Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Palakkad threw open its Nila campus at Kanjikode for the public on Saturday as part of celebrating its annual open house. The two-day open house is attracting school students in groups.
The event named Petrichor also marked the annual techno-cultural festival of the institute. Although it was proclaimed as an occasion for students aspiring to join IIT Palakkad to experience the institute’s dynamic environment first-hand, the scorching sun and lack of proper guidance through the campus could leave a visitor in the lurch.
IIT officials said that they expected about 5,000 people, mostly students from Kerala and Tamil Nadu, to visit the campus on Saturday and Sunday.
