Previous WinnerAs the 1st Prize winner of the Poster Presentation Competition my experience at IIT Bombay Aakaar was truly enriching. Being recognized at Asia’s largest civil engineering festival was both an honor and a strong source of motivation. A key highlight was interacting with students from different states across India, which encouraged the exchange of diverse ideas, perspectives, and technical insights. The competition upheld high academic standards, supported by a transparent evaluation process and knowledgeable judges. Overall, Aakaar offers an outstanding national-level platform that promotes innovation, collaboration, and holistic learning among aspiring civil engineers.

Previous WinnerParticipating in the 17th AAKAAR IIT Bombay International Civil Engineering Symposium was an inspiring experience. As second semester students, we gained exposure to strong poster presentations across diverse civil engineering fields. Along with Gayathri and Dev Srivastava, we presented a poster on financial strategies for adopting green construction in India. Interacting with participants and judges helped us improve our research and presentation skills, and winning the second prize further motivated us to pursue research-oriented work early in our academic journey.
