Robotics, drones and competitions
Students work on robotics and drone projects through the Medha Robotics Centre and the Marut Drones R&D Centre, and compete nationally in Battle Bots and radio car racing events. The campus drone assembling, repair and service centre gives students hands-on hardware experience, and 24 students earned DGCA Remote Pilot Certificates in AY 2025–26 through the on-campus training organisation.
Entrepreneurship Development Cell
The EDC, launched in April 2025, is among the most active student bodies on campus — 27 startups emerged from it in AY 2025–26. It runs ideation and startup-lifecycle workshops with mentors from T-Works, NSIC, IIIT’s Centre for Innovation and Entrepreneurship, and the Hyderabad startup ecosystem, covering business model design, market validation, prototyping, funding, IPR and growth strategy.
Workshops, talks and cultural activity
Around 30 sessions and hands-on workshops run across the academic year — roughly two to three every month — spanning technical training, industry interaction, life skills and wellbeing. Students also take part in the institute’s cultural and celebratory events, including orientation and convocation programmes held in the campus auditorium.
