Velammal College Symposium

Today was an informative day to me and I had gained a fair amount of knowledge about symposiums and tech fests. There were many events like Paper presentation, Debugging, Gaming, Quiz, Dumb C, Ad zap, Mock interview. I had a chance to participate in everything but paper presentation, Ad zap. It was a wonderful experience and it was really a refreshing one considering the fact that most of the days in the college are really boring and loaded with bookish and academic works.

I went to the symposium with my school friend Arun and six other friends from my college. First we went to debugging prelim where two members are allowed per team. I paired up with my best friend Arun who has a good amount of computer knowledge. We were able to solve c, c++ programs but unfortunately both of us didn’t have any clue about Java programs which eluded us the ticket to the finals. Then we went to the quiz prelim where once I again I paired up with my ssn pal, where we had a narrow miss to the final by failing to answer three star questions having more marks compared to other questions.

Next we landed up to participate in Dumb C, with my team comprising Arun and my another best friend santy. As per our plan Arun was made to enact the phrase. But we didn’t expect to get a difficult phrase (“Axiomatically tight bound”) which I believe is almost impossible for anyone to find in stipulated two minutes time. Then at last we went to Mock interview which is similar to real interview except that we don’t have an aptitude test. We were grouped into sets of 10 and we had Group Discussion (about love and arranged marriages), where we had a good discussion with me more strongly speaking about the latter.

Then I gave Gaming a miss because I personally do not like to play Games much.


I would like to appreciate the organizers of the symposium and a thanks to my HOD for granting me OD.

Totally we had a great day though we could not bag even a single and this makes me more confident that I can win many in the future……………….
