Qualifying students are being given certificates of appreciation, said Dr Singh.
The science week has co-ordinators in Dr Pankaj Kumar, Dr H M Dubey of electric engineering, Nishikant Kisku of civil engineering Prof B K Besra of computer science.
Sources said holding the science week in this engineering college has made this college a household name courtesy of the students who have become ambassadors for the college.
