Our aim with Unicode is to help current students be better than we were. We want everyone to have enough resources and mentors, in order for them to grow and get amazing internships and jobs in the industry. I strongly believe we would be producing enough students, armed with a variety of relevant skills, capable of competing with students from the country's top engineering colleges.

Unicode means a huge deal to me. It has been the first concrete step in implementing an amalgam of ideas to address shortfalls in the engineering system arising from massive scale and the shortage of work opportunities. We've met some amazing kids who have grown into wonderful mentors and I hope to see the trend continue!

Our eventual goal was to create a mentorship program where students were exposed to the world of CS by working on meaningful projects while being guided by their very own seniors. This mentorship program would serve as the one stop shop for all CS related guidance on topics ranging from academia to the industry.

Unicode for me was a means to bridge the communication gap that was developing between the successive batches. It's essential that students possess good networking skills and this was a platform for them to begin with. The long term goal was to get them ready to work in the industry by providing them with structured mentorship and technical experience through projects.

Unicode was started for the purpose of student development. As Unicode is an amalgamation of BEs, TEs and SEs, it aids in senior-junior interaction. Additionally Unicode students develop team management skills. From the organization point of view, we ask the students to develop useful projects like Attendance app, Student Information Portal etc.
