SPORTS Alongside academics it is equally important to keep
your physique maintained too. As the saying goes
‘healthier the body, sharper is the brain’. Few events
of sports that kept all the FTians on the toes this
semester:
El-Classico SBST VS ARCHI - Football Match (1st August 2018)
One of the most interesting match is the SBST vs ARCHI
football match as both of their first years come face to face
against each other for the first time. Whosoever wins, the
crowd, the cheering and the charm makes the entire
evening greatly successful in all ways.
Aman Cup SBST VS SID -Cricket Match
One of the most awaited match in the campus is always
SBST VS SID. It is the time when the crowd goes crazy, the
energy in the air is vitalizing and the madness is just off the
charts. This match is not just a match it is all about that
feeling, aggression, rivalry, the emotions you can feel in the
air.
Table Tennis Tournament
27th September - 27th October 2018
A Tennis tournament was organized by Gaurav Vakil, sports secretary
of FT PG and Jay Joshi from CEM 2017 batch. The energy of players
was tremendous and encouraged more on the spot registrations. Jay
Joshi won the singles title with Shubham Solanki as runner up while,
Kunal and Sabyasachi from Geomatics won doubles having Shubham
Solanki and Vardan Soi as runners up.
Box Cricket League
It’s that time of the year where the Dhonis and the Virats
and even the Bhuvans inside the class are revealed, and
compete further to achieve the top honours. The Battle was
alive and got kickin' between 7 teams of each batch of FT PG
and 1 alumni team. It went long for 3 days and the league
was won by GEO batch 2017 beating BEP batch 2018 in
finals.
“Cultural events are the melting pots of
ideas.”
This is the sentence that that can do complete
justice to events held at FT
EVENTS
Saviskaran 2018
Saviskaran is the cultural night of FT PG celebrated in the
monsoon semester organized by the council of FT PG
and was led by Kunal Shah, cultural secretary of FT PG
and other council members for a successful event. The
event was held in the S.I.D plaza and FT building
decorated with some really interesting installations,
photo booth, etc. made by the students. The whole day
witnessed a gradual turn of events starting from various
games in the day like ‘Minute to win it’, ‘Tambola’, etc.
and leading to a cultural night having performances by
the most energetic students of FT PG and from other
faculty of CEPT university as well. Plethora of jaw
dropping performances from fusion dances to group
singing, poetry recitation to unique acts were
witnessed. Not to forget the crazy DJ party and amazing
dinner as the closing of the night.

SBST Students’
Performance Night
30th September 2018
One of the occasions that
mark an end to the huge E-
Day event. This is a way of
SBST celebrating the success
of their conscientious efforts
to make the event more than
just a day to remember! This
is a warm gathering where
the UG family dances and
sings to the joy of the event.
The students said “SBST has
been a great part of our lives
and this does strike a loud
chord with our sentiments.
E-DAY The most important event in the faculty of technology would undoubtedly be the engineer’s day,
celebrated on the 15th of September. It showcases the ideas that students have carefully thought out
and hence created to be presented during the annual engineer’s day academic exhibition. The
undergraduates celebrate the foundation of the department as tribute to Bharat Ratna Shri M.
Visvesvaraya on his birthday. On this occasion, we select a socially awakening and relevant subject to
sensitise the students towards their societal commitment and in return help the society. The topic for E-Day 2018 is: “Barrier free Access: Accessibility for the differently abled people in public
spaces. Various events as a part of E-day were organized, some of which are:
Workshop at Blind People’s
Association
It gave students a glimpse into
the hardships that people with
disabilities go through on a daily
basis. The students were shown
taught to help specially abled
people.
Performances!
Semi-Classical dances, bands
from the second and first years!
The firth years has a hard time
letting go off of the mike! Some
cried and laughed together and
couldn’t stop singing nostalgic
songs.

` Treasure Hunt and Parade
This workshop was conducted in order to orient
specially abled people around our campus. The
students from the BPA were extremely excited to
tour the CEPT campus. The treasure hunt was a
great success among the students. A Parade was
also organized, starting from the IIM bus stop, the
students started parading towards CEPT holding
banners which showed the purpose of the parade
and the topic for the Engineer's Day.
E-Day Inaugural Event with Expert
lectures:
This is the final and the most important day
that the students work for. The final report
and students' work is showcased to the
guests and the faculties on this day.
Mame Khan
Concert
It was celebrated as
an after show where
all the students were
invited to enjoy a
night of folk music
with the renowned
singer, Mame Khan.
A number of structures and installations
were proposed for this engineer’s day. All
the installations and structures had a wide
range of materials, with joinery and
precision. A seating space with a spring
mechanism using steel, a cantilevered
bamboo installation, a vault structure
created using MDF were some of the
highlights of engineer’s day, 2018. A few
other installations were show-cased the
next day on the cultural night
The ACAD team is not to be
underestimated either. Sleeping for just 2
hours every day till the final report isn’t
compiled is the essence of the ACAD team.
‘Help me find this document asap!’ is what
you’d hear anytime you enter the 5th year
studio. 7 people huddled over a small table
is what they’re all about.
Besides all the effort and hard work that
students had put into bringing their ideas
to life, there is a side to the event
preparations that only the students know.
The senior students eagerly waited for the
engineer’s day to enjoy 3 consecutive days
of working towards the different structures
and installations. Engineer’s day creates an
environment for the students to learn
about new ideas and designs that are
brought forth, workmanship and a whole
new skill set.
2 a.m. chai breaks and gathiya plates are
what engineer’s day is all about.. You could
hear four different genres of music in 4
different corners of the f.t building the
night before the main day. Dinner was
always an hour later than you’d want it to
be, because that’s the f.t way.
We like our mornings when it’s just the
right amount of sunny. Engineer’s day 2018
had the perfect amount of brilliance.
Puzzle?
Can you guess what I say and identify the language?
