KATRA: A team of second-year B.Tech Computer Science Engineering students from Shri Mata Vaishno Devi University (SMVDU) achieved first place at the prestigious CXORoundtable competition during Udyamitsav 2026, hosted by IIT Jammu. Competing against teams from leading institutions, the group—PyTensorByte—delivered a structured, practical, and scalable solution to a real-world EdTech challenge centered on building an effective Online-to-Offline (O2O) learning ecosystem.
The team members—Maneesh Kumar (CEO), Shubham Saini (CTO),Naresh Kumar (COO), Mukti Porwal (CMO), and Akshit Raj (CFO)—adoptedexecutive roles to simulate corporate decision-making, ensuring teaching quality, operational scalability, seamless digital-classroom integration, and cost efficiency. Their preparation was strengthened by the mentorship of senior B.Tech CSEstudents Sachin Tripathi, Yash Srivastava, and Kartiky Saxena, last year’s CXO winners from CSE, SMVDU, whose guidance helped refine their strategy and presentation.
The achievement strongly reflects the visionary and progressive leadership of the Hon’ble Vice Chancellor, whose consistent encouragement, emphasis on experiential learning, and support for participation in national-level competitions have fostered a culture of confidence, innovation, and excellence across the university. Under this positive and forward-looking approach, the Schoolof Computer Science and Engineering continues to empower students to translate academic knowledge into impactful real-world solutions, making this victory a proud milestone for SMVDU.
