The competitions conducted by the council are – Poster making, Parol making, and virtual carol competition highlighted the event receiving thousands of reactions and amazement of the fellow Flames as students from the different departments of the university showcased their talents not only through their singing, crafting, and poster-making skills, but also kudos to the students behind these virtual events like the editors of the carol entries, and photographers of Parol making and poster making contests.
