We are thrilled to share the outstanding achievement of Dikshitha, a bright and ambitious student from 3rd Year ICB, who has been selected for the highly prestigious IEEE Scholarship worth ₹4 lakhs.

The IEEE Scholarship is awarded to exceptional students who demonstrate academic excellence, leadership qualities, and a strong commitment to advancing technology for the benefit of humanity. After a rigorous selection process involving academic performance reviews, recommendations, and personal statements, Dikshitha stood out as a deserving candidate for this honor.

We attended the CyberShield Conference 2025 as a team from HacFy to explore the latest developments in the cybersecurity domain. The event provided valuable insights into the growing cybersecurity ecosystem, especially the rising opportunities and advancements in Tier-2 regions.

During the conference, we engaged in technical sessions, interacted with experts, and learned about current trends in cyber defense, job roles, and skillsets in demand. It was a great platform to understand how cybersecurity is evolving and how we can align our efforts to contribute effectively.

We successfully conducted an awareness session on Mobile Safety and Cybersecurity for MBA students & MBA Faculties, led by Team HacFy in collaboration with the Cyber Security Club and supported by students from the Department of ICB.

The initiative emphasized how crucial cyber hygiene is for future business leaders, ensuring they’re not just digitally literate, but also cyber-responsible.

This session was part of our ongoing effort to extend cybersecurity literacy beyond technical departments and empower every individual with the tools and mindset to stay secure in a connected world.

Pavan Kumar C K, a 3rd-year student from the Department of ICB, had the privilege to serve as Guest Faculty during the 4-day cybersecurity workshop at NIE Mysuru. The workshop provided students with deep, hands-on exposure to real-world cybersecurity practices. From understanding phishing to working with tools like Nmap, Wireshark, Burp Suite, and Nikto, participants gained practical skills. Each session combined technical learning with interactive activities, making complex topics accessible. The event successfully sparked curiosity and empowered students to pursue cybersecurity with confidence.

Tanvi Shetty, a third-year student from the Department of ICB, achieved the position of runner-up as a part of the university-level Kabaddi team competition. Her dedication and teamwork were instrumental in helping the team secure a strong finish in the tournament, showcasing both athletic skill and sportsmanship.
