Student Chapter Experiences
Organizing HackMatrix 4.0 with a ₹75,000+ prize pool under GFG PCCOE and AiMSA gave us hands-on experience in managing large-scale 24-hour hackathons and collaborating with top AI innovators.
The technical workshops and competitive coding culture cultivated by GFG and IEEE at PCCOE gave me the confidence to compete nationally and win ₹2,00,000 at the GSMA Open Gateway Hackathon 2025.
Being part of AAAI and IEEE CS chapters opened doors to global research papers, international AI tech talks, and organizing events like SYP TECHXPUNE '25 and INSIGHTX CTF.
