Students Club/Societies
Keeping in view the all-round development of students, various clubs like music and dance club, photography club, fine arts society, innovation and creativity cell, green cell etc. have been started. The students of SIT actively organize and participate in various activities of these clubs and societies. Mechanical Engineering Students Association (MESA) is very active in promoting technical and literary skills of the students. The club V@rSITy-care of SIT is committed to spreading social awareness and community service amongst the students. The literary society at SIT was developed in order to make students more familiar and buff up their skills in literature, oratory, debates and writing.
Students, with due guidance from faculties, manage various Students’ Departmental Societies like Civil Engineering Society of Symbiosis (CESS), Mechanical Engineering Students Association(MESA), Google Club (Computer Science and Information Technology- Departmental Technical Society) and IEEE Student Chapter (Electronics and Telecommunication Department). A multitude of activities/events are organized under these Students’ Departmental Societies.
1) MESA:-
Student Experience:“From getting over the stage fear of standing in front of a huge audience to taking meetings including interactive sessions with my fellow mates and juniors, i have learned and experienced a lot and am still going through the whole process of figuring out how to understand and tackle every obstacle falling ahead of me. Being a techfest head of one of the best departments in the college (that is MESA of course) has opened up the gates to many opportunities where i think i can set my mark on as I believe the journey of being associated with MESA right from the start has provided me an extra edge over others. I would strongly recommend students who would be joining SIT and also my juniors to become a part of MESA as it helps you in developing as an all rounder."

Student Experience:-
Being a part of the ecell of the college was not just an opportunity but a path finder.The activities we conducted,the networking sessions we had,the ideas we churned out through innumerous brainstorming session has not only led to recognition of the ecell and the college at a national level but self improvement and realization.EPIC made me do a SWOT analysis of myself to sum it up.
The journey ever since I joined the club was extremely excruciating at the start but rewarding in the end.In the journey as it should be,all the three my- college,my ecell and me have been distinguished separately and collectively,various times. I say “Multiple opportunities lie in front of you, but to be an opportunist or not is a choice you make! "
