A grand farewell was given to the passing out students of M. Tech (2010 batch) on 14th May 2012 at Gulmohar. Faculty from IEOR too joined in to spend some time with them. It was a fun filled event with the juniors making each of them sing, dance and perform to their requests. The seniors also sportingly complied. A performance by Anirban Ghatak and Debayan Das made the audience tap their feet.

Some memories from the farewell....
