The Informatics Institute of Technology (IIT) opened their doors to visitors last week. In a two-day celebration of innovation, Cutting Edge 2016 took off from 23rd-24th of June 2016. Exhibiting projects they've worked on for the undergrads of the campus, it was a chance to show just how far they've pushed content picked-up at lectures.

Encouraging students to explore their creative sides in devising solutions for practical issues, Cutting Edge has been on IIT's calendar for the past 14 years. With the oil lamp lit, proceedings auspiciously began in the lobby where we saw invitees and dressed-up undergrads congregate.

Speckling the gathering were students representing schools as well. Scheduled to take place alongside the exhibition was an inter-school quiz for O-Level students who made an appearance with their respective teachers-in-charge.

Among the guests invited to weave through the 72 exhibits dispersed on 4 floors of Cutting Edge 2016, were also representatives from a select few corporates the management tells us. We got to make our rounds just as the teams were excitedly scurrying to get their presentations down to the tee for these VIP guests.
