IEEE Xtreme 3.0

IEEE Xtreme 3.0, the most exciting 24-hour online coding competition, was organized and held successfully by the IEEE Student Members for the first time at SNIST on 24th October, 2009, and a record number of 82 students participated.

We ensured efficient organization of the event providing all the necessary facilities for the participants. We had also motivated over 25 members to join IEEE Computer Society (2010), the current strength being 52 members.

IEEE PRESIDENTS CHANGE THE WORLD

Our student branch has actively taken part in this competition too. Right from campaigning of this big event to building the final projects, the students made sure that their thoughts reach the world through this ultra wide platform and network of engineers. Though we couldnt submit the final working projects because of lack of time and clash with University exams, we made sure that we are submitting and winning laurels next year.
