The selection process for the team began with extensive online and offline publicity on the campus. After rigorously screening an odd lot of about 400 students, a 25 member army of young and diligent students was narrowed down to be part of TEDx MSIT. The society is efficiently managed into smaller groups to take care of five different departments and work in synchronous with each other. TEDx MSIT is rapidly becoming a name in itself and is primed to pounce upon any opportunity that comes its way.
