Disappointing Show and Injuries Mar Sports Meet @Surat
It wasn’t even a month before the laurels that the institute won at NIT Trichy had sunk in, before the fiasco happened at NIT Surat. It was (it won’t be wrong to call it so) one of the most forgettable outings for the sports teams that went there.

Futsal: Mini football tournament
The 3rd edition of Futsal was greeted with marginal participation by students of NIT-R, with number of participating teams being just 20. The Football event was organised in Sachin Tendulkar Sports Complex alongside the Super 8 cricket event. The event was organised by the Hall Management Council and launched on Saturday evening of last weekend.
The event was played in four rounds and scoring rules of the game were similar to that of a regular one. But, unlike a regular football game, each side consisted of only 4 players and time allotted to the first and second half of the game was seven and a half minute each, making it a game of just 15 minutes! The boundary limit of the playing field was slightly greater than that of a tennis court, having bamboo goal posts, which were also smaller in size. Registration for the event was not charged and a player was not restricted to play for a single team.
