The Summer Book Review Competition, which is in its 2nd edition, has the objective of increasing the reading habit amongst the students of the university. The Competition has two phases. In the first phase, the participant chooses a book out of the 100 titles identified by the library and submits a review. Out of these, 10 reviews are shortlisted by the panel of judges who invite them for a Final round which includes a presentation and clarifications sought by the judges. The reviewing work is done during the Summer Vacation every year.
