Look, there’s a deer! 

In February, we invited international students studying in various universities across Chennai to take part in Experience IIT Madras, a one-of-a-kind student fair on campus. They were given a rounded picture of the institution; the various programmes it offers; facilities and scholarships that are available to students coming from diverse backgrounds. The day-long event, organised for the first time by IIT-M, saw the participation of over 90 students and faculty members from eight universities who had the opportunity to explore the campus via a tour that had several pit stops. We captured their experience and enthusiasm in the form of a photo feature. We let the pictures speak for themselves.

An interactive online game on Kahoot ensured laughs and smiles. Teaching through games is one initiative faculty use to make learning fun.
