The Major Minor Mela, held on 9 and 10 August 2025 was a great success. Hosted by the Ministry of Learning of the SIAS Student Government in collaboration with some of the academic clubs and societies under SIAS, the event aimed to give first-year students a comprehensive and interactive introduction to the diverse academic disciplines available at SIAS.
Day one featured Open Houses, where senior students delivered presentations detailing the discipline-wise requirements, ensuring first-years had a clear understanding of their academic options. Day two presented an interactive fair where students could visit different booths, chat with seniors, and get a more personal feel for the disciplines they were interested in.
The event was well-attended, with many first-year students eager to learn and participate. Feedback from attendees highlighted the interactive and informative nature of the Mela, and these insights will be invaluable in making future iterations even more impactful. Overall, the Major Minor Mela brought the university community together, sparking curiosity and excitement about academic exploration within and beyond the boundaries of Krea.
