OVERVIEW PICT IEEE Student Branch was established in 1983 and since the last 7 years, we have been organizing this techfest called CREDENZ. Known to be one of the finest technical symposiums in the country, it comprises mainly of technical competitions like Paper Presentation and C'lash. For the first time, we have introduced two Designing Events –WebWeaver and Pixelate.

Pixelate, which is initiated in association with Teach For India, is a poster designing competition. This is your chance to communicate your message, not with speech, but with colors, pictures, designs and words!

Teach For India is a nationwide movement of outstanding college graduates and young professionals who will commit two-years to teach full-time in under resourced schools and who will become lifelong leaders working from within various sectors toward the pursuit of equity in education. It aims to bring about awareness with regard to the quality of education in the country and strives to upgrade the same. It educates those children who do not have adequate resources to attend a conventional school. Teach For India recently won the award for the best non-profit organization to work for in the Economic Times Great Places to Work survey 2011.
