A team of six students from the Computer Science & Engineering Department at Himalayan School of Science & Technology, Swami Rama Himalayan University, participated in Xpecto’25, IIT Mandi’s prestigious annual techno-cultural festival held from 29th to 31st March 2025. The event brought together bright young minds from across India to engage in cutting-edge technical competitions, workshops, and networking activities.
Our students actively competed in the FrostHack hackathon, a highlight of Xpecto’25, where participants were challenged to develop innovative tech solutions addressing real-world problems within tight deadlines. The festival also featured the Prototype Presentation competition, offering a platform to showcase practical innovations with significant real-world applications.
We are proud to announce that two of our students, Shubham Gangari and Akhilesh Rawat, both second-year B.Tech CSE, secured the First Prize in the Prototype Presentation competition. Their innovative idea and polished presentation impressed the judging panel, earning acclaim for its creativity, feasibility, and potential impact.
With a total of six participants representing HSST at the event, Xpecto’25 provided a valuable opportunity for students to apply their academic knowledge, foster creativity, and engage with a national community of innovators and future leaders.
The event not only served as a platform for showcasing technical talent but also inspired our students to expand their horizons beyond academics. Their success at a competitive national forum reflects the growing caliber and potential of SRHU’s students.
Participation in Xpecto’25 helped our students develop skills in innovation, teamwork, and problem-solving, reinforcing their readiness for future challenges and opportunities in technology and entrepreneurship.
