Very informative and learned about many new techniques and its application point of view perspective.
SURGE Program is an excellent research program for getting research experience in the field you are interested in.
Surge Online mode was overall a great initiative to discover research potential of students. Online mode restricts students from IIT K experience and labs for practical. Surge helps us interact with IIT K professors which are among India’s best.
