The Department of Chemical Engineering is organizing an industrial visit to Resil Chemicals on 25th February 2026 for VI semester students.
This visit will provide students with practical exposure to specialty textile chemistry, nanotechnology-based fabric finishes, and sustainable chemical practices. They will gain insights into industrial-scale formulation, quality control, and eco-friendly innovations, while also learning about global certifications such as OEKO-TEX and SA8000.
The visit bridges classroom concepts with real-world applications, enhances awareness of sustainability in chemical industries, and inspires career opportunities in research, innovation, and entrepreneurship.

The Department of Electronics and Communication (Advanced Communication Technology) is organising an industrial visit to the IISc Open Day on 7^th March 2026 for the students of the EC(ACT) department. This industrial visit is expected to provide students with direct exposure to cutting-edge research demonstrations, state-of-the-art laboratories, and innovative projects showcased across the various departments. Students will gain enhanced understanding of real-world scientific applications, research methodologies, and emerging technologies through interactions with IISc faculty members, researchers, and student innovators.

The Department of Industrial IoT will be conducting a Club Activity titled “Coding Challenge using Python Programming” on 14.03.2026. This club activity aims help students develop logical coding skills using Python programming.

The activity aims to:

• To expand students’ coding skills and foster innovation using Python concepts
• To improve problem-solving skills, promote collaboration, write efficient and readable Python code, solve complex problems using Python libraries and frameworks, implement algorithms and data structures, handle errors and exceptions, and optimize code for performance.
