Fest
Utkarsh 2024
The council's technical fest — three days, eleven events, every club taking part.
Utkarsh is the Science and Technology Council’s own fest: three days in which every club puts up something you can walk in and take part in, whether you have built a robot before or have never opened a CAD file.
The 2024 edition ran eleven events across the North Campus — chassis built from wooden sticks, bridges from ice cream sticks, rockets from plastic bottles, robots fighting in the Village Square, and a scavenger hunt for a rogue organism’s genome.
