Irrespective of being a technical fest, a festive environment prevailed in the campus The fervor
and passion of students about the fest were remarkable. They showed their keen interest and took
part in various events and enjoyed them thoroughly. It was a great moment for the entire CET
family when such an event was once again successfully organized this year with the hard work of
student coordinators ,along with the constant support and encouragement of the College
authorities and staff.

What started out last year as a humble attempt by our seniors at organizing the colleges own
technical fest,has this time significantly grown bigger and better to become the fiesta of the
season.
DRISHTI13 truly celebrated the spirit of creativity, innovation and technical expertise in its full
vigor.On this happy note,I hereby conclude the DRISHTI13 report.

Thankyou All.
