                     MECHSEPT provided a great platform to students to innovate new and different ideas and to shape it in the real sense. It’s a stage to have fun with education, an enjoyment with knowledge, a laugh with a meaning. So this is the chance, rather an opportunity to develop, innovate, to find, to gain and above all to be different.

                The registration for MECHSEPT’12 was free and kept online http://www.gardividyapith.ac.in/mechsept12. The response was overwhelming and around 600 students registered for it.
