In the evening of the first day of our Annual Faculty Meet, the host college conducted an educational relay race, a race designed to foster healthy competition, integrate academic knowledge with physical activity, and encourage interdisciplinary learning. It was a race that involved both intellectual problem-solving and physical activity, fostering teamwork and creating a competitive yet enjoyable environment. From 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM, participants engaged in physical exercises blended with academic challenges, making learning both engaging and interactive, while others cheered for their teams.
This education relay race was designed to assess participants’ knowledge across multiple disciplines including language, mathematics, general knowledge, and University’s mission, vision, and core values. Each participating college was represented by a team of five members. The race commenced from the chemistry laboratory and concluded in-front of the conventional hall, covering a total of five stations.
