Reading books might help you gain knowledge and succeed in life, but sports make us understand the importance of principles to be followed in life. Sports teaches us endurance, perseverance, dedication and also makes us understand that we are going to have ups and downs, but we need to keep running right through them. In 2004, Maharashtra Institute of Technology, Pune organized an annual sports meet SUMMIT for all Engineering colleges across Pune. The event received a great response with a footfall of over 1700 students competing in a total of nine events. Since then, Summit has been progressing and thriving and has become one of the biggest National-Level Engineering Sports meet.
In these few years, Summit not only helped students to achieve a life balance between studies and sports but also gave rise to some National and International players like Ajay Gandhi and Nitin Gandhi (Badminton), Anand Deshpande and Sushil Nandkarni (Cricket), Abhishek Bobade (Basketball), Ravneet Singh and Vivek Rai (Squash), Kapilesh Bhate (Equestrian Show Jumping), Sumedh Gangal (Golf), Pranav Khule(Powerlifting), and many more.
