There is no dearth of teachers when you want to learn something. But if we ask what makes learning fun, then it is our friends, classmates, classroom sessions, mistakes, teachers and the gradual process that puts students in the ‘known’ zone from the ‘unknown’ zone. This is the precise reason why a college fest is so special to a student. Be it as an organizer or as a participant. The students of IIT-K are inviting you for Techkriti’16 and here is what you will miss if you say a no.
Since the year 1959, it is 54 years that IIT-K has been creating leaders. IIT-K is an institute of national importance. It’s a playground for great minds and a force to be reckoned with.
IIT- K brings to you the most engaging event and a technical fest, Techkriti’16. The year 2016 will witness Techkriti scale up to explore the dark realms that were till date left unexplored. Their annual technical and entrepreneurship fest ventures to ingrain the hierarchical idea of innovation that has been prevalent in IIT-K since its early days.
Techkriti kicks off two months prior to the main event, going to various cities to conduct prelims in various engineering colleges. There are competitions catering to the likes of all – ECDC, Techkriti Grand Prix, Software Corner to name a few. The international events include Robogames, International Online Programming Contest and ideas. Adopt a tree, Rakhtarpan, Health camps and Spearing Smiles are its primary health campaigns. Women empowerment is also a prominent issue that Techkriti highlights. Woman speakers are invited to share their success stories and inspire others to take the plunge. A new element of Techkriti, in its 2nd year this time, is its open school championship which allows schools in various cities to be a part of this grand fest.
