On June 11th 2022, Retro Day was held on campus with freshers' day activities by the cultural club.

“Fresher’s Day” in any college is an event which every student eagerly awaits from their time of admission. The fresher’s day was filled with excitement, joy, music, enthusiasm, laughter and happiness. Honestly, we have been waiting to crown the freshers since the day they joined. unfortunately, the pandemic didn’t let it happen, but here we were continuing the tradition of fresher’s day. Everyone, even the staff, looked fantastic because they were all dressed in 70s and 80s-style retro clothing.

The event stared at 11:30 A.M. Sharon Kamala and Sarah CH, both BCA final year students, were the event's hosts. All of the semi-finalists were lined up to compete in their rounds for the prestigious titles of Mr. and Ms. Fresher, and some incredible dance performances by students and our beloved staff were on the way, it was a lot of fun. Everyone was looking forward to seeing the semi-finalists amaze the judges and seniors.

       

 The judges for the event were Roopa Shree ma’am, Sanjeev sir, Shilpa ma’am and Sri Lalitha ma’am. As each semi-finalist walked down the ramp, the hosts gave an introduction. The first round was a one-minute self-introduction round, in which each person had one minute to introduce themselves. Two girls and two boys are eliminated in this round, with the others qualifying for the following round. The judging criterion for this round was communication, fluency, tone and body language, each criterion was given 5 marks each. Following this round, the juniors put on a band performance of oldies. It was a great performance and pretty sure all were drowning in the 80s.

 

The first round's results were released, followed by the second round for those who qualified. The second round was the props round, where the participants are given a random object, which they have to use in a unique and creative way We provided the candidates with props such as scarf, post it notes, candles, shoes, and belts, among other things. Once the round was done, two boys and two girls get eliminated and the rest qualify for the final round. The round was amazing, all the participants did a wonderful job presenting their creativity.
