Preparatory Studies Centre - Extempore competition

Extempore speaking is about good communication skills, clarity of thought, and the ability to express one’s own viewpoint in a stipulated time. It puts to test one’s ability to think on the spot and also their spontaneity. To imbibe a true spirit of learning in students and to enhance their communication skills an extempore competition was held for the students of Level 3 & 4 on Tuesday 21st November, 2023 by the Event Management Committee of the Preparatory Study Center. The objective of the competition was to make the students confident and better orators so that they could fearlessly express their views on any topic. All participants were given topics in advance to prepare.
