As part of its Silver Jubilee celebrations marking twenty-five years of excellence, New Horizon College of Engineering organised the grand finale of Hidden Gems on Saturday, May 9, 2026. The event was conducted to showcase the diverse talents and creativity of the staff members in a vibrant and engaging atmosphere. 

One of the major highlights of the evening was the staff fashion walk, where participants appeared in colourful and creative costumes. The contestants impressed the audience with their confidence, choreographed walks, and innovative AI-designed backdrops. Adding excitement to the celebrations was the Mr. and Ms. New Horizon beauty pageant, which evaluated participants on their style, stage presence, communication skills, and spontaneity through impromptu question-and-answer rounds. 

The event witnessed enthusiastic participation from nearly 40 staff members and received tremendous support from the audience. A special fashion walk featuring the Heads of Departments, Executive Directors, and the Principal further energised the crowd and drew loud cheers from colleagues and attendees alike. 

The Apsara Team emerged victorious in the Fashion Walk competition. Mr. Sanjay was crowned Mr. New Horizon, while Ms. Arathi Chhabria was declared Ms. New Horizon. The celebrations concluded with a prize distribution ceremony, where staff members came together to celebrate talent, teamwork, and camaraderie. With this memorable finale, Hidden Gems 2026 came to a successful close.
