He however congratulates the students who were present, saying that they have the opportunity to interact with experts and also charged students of the university to be serious, in order to be well rated globally.

The VC who was inaugurated early this year pleaded that the programme be conducted annually and promised to support Alcatel. He called for partnership from other corporate organizations and declared the Programme open

The Gnex Alcatel Lucent Programme is a lecture class that will run for twelve Saturdays at LG Design Lab, Faculty of Engineering and is opened to interested students of the University.
