SAY IT WITH A PLACARD
What could be a better way to wish a brand that has been working incessantly to instill confidence in the profession than by showcasing the pride one feels for the profession. And that’s exactly what the students of our Noida campus did. They spelled out their individual sentiments, in a collective way.
THE SELFIE BOOTH
For students, no celebration is complete without selfies that are instantly shared on social media. To facilitate the same, an instant selfie sharing kiosk was setup, which remained a big hit. The students had to stand in front of the machine with inbuilt camera – check the preview of the photo on the screen in front of them and capture the shot. The pictures were given out instantly in soft copy as well as hard copy. The students also had the option to share the photographs on social media.
