The events in the day were followed up by equally entertaining evenings, with the Rock Night on February 11, DJ Night on February 12 and a hasya kavi sammelan on the last day, which witnessed one of the most popular poets Dr Kumar Vishvas of the '

Ek Koi Deewana Kehta Hai...' fame, reciting poems which had both students and faculty members in splits.
However, the star of the evening was surely Dr Surendra Sharma, who with his years of experience and his antique style of poetry stole the show by taking a dig at society in a satirical way.
