Our 3rd Annual Lecture Competition 2025 was held at Maharani Cluster University, Bengaluru, on September 1, 2025.
Our Lecture Competition is an intercollegiate competition for college students. Students presented a 15 minute lecture on life-science related subjects, including cell biology, immunology, biochemistry, biotechnology, and neuroscience.
This competition increases students' confidence on the science topics the students are studying and researching. It also works to increase students' ability to communicate their scientific ideas effectively to a novice audience.
Judge
We awarded 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th place prizes to the most outstanding presentations.
