Pande expressed openness to collaborations, emphasizing the potential application of their technology to solve real-world challenges. Pande stated, "Our chatbot is more than just information delivery; it's a gateway to promoting meaningful discussions. We welcome collaborations and discussions on how this technology can be applied to make a lasting impact."
Dr. Abhay Bansal, the Dean of the School of Computer Science and Engineering Technology, expressed hope for increased participation and future accomplishments. He said, "Looking forward to more participation and continued great achievements in the future. I hope these initiatives make our students industry-ready!"
In the rapidly evolving digital landscape, the synergy between academia and industry is pivotal for success. Driven by a commitment to nurturing innovation and imparting practical skills, the Industry Hackathon presented an exciting opportunity for college students to demonstrate their creativity and problem-solving abilities.
The hackathon not only showcased the remarkable collaboration and innovation between institutions and industry players but also underscored the pivotal role of students in driving meaningful change.
