Quiz Competition 'Tech-India' Under the name and Style 'Mind the Gap'

PANIPAT, India - Oct. 26, 2018 - PRLog -- Standing at the Delhi Metro station one hears this phrase thousands of times a day which has virtually been 'burned' into the memory discs of the commuters.

Having originated in London in 1968 as a safety warning, this phrase has now assumed the status of the most powerful weapon to be used in professional careers. It cries about mobilization of minds to identify what is missing and why, followed by the next question 'what could be.' It is the call bell for the doors of opportunity which are yet to be explored by the inquisitive minds.

Following suit, we at Panipat Institute of Engineering and Technology, an institute rated the Top Engineering Colleges of 2018, have applied this methodology to bridge the gap between industry needs and education system. The aim is to manufacture employment ready students which are acceptable and adaptable in the international scenario.

As a beginning, the first quiz competition titled 'Tech-India' under the name and style 'Mind the Gap', was organized at Kamani Auditorium, New Delhi on 25th October. Around 850 students turned up from at least 50 renowned schools of Delhi, Ghaziabad, Noida, Baghpat, Panipat and Sonipat, which seems a very encouraging figure. Shri M S Bitta, Chairman, All India Anti-Terrorist Front, was the Chief Guest of the day.
