Technical Event Ideas For Techfest - 2023

Every year almost every engineering college in India organizes TechFest - an event comprising of technical events, competitions, paper presentation competitions, seminar presentations and so on.

Update: We keep updating this page with ideas every week. Share this page with your friends over WhatsApp / FB / Insta and get their opinion on these ideas. Of course, you can join CrazyEngineers and get even more innovative ideas from fellow engineers.

The events also open a large number of opportunities to students to attend these fests, get updates about the latest in engineering and technology and also present newer ideas to engineering audience.

Organizing a tech-fest is also a great challenge to the organizers as they've to come up with new ideas and events. It's not at all an easy task.

We picked up this issue where our engineers from various backgrounds and countries brainstormed about various technical ideas that could become a part of techfest. We've come up with really interesting and innovative ideas.

If you're not satisfied with the ideas discussed in that discussion thread, feel free to ask for more. I'm sure all our engineers would be happy to help you.

Oh yes, did I forget to tell you, it's all for free?

Following is the list of innovative, unique and fun event ideas for your techfest. We have added event names their taglines, overview and a summary of how you can organize them in your college. If you have questions, feel free to ask them in the comments, or start a new discussion.

    #-Link-Snipped-# in my college we organised a mock recruitment drive. Candidates had to crack the written aptitude test, followed by two rounds of group discussions. Shortlisted candidates were then put through Technical round of interviews conducted by department lecturers. We had 3 winners from each participating branch. It was one of the events that had maximum participation.

    #-Link-Snipped-# - You need to tell us a bit more about your technical event and the names you are considering. Only then we can make suggestions.
