Pragyan is the ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 20121:2012 certified student-run techno-managerial organisation of National Institute of Technology, Tiruchirappalli (NITT), that conducts an annual techno-managerial festival in the month of February or March. Boasting a participation of 10,000 last year, Pragyan attracts participants from a number of colleges across the country, making Pragyan one of the largest techno-managerial fests in India.

The 14th edition of Pragyan will be held from 1-4 March. The theme for this edition is ‘The Next Dimension’, acknowledging our ascent into a smarter and more connected future. True to its motto – ‘Let’s Celebrate Technology’, this four-day techfest allows the public a glimpse into some fascinating technologies through exhibitions, workshops, events, guest lectures, and much more.

Pragyan’s Exhibitions aim to bring together a broad spectrum of mind-boggling exhibits in the world centered around science and technology. The previous editions of Pragyan have enthralled visitors with exhibits like the Moon Rock sample (2015), INDRO – the Humanoid Robot (2017), and Vanta Black (Vertically Aligned Nanotube Arrays).

The events in Pragyan have been divided into 9 clusters this year – Code It, Creatrix, Concreate, Core Engineering, Grey Cells, Impact, IoT, Manigma and Robovigyan, with prizes worth Rs 12 lakhs up for grabs. The events thus cover a wide range of domains and problem statements, proving to have something for everyone.

Pragyan also provides a platform for students to showcase their technical talent through its two exhibition contests Sangam (an intra-NITT technical contest) and Ingenium (an intercollegiate technical contest exclusively for students from colleges other than NITT).
