The alumni association of IIT-Kharagpur is organising a welcome programme for hundreds of new students ahead of their joining classes, which is a first-of-its-kind event being organised in the IIT system.
Organised by the IIT-Kharagpur Alumni Foundation (India), the official alumni association of IIT-Kgp, events have been scheduled at various locations in the country for both the new joinees and passing out students this year.
The Kolkata chapter of the foundation hosted the event today at the city extension campus of the IIT.
"The objective of 'Swagatam KGPians' is to welcome the fresh passing out students from IIT Kharagpur who have sought employment in Kolkata as well as the successful JEE students who have decided to join IIT Kharagpur this year," said Sujata Roy, Vice President, IIT Kharagpur Alumni Foundation (India).
He said the first year students, who will join classes on July 22, will be provided a glimpse of life that they are getting into and get a feel of the do's and don'ts in the next four years of their life.
Ramachandran said: "Digital cinema technology has advanced
incredibly over the past several years to become a formidable force in the film industry. Festivals like IIT Techfest allow technicians to better navigate this new landscape, by continuing to nurture innovations, talents, technologies and cultures on a global level."
"Qube Cinema shares Techfest's vision for continued ideation and innovation development," Ramachandran added. "We do this each and every day by creating products which strengthen the relatioship between filmmakers internationally, and offering unique services to aid the distribution of film product to the far corners of our industry."
Qube is also the presenting partner for Rakesh Sharma's keynote at IIT Techfest. Ashok Chakra-awardee Sharma became the first Indian to go into space when he flew aboard the Soyuz T-11, launched on April 2, 1984, as part of the Intercosmos programme.
Delegates can also look forward to a Qube Cinema presentation of TVF Tripling, which will see the team behind the blockbuster web series.
