The SOC team is responsible for carrying out myriad of sports activities and sports fests such as Schroeter, GF and KR tournament and other inter-collegiate tournaments in a seamless manner and strives to work towards popularising sports in insti and to provide necessary facilities for the same. Sports Organising Committee falls under the purview of the Sports Secretary, who is also the head of SOC.
The SOC has received much deserved appreciation due to the hard work they have put in-especially in the last year- to not just spread the word about various sports in insti, but also to motivate the sportsmen through activities like coming up with videos of the players performing their craft and identifying sportsmen by acknowledging their skills and abilities on social media.
