Acuity

The Community for technological innovations provides a platform to aspiring engineers of AOT to show their innovations spanning several spheres of software, hardware and robotics through competitive events, modeling, publications and technical quiz.
Every year TECH-FIESTA – the state level Tech Fest of AOT is organized by ACUITY.

A Few Achievements of our Students:

AOT’s students are known for their keen interest in different kinds of coding and technical innovation contests as well as the Techfests organized across India. The college frequently features amongst the list of top ten colleges participating in events like TCS Codevita and EngineX.

In 2017, after the initial selections, two teams from AOT have secured positions among the top 25 teams of the country in EngineX – Ashwini Kumar Singh, Atrik Maitra, Biswa Pratim Mukherjee, Danish Kamal (3rd yr ME) for their project on Smart Precision Farming and Sarbajit Paul, Sarthak Bakshi, Saurabh Kanishka, Samudra Roy (3rd yr CSE) for their project on Intelligent Transport System.

In 2016, an overwhelming number of 1700 students participated in Codevita. AOT has also had the maximum number of participants in Techfests organized by IIT Kharagpur, NIT Duragpur, IIEST, IEM, etc.

Besides these, over the past 3 years, a student from AOT has been among the handful of top students from across the country to be selected as Google Student Ambassador (GSA): Jit Sarkar (4th yr CSE) this year, Nakshatra Mukhopadhyay (IT 2016 Batch) last year & Mohonish Chakraborty (CSE 2015 Batch) before that.
