Kurukshetra-
It started like this. We wanted to create a synthesis of engineering techniques, skills and thought processes. While engineers think differently from doctors and scholars, what is more important is that engineers think differently from each other as well. We decided to create a stage... nay...a battlefield for the exponents of various engineering techniques to showcase their skill, their stamina, their drive to win for what can be better for the engineering community as a whole but a test of strength, a test of character, a test of will. The name Kurukshetra practically chose itself for the event and what’s more there are prizes a MILLION for the taking!!!

Like any proper war there will be a lot of smaller battles. These battles are going to take place in the areas of MODELLING, DESIGN, MECHANICS, PRESENTATIONS, SOFTWARE, QUIZZES and MANAGEMENT. The mother of all battles is going to be in ROBOTICS of course. There are not only the events where you are expected to get down and dirty, sweat and make things work;but also events where you are expected to be suave and poised and cool and calm. Kurukshetra tests not only your qualifications as an engineer it also tests your resolve to be one and your qualifications to be a representative of the engineering community to the rest of the world.


Kurukshetra is being organized this year, from the 22nd to the 25th of January, 2008 at the hallowed grounds of CEG, Anna University, which is Asia’s largest Technical University.
With quests, ranging from "OPC" to "Robotics", from "Business Plan" to "MATLAB contests”, and with a plethora of quizzes, puzzles and coding events to add spice, KURUKSHETRA 08 promises to be a true Multi-Disciplinary concoction.
The winner will be the one, who not just thinks, but enjoys, as well!

And those of you who can’t venture into the battlefield can always take part in the plethora of online events available. They are online programming contest, online hacking challenge, puzzle challenge etc. Check out the website for more details.

For all the fun loving geeks out there, we have several informal events, which test your ability to think quickly on your feet. Remember you need to compete against yourself !! Lots of goodies up for the grab, ranging from super cool ipods to web cams to wireless mousse and lots of other Kurukshetra souvenirs to flaunt with!!

So Why do you wait for!!
Enter the Battle Field
