Well, this year prepare to see academics become fun from the 4th to 9thAugust when The Academic and Research Council of Grant Medical College present to you AUXESIS 2018, the Annual Academic Fest that aims to expand the scope of learning outside the lecture halls.

Lele, Dr. Suchitra Dalvie, Dr. Col.
