Event Details: The exhibition featured 446 projects selected from over 1,700 submissions, displayed across 150 stalls representing 17 engineering departments (Computer Science, Mechanical, Civil, etc.). It was inaugurated by Suhas Gopinath (CEO, Global Inc., RIT alumnus), M.R. Janakiram (Vice Chairman, Gokula Education Foundation) and M.R. Kodandaram (Director, RIT). Suhas Gopinath said, "During my college days, I worked on many similar projects. It is gratifying to see such innovation today. It is true that Artificial Intelligence (AI) has impacted the IT industry. However, employees must also understand this reality. Those who do not upgrade their skills face greater risks. Therefore, professionals should focus on skill development, while students should be given greater exposure to practical learning." M.R. Kodandaram stated, "More than 1,700 projects were submitted for consideration in this two-day exhibition. Out of these, 446 projects were selected for display..." Attendees also included Dr. N.V.R. Naidu (Principal, RIT), Dr. Parswanath H.V (Chief Executive, Engineering and General Sciences, Gokula Education Foundation) and Dr. Karisiddappa (Advisor, Gokula Education Foundation). Highlighted projects included a Hybrid Bike employing hybrid car technology, rainwater conservation solutions, AR/VR applications, and smart grid innovations.
