Comments:
Due to the impending ending of semester, very few students attended the event as most of them were busy in submitting assignments, projects, final labs, etc.
The event was originally planned to start at 1pm but due to the complete unavailability of students (for reasons described above), we opted to start the event late at around 2:30pm and it ended around 3:45pm.
