Math crossword puzzles are used to reinforce important math skills and to improve the thinking capacity of the students, hence as an association activity “Crossword Puzzle” competition was conducted on 24.8.2018 for UG and PG students. Students actively participated in the competition.

It was a group activity. It had three rounds. The students were divided into 15 groups. The first round was based on aptitude. Out of 15 groups, 10 groups were selected to the second round, which was subject quiz. From 10 groups, the top 5 groups went to the final round. The final round was identifying the mathematicians by seeing their pictures.

The Department activity for the month of October was Quiz Competition. It was conducted in three rounds. The first round was mono acting, based on mathematical terms. The second round was to find the connection between pictures and relate it to mathematics. The pictures were displayed in power point presentation to which the groups answered eagerly. The third round was spot talk. A member from each group gave a talk on the topic given to them. 13 groups consisting of 7 members took part in the programme. Students of I B.Sc., (Sec C), I M.Sc., II M.Sc., Mathematics participated in the programme.
