Why we exist
> recurse.mission
THE CURRICULUM IS
ONLY THE START.
At Keshav Memorial Institute of Technology (KMIT), Recurse gives students the room, resources, and people to pursue computer science and electronics outside the limits of a classroom.
It is a place to get technically dangerous—in the best way. Learn from peers. Ship ambitious ideas. Compete at a higher level. Find the people who care about the same obscure problem you do.
