Fifteen Patents. Thirty-Seven Events. One Student Chapter.

What One Academic Year Actually Looked Like

Between August 2023 and May 2024, the Anurag University IEEE chapter ran 37 events, brought in 3,930 participants, filed 15 patents, shortlisted 69 of 179 student projects, added 105 new memberships, and operated across 7 student branch chapters all in twelve months.

This isn't a club. This is a functioning innovation engine run almost entirely by students.

What Happens Inside These Rooms

The 48-hour Smart Hacks hackathon organised by the IEEE CIS chapter alongside the Department of Artificial Intelligence brought teams from across India to build solutions for real-world problems in IoT, blockchain, and full-stack machine learning. These weren't toy problems. They were attached to actual societal challenges, judged on whether the solution would genuinely work.

For the students in those rooms at 3am, debugging something that kept breaking, this was simpler and more important than a competition: it was the first time their skills had real stakes.

The Part That Follows Students Into the World

Anurag students have gone on to compete at hackathons hosted by JP Morgan Chase, PwC, AT&T, Cisco, and HSBC returning with internships and offers reaching 19.75 LPA. The IEEE chapter is where much of that preparation quietly happens.

Fifteen patents filed in one year by student teams. That number matters not just for a university's record, but for what it says to every first-year student wondering whether their ideas are worth anything.
