On the 76th Independence Day, the Department of Computer Engineering's CESA Committee organized an event called "SHROUDED VALOR".

Later, a meeting was held for the winning teams to discuss the next round, "SAHAS", focusing on portraying India's unsung heroes, including costume discussions and rehearsal dates.
At 2 p.m., the CESA organizers and Prof. Shefali Raina held a meeting to give the winning teams instructions for the second round “SAHAS”. In this round, eligible teams were tasked with portraying India's unsung heroes. During this discussion, all of the teams agreed on one unsung hero to perform on and also discussed their costumes. The organizers also provided rehearsal dates so that participants could practice before the performance.

In the "Dhairya" round, each team received two questions in the first round, with 10 points for correct answers within 45 seconds. The second round was a buzzer round, with the first to buzz having 15 seconds to answer. Correct answers gained 10 points, while incorrect ones deducted 5. The third round mirrored the first.
