Staff Reporter

Kakinada: Participants in the CORPEVE-08, a technical fiesta organised by Kakinada Institute of Engineering and Technology (KIET) as a prelude to its annual event CONCOURS 2009, were exhorted by KSVG Murali Krishna of the Institute of Electronic Governance, to dedicate themselves to achieving goals. He suggested to the students to be attentive in the classes to grasp things at the first instance itself instead of relying on friends and peers. “Chances always prefer the prepared mind,” he asserted.

KIET Director John Uday Kumar called upon the students to mould themselves into leaders with responsibilities while focusing on the respective subjects of specialization. KIET Principal AVSN Murthy said the students should be energetic in pursuing their goals.
