Techkriti concludes at IIT-Kanpur

The Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur's annual tech fest Techkriti concluded on Sunday, bringing to a end the programme that showcased the competitive and technical skills of participants from all over the country.

The finals of all the major events and workshops concluded on the last day. The students of the institute claimed to have set a new record of arranging the Rubik's cube, claiming to have broken the previous world record made in London where 1,400 persons had arranged the cubes. Close to 1,900 students had attempted to make the world record in 12 minutes time to enter their name in the Guniness Book of World Record.

On the fourth day, many participants were enthusiastic about displaying their talent to win the major events. Many spectators witnessed the finals of Wild Soccer and Soccon . The electronics enthusiasts demonstrated their circuit-making skills in Analogic finals. The Junkyard Wars' contestants displayed amazing Chariots made out of junk. The robo-wars and other robotic events were lauded by the large audience at the Student Activity Centre where these events were held.

Vintage cars on display too attracted the crowd on the campus and people got pictures clicked with old cars. The fun and frolic continued for hours as it was the last day.

Meanwhile, the last day was a pleasurable package of enthusiasm, hooting and enjoyment for students, followed by the mixed emotions of sweet and sorrowful memories, as the students will be leaving for their respective cities. Many of them had bid farewell to the institute and their new friends as they were witnessed leaving the IIT-K campus.
