The Clubs and Societies Office collaborates with all academic departments to establish a Class Representative System and facilitates club registration.
The institute actively encourages students to contribute to these societies through participation as well as introducing new clubs that interest them. The office is responsible for providing necessary forms, including Expression of Interest, Event Proposal Form, Facilities Requirement Form, and Event Planning Guideline, to initiate activities and any other necessary support to keep the ball rolling.
