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.\u00a0<\/p><p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Captions by Deepa Alexander.
