The farewell party Class of 2025 - "Nannai Varatee"

The Civil Seminar Hall, echoed with laughter, tears and a thousand shared memories as we bid an emotional goodbye to the B.Tech Class of 2025 on 26th April 2025. What began as a simple farewell evolved into a heartfelt celebration of four unforgettable years, punctuated by friendship, late-night chat sessions, and the unshakeable spirit that defines our engineering family.

Polaroids of their memories and LED fairy lights floated from the walls, and a slideshow of candid campus moments played on the screen. Student volunteers from S6 Civil had worked since dawn to turn the space into a warm cocoon of nostalgia. Soft instrumental covers set the tone mingled with anticipation.

Dr. Mini P R, Vice Principal, Dr. Unni Kartha G, Dean Academics and Dr. Jiji Antony. Head of Department congratulated the students for their achievements and wished a bright future ahead. The students and the faculty who taught them shared their feedbacks and classroom experience. The event also included dance performances by the outgoing students and fun filled games and tasks coordinated by the pre final year students. Each graduate received a souvenir from the department and a portrait picture of the students of the class. 

The awards for best projects were presented during the event. Mr. Adithyan M S and Mr. Muhammed Rizwan P were announced as the best outgoing students and Mr. Ajithkumar A B and Ms. Santhwana S were announced as the Best performers.

To the Class of 2025: may your blueprints be bold, your formulas flexible, and your foundations forever grounded in the friendships forged here. Farewell is only the first milestone on a road that winds far beyond our red-brick walls.

"La-Gon" - Farewell Party of MTech SECM 2023-25

As a proud member of the 2023-2025 MTech SECM batch, I can confidently say that our farewell party, "La-Gon", was an event filled with laughter, nostalgia, and heartfelt emotions. Organised by our juniors in the presence of all teaching and non-teaching staff of the Department of Civil Engineering on 25 April 2025 was a perfect tribute to our two-year journey.

The event was meticulously arranged and conducted by our juniors, who left no stone unturned to make it memorable for us. The event began with a warm welcome, followed by entertaining performances, fun games, and a touching video montage that took us back to our cherished memories. 

The juniors went above and beyond to make us feel special, with personalised gifts that left many of us emotional. Our teachers gave us their best wishes and reminded us how much effort we put in to reach this point. 

The best moment came when we, the graduating students, got a chance to share our experiences. We expressed our deepest gratitude to our professors and supporting staff for their patience, guidance, and unwavering support.  

As the party ended with group photos, and a delicious lunch, we realized that while our time at FISAT may be over, the bonds we’ve formed here will last a lifetime.

"La-Gon" was not just a goodbye, it was a celebration of growth, friendship, and the beginning of a new chapter.
