Here are some of the comments of the participants:

Richu.M.Shelly of Vimal Jyothy Engineering College, Kannur said:

Following this session, I have decided to identify and realize the creator inside me. The points were neatly and orderly organized and presented with a number of live examples quoted from the experience of the faculty. The sessions never remained monotonous. It was interactive and interesting. What impressed me the most is the value you place in your endeavors. Usually programmes like this are more focused on profit whereas you tried delivering your motto in an impressive manner based on ethics. Thankful for the free refreshments provided and I am happy that the day didn't pass by as a good for nothing one.

Manu Jose of Don Bosco College of Engineering said:

The programme was well planned and well executed. The communication style was simple and everyone could follow. The way you interacted was very good. I came to know the opportunities about the around me. After this session I have decided to improve my programming skills and general knowledge and also to become a more sincere person.

Stephy John of CASC, Pilathara said:

I got more knowledge about the IT careers and I have also decided that I will work in the IT field only. I think that the Talent Genie programme is going to be very helpful for my life. Most of all, the seminar was very interesting.

More rounds of the Contest are yet to come. The previous programmes conducted at Trivandrum Rajiv Gandhi Auditorium and at IPSR Calicut also amassed a good number of participants.
