I am proud that our team secured AIR 1. TIFAN taught me to apply theoretical knowledge to real-world engineering. As captain, I learned team management and decision-making while working on our automated multi-vegetable transplanter. The opportunity to interact with industry professionals and receive mentorship was invaluable.
Through TIFAN 2026, I worked on real-time project design, manufacturing, testing, and innovation. It improved my skills in CAD software, teamwork, and project management. Achieving All India Rank 1 makes my profile stronger and demonstrates my ability to perform under pressure and collaborate effectively.
TIFAN 2026 was a defining milestone in my engineering journey. It gave me a hands-on platform to apply core mechanical conceptsβlike machine design, material selection, and structural analysisβto real-world fabrication. Working with industry mentors and teammates greatly improved my project planning and communication.
During my interview process at Siemens Limited, TIFAN emerged as a significant highlight. It was discussed in both the technical and HR rounds. My participation enabled me to understand the complete lifecycle of a projectβfrom conceptualization to executionβboosted my confidence, and prepared me for professional environments.
During my placement interview with Atlas Copco, a substantial part of the discussion revolved around my TIFAN projectβparticularly the design, development, and functional aspects of the machine. The hands-on experience allowed me to confidently articulate my approach, justify design decisions, and demonstrate structured engineering thought.
