"The true sense of intelligence is not knowledge but inspiration."
                                                                                                                                 - Albert Einstein
An inspiration was all it took to make Kshitij see the light of day! What conspired in the years to come will be cherished by all those who witnessed it. Every horizon, upon being reached, reveals another beckoning in the distance. Likewise Kshitij, which is on the verge of completing a wonderful decade of its existence, is all set to embark on a fresh journey, to once again engulf the horizon.

With over 40 events, encompassing varied fields of science, technology and management, Kshitij, the annual techno-management fest of IIT Kharagpur, invites students from all around the globe to put their ingenuity and aptitude to test at an unparalleled level of competition. The largest fest of its kind in all of Asia, offers its participants a wide spectrum of events to prove their mettle, while the huge amount of prize money is reflective of the grandeur of the same. The quality of our events was soon noticed by top notch international organisations like ASME, IMechE, ASHRAE, ACM and IEEE and they continue their association with us. Be a part of this techno-management extravaganza which is scheduled from 1st -4th February, 2013, as we once again seek to mesmerize and enlighten you.

ASME-Student Design ExpositionOpen Ended Hardware Design Competition        

The history of mankind is full of such examples where an invention has revolutionized our lives. Let that be the electric bulb or the modern computers, over time humanity has invented objects and methods for accomplishing complex tasks in a faster, easier and efficient manner. This event provides you with an opportunity to present novel contraptions that you believe can cause a breakthrough in the life of mankind. It is an open hardware design competition, where we invite original hardware creations from the student community. An ideal platform to bring forth the genius within you and amaze us all by your creations.

UNESCO PATRONAGE






Another milestone crossed on an odyssey of brilliance as UNESCO grants its patronage to Kshitij.







A feather in the cap of Kshitij, the patronage is a shining example of the dedication and effort put in by team Kshitij as year after year, the fest touches new heights. Kshitij has come a long way from the humble initiative it was 9 years ago. From a meagre participation of a few hundred in its nascent years, to witnessing a participation of 50 thousand last year, the journey was never easy but immensely rewarding. Carrying forth this glorious legacy, the decade edition of Kshitij has earned yet another badge of merit.

Granted to demonstrate the Organization's moral endorsement of an exceptional activity, patronage is UNESCO's highest form of support. A fruit of years of perseverance, the patronage reminds us that the fest stands for something more than mere statistics. As students in one of India's premier educational institutions we believe that an onus falls upon us to promote technological and managerial disposition among the youth, apart from addressing a higher cause in the form of social initiatives. The faith showed in us by UNESCO further motivates team Kshitij to set higher benchmarks. Eager to live up to its expectations, Kshitij 2013 strives to be a grand success.
