The Student Activities section included all the activities specified in the program plan, such as computer and elocution skills, public speaking, dictation, as well as reading and fun games in the specially prepared halls and labs.

The various sections of the Activities Program received a good turnout and interaction on the part of the institute's students. This is because of the diversity in skills, training courses and scientific lectures it included.
