Apart from these, there are many more competitions that will motivate dancers, poets, singers, photographers, and other art enthusiasts to do their best and earn rewards. Students from all over India are also going to visit the IIT Gandhinagar campus, stay for a few days, and participate in the events.
The two-day hybrid fest is planned to conclude with an EDM and DJ night opened by Vice and Virtue, followed by the main act by the DJ and producer TEJAS which is open for all. Numerous students from Gandhinagar and Ahmedabad plan to be a part of this event to fill the void in the college life that the COVID-19 pandemic had created.
