The Applied Science Department organized varied vibrant events meant to nurture creativity, talent etc. in students under the prestigious grant SPICES received from AICTE for 2022-23 by Dr. Neha Divekar as PI and Dr. Meena Laad as Co-PI for the project.

All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) SPICES Scheme provides financial support to institutions for developing students club for well-rounded development of students by promoting their interests, creativity and ethics. This club should serve as a model for other clubs in the institution and also those in other institutions.

The objective of this scheme is to energize and position students club/ Chapters/ Societies as facilitating entity for pursuit of individual interests, creative work, showcasing talent, networking and teamwork opportunities, social experience; organization and management skills, exposure to professional ethics etc.

Every technical institution encourages student activities by way of student clubs which help in their overall grooming. The idea behind this scheme is to have at least one club evolved as model club with assistance from AICTE and institution. The chosen club must utilize the combined grant to take up activities and also raise funds for them.
