Mumbai, India – January 22, 2011–GIGABYTE Technology India Pvt. Ltd, a leading manufacturer of motherboards, has commenced a motherboard technology knowledge-sharing seminar series, named ‘The No. 1 Choice – GIGABYTE’, for engineering students across the country. Over 2,000 students are expected to attend these seminars that will be held at 30 engineering colleges during the next three months.
 
In addition to the Tier 1 cities, the seminars will be held in cities / regions that include Ahmedabad, Jamnagar, Jaipur, Kota (Rajasthan), Sagar, Dehradun, Nainital, Faridabad, Pune, Panjim, Hubli, Erode, Kottayam, Kochi, Madurai, Tirupur, Bhubaneswar, Imphal, Cuttack, Ranchi, Vijayawada, Jammu, and Patiala. The series was recently flagged off at the annual technology festival of a reputed engineering college in Mumbai, in which the GIGABYTE event was attended by more than 70 students from multiple colleges.
 
The ‘The No. 1 Choice – GIGABYTE’seminars will primarily focus on PC assembling and the Do it Yourself (DiY) concept, using the most advanced and feature-rich motherboards. To make the seminars engaging, GIGABYTE has added an exciting array of programs, including contests on gaming, build-your-PC, and technology paper presentations; demo on high-end gaming systems; live overclocking sessions by India’s leading overclockers; hands-on innovative PC usage activities; and complementary quizzes. The prizes in the contests and quizzes include motherboards, mice, t-shirts, wallets, among other things.
 
From enlightening students on the fundamental differences between a PC and a laptop, the seminars go on to impart knowledge on latest motherboards, how to evaluate and choose these motherboards to suit their individual requirements, and how to use their PC systems optimally with these motherboards. 
 
Commenting on the seminars, Rajan Sharma, General Manager, Marketing and Sales, GIGABYTE India, said, “We at GIGABYTE are excited to provide a useful platform for 100s of students across the country, for sharing knowledge about the latest motherboard technology trends. The main objective is to let them thoroughly understand and enjoy the power of motherboards in their PCs, while sparking their enthusiasm for the technologies behind them. We hope our endeavor results in increasing the number of technology enthusiasts among the student community, and maybe also in promising careers and innovations in PC hardware technologies.”
 
‘The No. 1 Choice – GIGABYTE’ seminars have received a huge response from colleges across the country, from students as well as faculty. According to the Technology Head of a Mumbai-based college, “Though we are an engineering college, most of the students do not have the relevant training and skills to make the most of their PC motherboards. With these user-friendly sessions by GIGABYTE, they can look forward to hands-on experience for capitalizing on the latest and emerging motherboard technologies, which in turn, can help them in their career path in future. No wonder most of the student attendees are also doubling up as volunteers for these seminars.”
