About the Event
KARIGAALA 2K25 is a prestigious national-level technical symposium hosted by the Civil Engineering Department of Chennai Institute of Technology. The event brought together talented engineering students from institutions across the country, providing a robust platform for them to exhibit their knowledge, creativity, and innovation in various facets of civil engineering.
With its focus on real-world engineering challenges and hands-on technical activities, KARIGAALA 2K25 encouraged young minds to engage in problem-solving, teamwork, and practical execution—skills essential for future civil engineers.
Spotlight on Achievement: Cube Casting Champions
One of the main highlights of the symposium was the Cube Casting Competition, which tested participants’ expertise in concrete mix design, proportioning, casting, and surface finishing—key fundamentals in civil construction.
We are proud to announce that M. Vasanth, K. Vijay Keerthan, and R. Dinesh Bala, second-year Civil Engineering students from Sri Manakula Vinayagar Engineering College (SMVEC), emerged victorious by securing the First Place in this highly competitive event.
Their meticulous approach to mixing, casting precision, and collaborative efforts stood out among many teams, earning them top honors.
Understanding Cube Casting
Cube casting is a critical process in civil engineering, used to determine the compressive strength of concrete—a key factor in structural durability. Competitors must showcase their ability to manage time, maintain mix ratios, and ensure the quality of casting under pressure. The SMVEC team demonstrated exemplary knowledge and practical skill throughout the event.
A Proud Moment for SMVEC
This win not only highlights the practical expertise of our students but also reflects the dedication and guidance provided by the faculty of the Civil Engineering Department. Achievements like these reaffirm SMVEC’s commitment to nurturing capable, industry-ready engineers who can confidently tackle real-world challenges.
Congratulations!
Kudos to M. Vasanth, K. Vijay Keerthan, and R. Dinesh Bala for their remarkable performance at KARIGAALA 2K25. Their victory brings honor to SMVEC and sets a high benchmark for future participants.
