emerging branch of IT which is widely

prevalent in the industry. This is the

first instance of the application of this

domain to academia in India. Two

patents have been filed at the Indian

Patents office to protect the

intellectual property related to the PI

360 framework. The Vice Chancellor

also inaugurated the MIET Mobile

Application for both iOS and Android

platforms which has been developed

in-house at the Center for Mobile

I SurviveAdventure Boot CampTwenty five I-Survive camps across three levels were

rolled out from April to May 2015 for all the 1500+

students of MIET. The camps were received very well by

the students who described it as a unique experience. For

a majority of the students it was a first time exposure to

camping and adventure activities and they appreciated

the efforts put in by the college authorities in creating this

experience for them. The special draw among the

adventure activities was the 100 ft. climb and free-fall

using a special climbing net which all students found very

challenging yet thrilling. Professional trainers put the

students through grueling activities designed at imparting

life-skills to the students. Apart from providing an

adrenalin-rush these activities also imparted key

learnings pertaining to overcoming individual fear and

mental-blocks, pushing yourself and testing your limits

and finally trusting others and working as a team. The

camps have been conceived and executed to create

world-class student experiences at MIET.
