Based on what I heard from my friends at IET Lucknow, there is no official Fresher’s Party. It is not a well-planned official event in the institute. Therefore, the institute does not fund the event. The Fresher’s Party is an unofficial event depending upon the personal choice of the seniors. They contribute funds and arrange the party.
Usually, every branch has its own party. A few departments like CSE, ME, ECE, CE, CHE, and EI, had individual parties in previous years. However, there was no party for the other branches.
So, there is no specific date for the Freshers Party, but they will inform you if it is planned. It is also not compulsory to attend.
