The IIY^® Discussion Forum is an engaging community full of motivated students. You can join any discussion group as per your interests and engage in stimulating discussions with your peers in these interactive groups.

These groups are automatically created based on college batches, the field of study, the field of interests chosen by the student, positions in college societies, etc. Within a group, all members are free to discuss any topic in the form of threads and comments.
