Thanks to #-Link-Snipped-# who sent us the image. 😀 -
Kaustubh KatdareUpdate: Mechanical engineering category is dominating all the entries! >70% of the entries so far are in Mechanical engineering category. It's quite surprising for us! 😀 I hope the entries in other categories will catch up in coming days. We will have some time for the last entries. But a big 👍 to mechanical folks!
