During an information session on the NIT Warangal, he explained the institute history, academic programmes, research, placements, facilities and international collaborations they have.

The Admissions Chairman Prof DV Shiva Sharma has explained the JOSAA counselling procedures through a power-point presentation. He highlighted common mistakes committed by students in choice filling, submission of documents, and payment of fee and asked the students to avoid such mistakes. He was supported by admissions team who addressed several questions of the students and their parents.

Dean (International Relations and Alumni Affairs) Prof KV Jayakumar presented a report on the institute and what it offers for the prospective students. Dean (Students Welfare) Prof LRG Reddy explained the details of festivals, sports, co-curricular activities and student’s life on the campus.

Chief Warden Prof A Venu Vinod gave the details of the hostels on campus for boys and girls. Later on the day, the participants were taken on a visit to various departments to learn about the specific branch of engineering, interact with faculty and also visit laboratories.
