped clean and organize the school premises, creating a
more welcoming environment for students. Our team conducted awareness sessions on hygiene and the
importance of education for school children. We painted classrooms and planted saplings to enhance
the school’s surroundings.The experience allowed us to connect with students and contribute
meaningfully to the school community.
