AI Summary

Hello GDG Raipur Community,

I am an MCA 3rd-semester student from Chhattisgarh Bhilai Institute Of Technology and have recently applied to start a GDG on Campus chapter at my college. Unfortunately, I received a response indicating that the current cohort has been fully onboarded, and no new applications can be accommodated at this time. While I completely understand and respect the process, this semester represents my last opportunity to participate as a GDG on Campus Lead.

Our college lacks a GDG chapter, and I was looking forward to fostering a developer community through events, workshops, and peer-based learning initiatives. I am reaching out to seek guidance from those who have been through similar situations. Are there any alternative pathways, such as waitlists or exception channels, that I might pursue?

Additionally, I would appreciate any advice from the community regarding possible contacts or suggestions to help navigate this situation. Your insights and direction are invaluable to me.

Thank you for your time and support. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts and experiences!
