Also, the Pre-Petrocup events helped in creating a buzz about Petrocup and in putting the campus into a sportive mood ahead of the spectacle that waited.

The events that were held were Dog and the bone, Tug of War, Footloose, Dodge ball and Futsal. The participants reminisced playing these games in their childhood. With everyone in the campus allowed to participate, the events saw healthy attendance and high spirits between the competitors.

Every year as the fest turns towards its end, the sports committee organizes a closing ceremony and honours all those individuals as well as teams who have shown exceptional sportsmanship in their game.
