Sports!

It has been several years since our campus last celebrated the Annual Sports Day. To the best of our memory, the previous full-scale Sports Day was conducted in 2019. After that, the COVID-19 pandemic and other constraints made it difficult to organise the event on a large scale. However, selection trials and small sports meets were conducted every year.

The Annual Sports Day was finally celebrated on 27 January 2026. The meet was named Astra 2026. The event began with a grand opening ceremony that included a march past by all the four houses - Ruby, Emerald, Sapphire, and Topaz. The inauguration also featured the Olympic torch relay.




Competitions were conducted in a wide range of events, including 100 m (men and women), relays (men and women), long jump, 1500 m, 5000 m, shot put, javelin throw, and discus throw. The events witnessed good participation from students.

The campus has also made significant investments in sports infrastructure, including a new cricket ground, two football grounds, and other supporting facilities. Regular coaching camps are conducted for football, volleyball, cricket, and basketball, which have helped our students win several prizes at the university level. Many of our students also represent the university teams.

On the day of the Sports Meet, the grounds truly came alive!
