After a long wait for two years, finally we had our favourite function in the department i.e. "THE TRADITIONAL DAY". This special day is celebrated by cultural dresses and cultural performances by the earthlings every year.

This day the function was conducted by ERSA Literary and Cultural Secretary Abhishek Mukherjee. All students came with their own cultural dresses. Based on Eastern, Western , Northern and Southern Indian cultures, students are divided into four groups. Every group had to come up on stage and had to speak something about their culture like food, dress, music etc. Based on the presentation and performance of each group, they were judged by Prof. G.N.Jadav, and was given points.

All groups were performed well. Eastern group had performed few songs [Bengali], and few recitations. Classical dance performance by a freshie was enjoyed by all. Southern group had performed a great song which everybody liked and appreciated.

At end of the day, judge had declared the group with most points in all respects [ performance, dress, presentation]. It was the Eastern group who won the most points. Other groups had also earned considerable points.

It was a great day for students. The whole department was looking so different. Other faculties had also enjoyed the function.

It was truly "UNITY IN DIVERSITY".

Photos coming soon............

Quite rightly said that the sun has shone over the department once again, after a good placement season last year, this year was proving to be a great one, and especially so after today, when we can proudly stand up to say that the M.Sc (Applied Geology) batch has been placed fully, i.e., what was commonly a hush hush news has come true, they have proved their might. Wait a minute, the M.Sc (Applied Geology) people are no far left behind, though not 100% but there has been 84% campus placements this year, by far the best placement season the department has perhaps seen. This only goes on to prove that the earthlings rule and that still IIT-B stays the best place to come down for your further studies.
