CYBORG, a club for robotics and automation control has been a constant guide for these students as it takes regular classes for 1st year and 2nd year students and then the members are
assigned with various projects as well as prepared thoroughly for such grand techfests. The days are gone when various teams from other colleges were winning robotics events in CONFLUENCE (our techfest) as now Nitrians have started winning international events due to constant effort of CYBORG.
