Game face on at the Men's Chess Tournament
Two boards.One spirit.
IAS students shine at the Srinivas University Intercollegiate Men's Chess and Carrom Tournaments 2026–27.
On 05 October 2026, Srinivas University's City Campus at Pandeshwar became a battleground of the mind, and the Institute of Aviation Studies arrived in its bright yellow polos, ready to think, aim and compete.
The Intercollegiate Men's Chess and Carrom Tournaments 2026–27 gave students a stage to show strategic thinking, concentration, coordination, teamwork and sporting spirit.
Sixty-four squares, one bronze
In the Men's Chess Tournament, Joyal Binu of Second Year BBA Aviation Management secured Third Place, bringing pride to the Institute.
Chess rewards the player who stays calm while the board changes with every move, and a podium finish at an intercollegiate event shows exactly that composure.
Third place, Men's Chess
Every move is a decision: concentration at the chessboard
