Cluster Forum

The Cluster is a student forum within the Department of Computer Science at our institution. This forum aims to promote the overall development of students by organizing various activities that focus on creative thinking and skill enhancement to prepare them for professional challenges in the real world. It also provides opportunities for students to explore real business scenarios. In addition to strengthening their academic backgrounds, the forum seeks to stimulate innovative and inquisitive thinking among students.
The Cluster forum was established during the academic year 2012-13 and is composed of a Chairperson, Coordinator, Members, Student President, Student Vice-President, Student Secretary, and all BCA/B.Sc. students as members.
The Cluster forum conducts a range of student development programs, including invited special talks, workshops, industry visits, presentations, and innovative inter-class competitions. These initiatives are designed to help students enhance their creative abilities, build the skills necessary for prospective careers, improve their ability to apply concepts, and encourage participation in various co-curricular activities and fests organised by other colleges in and around Shivamogga.
