PINNACLE - 05

Ye! Pinnacle, a national level technical symposium for mechanical engineers hosted by CEG, was so technical that it went beyond the comprehending ability of the freshers, to some extent.

But I assure you, it was overwhelmingly good(upto the level I could understand the technicality). Pinnacle was held on 17th and 18th of March. Classes were suspended for all mechanical engineers of CEG, on account of this.

Prodigies from various colleges all over India participated and performed exceedingly well. There were quizzes, paper presentations, project presentations and what not?
It was a well planned and ingeniously executed symposium by CEG.

Coming to the most vital part. The quality of lunch provided on those two days, went beyond our expectations. It was informed that the lunch was unlimited. So, we were all mentally prepared for a "little less quality" lunch. But it so luscious that it took us to heaven. Every item was delicious.

We, first years, were denied of paper presentations. So some of my colleagues who had interest and zeal in it, were a bit upset. Every agenda was excellently planned and optimistically executed, though there were some freaky obstacles.

And coming to the paper presentation session. I dunno about other colleges. But if u r a student of CEG, u would have an oppurtunity to listen to paper presentaions quiet frequently. Not only paper presentations but also to other technical discussions. We CEGians will never be deprived of these things.

And during pinnacle, I was fortunate enough to listen to some 10 to 15 papers presented by other college representatives.[It was a paper presentation competition.].

All the colleges were profusely talented in paper presentations, but when it comes to QUERIES session, the other side of the coin commences to show up.

What, I noticed of all of them, was that they are a bit amateur in answering to the queries. Especially, here in CEG, our professors(who were the judges for the competitions) cross-questioned the participants with some freaky queries which made them sweat in the middle of the dais. They stood, unanswering them, in imbroglio whether to attempt on it or give a bashful "don't know" to the judges.

So, i think for paper presentations, an indepth understanding of the concept, on the subject of presentation, is a necessity.

Pinnacle aimed at bringing out prodigies, erupt out their skills and hidden capabilities. I came to know that this year's pinnacle was an unprecedented success.
