Points of Contact (POCs) were assigned to participants from their respective regions to ensure a smooth and consistent event flow. Nine POCs were tasked with creating WhatsApp groups consisting of four participants each, with the Head and Deputy Head as admins.

The event commenced at 8:00 PM, with students gathering outside the convention hall for attendance, managed by Discipline & Anti – Ragging Committee. While attendance was being taken, POCs arranged chairs according to the groups, and Melange - The Organizing Committee provided technical support. Pratibimb – The Photography club was present for event photography.
