Submersion in a solitary subject, permits a more profound comprehension, and a more prominent worth spot on the capacity to unhesitatingly manage it later on and learning by hearing experts is more valuable than class lectures. The club also hosts competitions in association with other clubs of TKM such as quizzes and debates. In essence, the club is nothing lesser than a legacy which brought home laurels that were the fruits of undeterred determination and passion through many sleepless nights, immense hardwork and most of all, teamwork!
