The atmosphere at Chandigarh University was electric, filled with "InnovBots" (the official mascots) and groundbreaking ideas.
CU AI Mission: The university launched a dedicated mission to train 1.5 lakh youth in AI ethics and technology, a vision that aligns perfectly with A2IT’s commitment to skill-based education.
The AI Hack Matrix: A 48-hour power-packed hackathon focused on "AI for Good: Solutions for Social Impact," where students developed real-world solutions for societal challenges.
Expert Insights: Global icons like Ronnie Screwvala (upGrad) and Ankur Warikoo (WebVeda) shared the stage, emphasizing that "AI will not replace humans, but humans using AI will."
Star Events: From the Campus Tank (startup launchpad) to the Drone Forge workshops, the fest showcased that AI is no longer a futuristic concept—it is our present reality.
At A2IT InternEdge, our sponsorship of the AI Fest reflects our core mission: Bridging the gap between academic theory and industry reality. During the event, we interacted with hundreds of passionate students who are eager to master technologies like Python, Machine Learning, and Data Analytics. Our team showcased how our 6-month industrial training and stipend-based internships are helping students from CU and other top universities turn their "AI Fest ideas" into "market-ready careers."
