🎉 Proud moments like these make every effort worthwhile! I am delighted to share that two of our student teams secured First and Third prizes at the Hackathon organized as part of the 10th International Test Conference (ITC) India, held in Bengaluru from July 19–21, 2026. ✨Our B.Tech ECE (2024–2028) team Shaun Sebastian , Nishanth M , Sanjay S Subramaniam , Gouri S Nair has won FIRST prize for the project titled "A fault model for guided-wave optical interconnects in die-to-die architectures" and team of BTech ECE (2023-2027) Adithya R Prabhu , Alan Thomas Paul , K S Niranjan , Kevin Jose has won THIRD prize for the project titled "Observability- based functional fault modeling for RISC-V processors". 📍 What makes this achievement even more special is that the motivation to participate in this hackathon was sparked by the TTTC-India Workshop that we organized at IIIT Kottayam in January 2026. It is truly gratifying to see how this initiative has inspired our students to take on new challenges and excel on a national platform. A special note of thanks to Navin Bishnoi , Nikhil Sudhakaran , Jaidev Shenoy Jaynarayan T Tudu , @Binod kumar, Akash Shimpi , Abhishek Chaudhary for their encouragement and support in making this journey possible. ✨ Seeing our students showcase their innovation, teamwork, and technical excellence on a national platform is immensely rewarding.
