College Of Engineering, Pune(COEP) is poised to host one of the largest technical festivals in the country, MindSpark 2017. A student’s initiative, it is a platform to bring together some of the sharpest engineering minds in the country.
Since its inception in 2007, MindSpark, COEP’s annual national technical festival has grown to become one of the most coveted events in the country, receiving a footfall of over 20,000 during its last edition. The fest is now under the patronage of Indian National Commission for cooperation with UNESCO, Digital India, Make in India and Startup India.
