Four girls, all from the same college, have won the four gold medals at Dr APJ Abdul Kalam Technical University (AKTU).

The winners, students of Institute of Engineering and Technology (IET), will be conferred the medals during the convocation ceremony on December 16.

In all, 92 medals will be awarded at the event.

Aatmika Rai of BTech (chemical engineering) and Aditi Gupta of BTech (electronics and communication engineering) have won at the undergraduate level while Ajita Bhadouria of master’s in business administration and Bhawna of master’s in computer application have won at postgraduate level.

AKTU declared the names of all 92 medal winners from private and government colleges on Thursday.

The gold winners have one common wish: to see IET among the top 10 institutes of the country in the National Institutional Framework Ranking (NIRF). The institute will aim for NIRF ranking for the first time in the session 2021-22.

“It is believed that IET is the best engineering college in the state but it is one of the best in the country, be it in terms of faculty or placements. We had the best faculty, who taught us to develop practical knowledge of everything. Rote learning doesn’t work if one wants to score well,” said Aatmika, who wants to make a career in research.

Aditi said, “IET has good infrastructure and is upgrading itself with industry needs. I wish to see my college among top rankers.”

Ajita, who is a government teacher, said, “I was regular with classes and made my own notes. IET has the best faculty and it deserves to be top-ranked,” she said.
