Conducting the annual cultural fest
Infin8, the flagship annual cultural fest is conducted and organized by SAC. It is an inter-college fest which sees participants from several colleges across the country.
This year, in spite of the pandemic situation the country was in, we organized the fest with the same enthusiasm, having a weekend of celebration from 26th March to 28th March. Several events were conducted on campus, like Karaoke night, Flash Mob and Treasure Hunt.
