The B18s tried to conduct Tathva 20 online. They had done everything possible by themselves with the constraints and had conducted workshops and lectures online focusing on the motto Tathva for a Social Cause. Ragam also followed a similar model in 2021 by B17s and at around this time some of the Seniors had returned to the deserted campus. I along with some of my friends did a road trip to Calicut after the 4th semester to recover what was left of the luggage that was left in our rooms. After multiple days of sitting and growing roots inside our homes coming to campus even if it was just for a day and meeting all the batchmates was a fresh air to all of us. | The B18s tried to conduct Tathva 20 online.

Within 2 months of vacation, we were "3rd Year Students" but also at the state of being first year. The long-awaited B20s have joined and we started creating WhatsApp groups to meet and get to know them. The online interaction which maintains records helped decrease the cases of ragging as juniors can easily report any kind of rude behavior to the authorities. This had shifted the junior-senior interaction and its dynamic for better or for worse. I got chance to come back and live in campus because of team unwired. we were preparing for the SAE formula Supra Race that was supposed to be held during July 2022. And it was at the same time the 60th Jubilee celebrations got announced. The home teams were requested to come back to campus and perform for the event that was scheduled to be held on 31st December. And with that I got to train the Mime juniors along with other Mime seniors. | Within 2 months of vacation, we were "3rd Year Students" but also at the state of being first year.

I got chance to come back and live in campus because of team unwired. we were preparing for the SAE formula Supra Race that was supposed to be held during July 2022. And it was at the same time the 60th Jubilee celebrations got announced. The home teams were requested to come back to campus and perform for the event that was scheduled to be held on 31st December. And with that I got to train the Mime juniors along with other Mime seniors. All the Home teams made their comeback and performed for the Jubilee.After the Jubilee event the celebrations took a new twist as [[NAVARAGAM]] started at the basket ball court. Seeing the "FUN TIMES" the student's in campus were having from watching social media posts many of the students decided to enter the campus to have a chance to have the fun they were dued to. This however was faced by a huge hurdle of quarantine. to put things in perspective the existing criteria for students to enter the bio bubble was to stay in quarantine at the old mega hostel for 7-14 days and then get tested and only then they could enter the main campus. along with this no one was allowed to go outside campus (at least on paper). A large inflow of students was expected for the much awaited Navaragam to bid farewell to 2021 and embrace 2022.As expected the crowd had a blast and together we welcomed the beginning of 2022. The teaser video for Ragam 2022 was also streamed to the students and hope of Ragam reigniting once again post COVID put warmth in all our hearts. This was however run into more issues as large number of covid positive cases started to be reported from inside the campus. TheB18's were already being called back to return back to campus and continue rest of their semester in offline mode. As the number of infections went above the administration decided to send all the kids back home and also cancelled the rejoining of B18's too. Most of us thought this was their final bid to campus and like the B17s and B16s before them they'd also have to spend their last days in campus from their home itself. much of the planned programmes including the [[Anuragam]] 2022 were in crisis. Yet under the leadership of the Cultural Affairs Secretery, It was decided to conduct anuragam in an online mode. With exciting events including an online blind date the anuragam 2022 put up a good fight to spread love at the trying times of covid. Soon after the MHRD issued an order demanding all the institutes under them to begin the offline classes immediately and with that the B18's who were called, send back just few weeks prior were called back again. And this time it was in a full swing. Everyone started coming back to the campus and the campus started breathing again and was full of students all over. The third year then came to a peaceful end with [[Ragam|Ragam ]] 2022. | ||
