Updates from Day 1

Zealicon 2011, the 4th Annual Techno-Cultural Festival of J.S.S. Academy of Technical Education, Noida opened its door on the 10^th March 2011 for a gathering of exuberant students and welcomed one and all to a brilliant setup of technical and cultural events amalgamated with an array of fun activities.

It was a sight to look at, when the registration windows open and a mass of students hurled towards it to register themselves and be a part of this mega event. Students from the J.S.S. academy and various external colleges participated in huge numbers which gave this festival a diverse yet cordial outlook.

The day started off with technical events viz. Bizz-O-War, SQL Samurai, Make Your Crap.com, Alacrity, Robo Bryant, and Catapult amongst many others that brought out the best in the engineering students and tested their brains to the maximum. With a large variety of events to choose from, the participants didn’t have a minute to spare. The day was silver lined with the elation of the winners and the sporting attitude of those who didn’t succeed all stirred together with the zeal and enthusiasm that one only gets to see at an event like this.

If the technical side of Zealicon raised the bar and expectations of many, its cultural counterpart was not far behind in any respect. It comprised of an assortment of solo, duet and group dance performances that fired up the fun and talent quotient of the event. It was the best end to a great first day. With 3 days still left to go, one can only expect it to be an even huger success hereafter and with a day as successful as this, it does seem to be promising to do so.
