Technothlon 2018 – a platform to make your dream come true

April, 2018; Guwahati: Ever dreamt of visiting ISRO? Well, students from IIT Guwahati will help you in realising this dream of yours. The first prize of Technothlon 2018 is not yet revealed, but the runners-up of both squads of Technothlon 2018 win a guided trip to ISRO as a prize. The winners of Technothlon 2017 received a guided tour of NASA.

Online registrations for Technothlon 2018 are open. The participants registering now will have access to Technopedia - the Online Practice Module of Technothlon. These are monthly set of questions giving the first-hand experience of what the paper of Technothlon is going to be about.

The Prelims of Technothlon is scheduled for 15th July 2018. The winners of the prelims will be invited to the IIT Guwahati campus for the Mains during Techniche from 30th August to 2nd September 2018, where they will contest in more challenging rounds, trying to bag the championship. There are various prizes for the winning teams from each squad.

“Recognizing the dire need of technical exposure and a true inspiration for the present day school students, the student fraternity of IIT Guwahati organize TECHNOTHLON. This has now become an event which serves as an able platform to expose the innovation and creativity of a student in all its rawness. Technothlon is getting bigger and better every year, we’d hope to keep getting the similar support in the coming years as well”, said Purvish Shah, Convener Techniche.

Conducted in 2 phases - Prelims and Mains, Technothlon '17 witnessed a huge participation from over 500 centres all over the nation.

The students are divided into 2 squads: Juniors Squad - comprising of 9th and 10th standard students and Hauts Squad - comprising of 11th and 12th standard students (as on 15th July 2018), who get separate question papers, set by the students of IIT Guwahati.

The paper is totally different from that of any other competitive examination; being based solely on logic, analytical ability, and practical observations and involving no academic syllabus.

The paper is to be attempted jointly by a team of 2.

The prelims thus require no initial preparation - just the sheer spontaneity and out-of-the-box thinking capability of the candidates are tested.

The top 50 teams from each squad are invited for the next round - Mains which is held during Techniche at IIT Guwahati.
