Presenting at reading group has been a wonderful learning experience for me.The best way know what one does know is ask questions of what and why. The preparation before the presentation provided an oppurtunity to ask those questions. To be truthful, I am much more clear about the topic now than I was before I gave the talk. On a different note,I would again like to thank Chayan and Ameer for their help and in preparing the final presentation and in honest feedback during the mocks. Learnt some useful Latex skills from them. Can definitely see myself using them as indispensable aspects of presentations I give in future.

Shikhar Chouhan | Microelectronics & Electronic Systems

First of all, thanks to organizers for providing me the opportunity to present & discuss our group work among various specialization. It was a wonderful experience & I realized how people from a different background can raise questions which are not easy to anticipate. This is a very powerful initiative & must be carried forward with similar enthusiasm for our upcoming batches & years.
