The booth was part of the activities under the students’ programme.
The carnival also featured a car show at the campus parking lot, showcasing more than 50 cars competing against one another in terms of style and looks.

The booths and activities are meant as an exercise to give the students hands-on experience of organising and running an event successfully, as well as inspire a sense of entrepreneurship within them.
