It also hosts the national level technical paper presentation contest “PATRIKA” . There are 10 more events contributing to CRESCO which makes it a huge event. On an average IEEE PESCE conducts 30 events a year. the flagship events being, major workshop, one mini fest(AUCTUS), one major fest(CRESCO), Women’s day, IEEE day. Weekly meets are half day event where all the student members of the student branch meet and share the technical knowledge they have acquired on a subject. This is the platform provided by the IEEE PESCE for its student members to develop their technical knowledge, networking skills and it is also an idea generation forum. In addition to this, IEEE PESCE has taken a project known as “jnaana vikasana initiative” with a view that future of the nation is built on how children are moulded today. Every volunteer visit an institution called vikasana which aids the children rescued from child labour and guide them on their studies, academics and effective personality development. This helps the student members to develop their networking skills by contributing to the society.
