Absolutely! We’re always open to collaborating with students from other colleges — in fact, many of our events encourage cross-campus participation and idea exchange. However, some initiatives, like the Mentee Circles, are designed specifically for IGDTUW freshers, focusing on a senior-to-junior learning model that works best within our own student community.

That said, we truly value the spirit of collaboration and love involving students from outside IGDTUW whenever possible! 🌟 So definitely keep a tab on our upcoming events — there are plenty of exciting opportunities where you can join in, learn, and grow with us.
