About the forum

Bridging academia and industry

The Institute to Industry (I2I) Forum is the IEEE CAS Bangalore Chapter’s flagship student-facing initiative — giving engineering students direct access to industry insight, mentorship and hands-on career guidance.

I2I 5.2 is hosted by the IEEE CAS Student Branch Chapter at P.E.S. College of Engineering, Mandya, in association with the IEEE Bangalore Section and the IEEE Mysore Sub Section.

It runs as a hybrid forum — a full day on campus on Saturday, 3 October 2026, followed by a week of online technical sessions from 5 to 9 October.
