The open day event was held inside the college's sports complex. The day was definitely a big success considering the large turnout of visitors who included prospective students, parents, friends and family members.
The staff and students were very friendly and helpful. The various booths provided information and advice about the college academic programs, application and admission, student accommodation, TARC merit scholarship, other financial assistance, transportation and general enquiries.
The College’s Open Day also give prospective students a great chance to tour facilities at the campus and gain an insight into student life.
There was also a Project Design Exhibition 2009 (ProDEx 2009) held back to back with the Open Day. Organised by the College’s School of Technology, the final year students showcased their high-tech projects which garnered enthusiastic approval from the visitors for their bright, innovative concepts and ideas.
The visitors were impressed with what they saw and heard on the wide array of academic programs, affordable fees and good facilities available.
