Acm Student Chapter, Nit Trichy

The Department of Computer Applications has the unique distinction of being the pioneer in establishing India's first ACM Student's Chapter. ACM's headquarter is located in New York. It is dedicated towards spreading computer awareness among students. This chapter regularly conducts seminars, lecture series and quiz contests apart from conducting annual meets like ACUMEN and INFOTREK. This chapter also releases a monthly online news magazine called the "ACM Newsletter" which keeps us abreast of the latest developments in the IT industry. ACM sponsors candidates for various MCA meets where our students participate and emerge in flying colors. INFOTREK is an Inter-Department technical meet that is conducted every year, and is host to all the departments in the college. The festival includes Seminars and Guest Lectures by the software professionals from various organizations who have gained expertise in their field. ACUMEN is an Intra-Department technical meet for MCA's. The events mainly center around the first year students of the MCA family, and aim to train them in both technical and managerial abilities.
