College Rivals Gaming Festival by Exalt NU

On September 20, 2025, the College Rivals Gaming Truck visited the NIIT University campus, offering students a day-long gaming festival. Organized in collaboration with Exalt, the Gaming Club of NU, the event began at 10:00 AM along the Spine to Nescafé Pathway, where professional gaming setups were arranged. PlayStation 5 consoles and high-performance gaming PCs were provided, eliminating the need for students to carry personal devices.

The festival featured four categories of competition: BGMI (Solo), BGMI (Squad), Valorant 1v1, and FC 25. Participants engaged in these tournaments individually and in teams, while fellow students gathered to watch and support. The accessible setup ensured that both casual and competitive players could participate with ease.

In addition to gameplay, the event maintained an engaging environment with music and side activities, creating a balance between competition and recreation. The presence of Exalt added coordination and structure to the event, enabling smooth conduct of matches and fair recognition of participants.

The festival concluded with acknowledgment of winners across the four categories, offering students not only a platform to compete but also to experience the culture of organized gaming on campus. Exalt further announced its plans to host more such events in the future, aiming to strengthen the gaming community and nurture talent at NU.
