staff of the University for taking it to greater pinnacles with DTU being ranked 34 in the Engineering category of the India

Invictus, the Annual Technical festival saw the culmination of intellect and technical skills in a wide range of platforms
during its three-day course. Various events of both technical and business calibre were organised that aimed to encourage
scientific yearning in students. I would like to congratulate the entire Technical Council and the team of Invictus for the
splendid success of the fest.
This semester, Engifest soared to newer heights with a star-studded line up comprising of Vishal-Shekhar, Mankirt Aulakh
and international EDM artist Quintino. The fest comprised of a plethora of events and witnessed exceptional footfall. I
commend the Cultural Council and the entire Engifest team for orchestrating a fest of this colossal magnitude effortlessly.
A healthy mind resides in a healthy body. Keeping with this ethos, the Sports Council successfully organised Aahvaanthe
inter-college sports fest of DTU. The fest saw immense participation over a multitude of events during the three days
sports extravaganza. The gym equipment, sports complex and sports facilities saw a revamp for the event. I would like to
