Hi guys, this has undoubtedly been the busiest and most exhausting week of my life. Just for a change, i thought of instead of writing an essay, i'd present it to you in numbers!

5,000
the approximate number of Freshers that have arrived this week!

20,000
the approximate number of membership handbooks distributed to students so far. For an online version just click here!

400
the approximate number of RAs, Mentors, Freshers Fest Crew, Hall Ambassadors and Officers involved in helping Moving-In weekend run smoothly.
