CINTEL STUDENT ASSOCIATION
The Cintel Student Association at SRMIST is a platform that fosters innovation, skill development, and real-world problem-solving in the field of Computational Intelligence. It provides students with opportunities to enhance their technical expertise through workshops, coding competitions, hackathons, and research initiatives while also encouraging collaboration and creativity.
The association works closely with faculty and industry experts to offer hands-on learning experiences, bridging the gap between academics and industry needs. It also promotes corporate social responsibility, encouraging students to give back to society by engaging in community service activities.
Beyond technical growth, the association helps students build leadership, teamwork, and networking skills, creating an environment that supports both personal and professional development. Through its diverse activities, Cintel student association empowers students to stay at the forefront of technology and prepares them for successful careers.
Capture the Flag & Bug Busters
The Capture the Flag (CTF) challenge is an exciting cybersecurity competition designed to test participants’ problem-solving and ethical hacking skills. Competitors will navigate real-world security scenarios, uncovering hidden “flags” through a series of puzzles and challenges.
Bug Busters is a fast-paced debugging contest where participants race against the clock to identify and fix errors in code. This event enhances programming skills, logical thinking, and troubleshooting abilities, helping students sharpen their technical expertise.
Both events provide a hands-on learning experience, encouraging participants to apply their knowledge in practical cybersecurity and coding environments. Open to students of all skill levels, these challenges foster critical thinking, teamwork, and technical mastery in an engaging and competitive setting.
Tech-Q: A Thrilling Tech Quiz Challenge
The Cintel Student Association, in collaboration with HCL Technologies, hosted an exhilarating Tech-Q quiz contest, putting participants’ technology knowledge to the test. Held on 4th August 2023 at Ramachandran Hall, Biotech Block, the event brought together students from various universities for an intense tech showdown.
The quiz covered a wide range of tech-related topics, challenging participants with thought-provoking questions and offering a fun yet competitive experience. The winning team walked away with a cash prize of ₹10,000 and the prestigious title of Ultimate Tech Champions.
Beyond competition, Tech-Q was an opportunity for students to learn, engage, and connect with fellow tech enthusiasts. The Cintel Association continues to foster a passion for technology, promising more exciting events in the future!
Drone Workshop: A Five-Day Journey into Innovation
The drone workshop at SRM University was an exciting five-day learning experience, starting with theory sessions led by Siemens technical experts. These sessions ignited participants’ curiosity about drone technology and its real-world applications.
As the workshop progressed, participants formed teams to design and build drones from scratch, fostering innovation and teamwork. The highlight was the drone flying training session, where students got hands-on experience in piloting drones, refining their technical and operational skills.
Beyond practical training, students explored the future of drone technology and its expanding role in industries like agriculture, delivery services, and search and rescue operations. This workshop provided a valuable foundation for aspiring drone enthusiasts, equipping them with both technical knowledge and hands-on expertise.
Inculcating Social Responsibility Among Students
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is instilled in students even before they enter the corporate world, teaching them the importance of giving back to society. The goal is to foster social accountability and encourage students to make a positive impact on their communities.
CSR can be embraced in various ways, such as environmental sustainability, promoting diversity and inclusion, treating employees with respect, and making ethical business decisions.
The CIntel Students actively contributed to social causes by teaching computer skills to underprivileged children at Hope Charitable Trust and local schools. They also dedicated their weekends to spending time with autistic students, engaging them in arts and crafts activities. Through these initiatives, they demonstrated the true essence of giving back and making a difference in the lives of others.
