TECHNOTHLON

Indian Institute of Technology, Guwahati opens its door to the high school students

all over India during its annual techno-management festival Techniche'10 with

TECHNOTHLON- The International School Championship.

We say with extreme pride that we are the only IIT that conducts an event of this

magnitude for the school going students of grade 9-12 !!

Technothlon has become an alias for an event which brings out the hidden technocrat

within every student who participates in it. It serves as an able platform to expose the

innovation and creativity of a student in all its rawness.

With events ranging from Robotics to constructing structures to being a technical

detective etc, we ensure that each and every aspect of the competitor's mind is tested to

the extreme. Also the electrifying atmosphere of one of the nation's biggest technical

festival - TECHNICHE, adds to the glamour of the event !!

TECHNOTHLON PRELIMS

Nationwide prelims will be conducted on 18th July 2010, 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM, in about

65 cities spanning India and online for overseas participants. Based on the performance

of the teams in this examination, the top teams of each module will be short listed and

invited to participate in Technothlon Mains to be held in IIT Guwahati.

Each team will be a given a separate question paper, which has to be completed by them

in the examination hall. The two modules will have different sets of question papers. The

objective of the paper is to test the aptitude and analytical skills of the students.
