Such escapist tendencies aside, annual Institute Elections are a crucial process that play a pivotal role in shaping the path of student activities for the upcoming academic year across spheres.

[audio static]. Hi. Viktor Vyaas here. So this set [audio static]. Hi. Viktor Vyaas here. So this set of interviews was set to be put up last year but due to unnamed circumstances, I repeat ‘unnamed circumstances’, the post was delayed indefinitely and was put on hold even after I got clearance for the last interview. But I will keep mum no more! Find link in the bio. Insti needs to see this, the world needs to see this. You will now be listening to these conversations unedited and uncensored. This release might ruffle some feathers but I won’t be silenced. Spread the word [muffled noises and audio cuts].
