KRIDA YANTHRIK
Krida Yanthrik is a National-level intercollegiate techno-sport fest conducted by the Society of Mechanical Engineers at Rajalakshmi Engineering College yearly once.The symposium’s focus was on learning engineering through sports, and so, several sports based events were organized in both technical and non-technical domains, along with numerous surprise events. Generally, around more than 500 students from 40+ colleges in and around Chennai participate in the symposium. The inauguration ceremony took place with dignitaries from expert from industry and sports field.
CONFERENCES
Conference gives the opportunity to learn and share the latest research findings by the researchers. We conduct paper presentation by the academia every year as part of Ingenious. Also, the department conducted international conferences on Recent Advances in Mechanical Engineering, Optimization techniques in Engineering. Department is having a policy of organizing every biennia once National conference and four years once international conference.
