Overall Goal

The overall goal of NITC WIKI is to create and maintain a hub of knowledge that is specific to NITC students and document the information that we know as a community. We require the community’s help in pooling together the collective knowledge and memories we have to transform Wiki into a complete ‘Hub of Information ‘

During the Wiki Marathon (June 1 to July 1, 2024) Contribute your knowledge by creating new pages and adding content or editing the existing ones. It does not have to look pretty (it would help if it did but either way), it does not need to be formal. End of the day what matters is ensuring that the platform can be sustained as a place to enable the sharing of knowledge.
