Mechanical Engineering students Win 1 st and 2 nd place in “Incredia 2022” held at NMAM Institute of Technology Mohammed Zain, Nestor Noronha and Abhinav Thodthillaya, students from 6 th Semester and Salvin Pinto, G Vijeth, Vineeth Pais from 8 th Semester Mechanical Engineering have participated in “Engine Overhaul" an event held at Incredia 2022 a National Level Techno- Cultural Fest of NMAM Institute of Technology, Nitte and won 1st and 2nd Places respectively for which they received Certificates and a Cash Prize. The event consisted of three rounds. Round 1: Involves a written test that will test your knowledge of automobiles.  Round 2: Identifying the parts of the engine and explaining their function.  Final Round: Involves fixing an already overhauled engine. Teams will have to assemble the engine with the smallest number of errors in the least amount of time.
