Official Annual Profile · 2025–2026

LEARN. BUILD. SHARE.

Empowering Students Through Technology, Mentorship and Community.

GeeksforGeeks (GFG) Campus Body @ SOA is the official student chapter under the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Faculty of Engineering and Technology (ITER), Siksha 'O' Anusandhan (Deemed to be University), Bhubaneswar.

Our Rationale

Bridging the gap between classroom and industry.

Established to build a bridge between formal academic curriculum and the wider, fast-evolving technology landscape through interactive, conversation-driven, and hands-on formats.

Our Mission

Learn in public. Build in the open. Ship together.

Run high-signal workshops, host thoughtful dialogues, and back student technical projects. Bridge students to research domains, alumni, and industry.

Student-Faculty Dialogue

Conversation-driven learning.

Through initiatives like Chai-Links ('Chai Pe Charcha'), we replace conventional lectures with informal discussion circles connecting students directly with faculty across emerging domains.

Peer Mentorship

Learn It. Build It. Share It.

Our multi-track Skills Exchange series empowers senior core members to mentor juniors in high-demand CS specializations through live coding, terminal walkthroughs, and sandboxes.

Competitive & Practical

In-House Innovation.

From custom platforms like our in-house Zer0ne CTF platform to high-pressure design and pitch events like Rachitva, we empower students to perform and lead under real constraints.
