EXODIA’18
Deemed as one of the biggest
techno-cult fests of the North, the Seventh edition of EXODIA is all set to be pulled off this spring, 6th-8th
April, among the serene valleys of the Himalayas, by the Indian Institute of
Technology, Mandi.
Right from its inception, the fest
has proved to be a great crowd magnet (drawing a clean 3000+ crowd in its 6th
gig), and has thus despite its nascency, been hiking to greater heights
with each new edition.
A great balance of technical and
cultural events and workshops fuelling the competitor, the learner in you -
alongside pro-nights with mind-blasting performances by all-known youth icons
to groove your mundane, excitement-starved spirits at the end of the day; and
not forgetting to ignite and motivate a career-oriented mind, by offering some
phenomenal guest lectures by who’s who of the technical and entrepreneurial
world, Exodia’s got something in its baggage for everyone.
And all this fun while enjoying the
gorgeous, scenic Kamand valley in Himachal; (Did we tell you about the breath-taking hiking and trekking trips the
participants get to go on)?
The fest sprawls itself into a wide
spectrum of cultural and technical fields. we’ve got a plethora of activities, Bandslam (for all the musicians out there), Canvas (something for the painters), Coutour (Fashion police doing rounds better dress well!!), Groove Fanatics (For the slaves to the
rhythm) are some cultural events to name.
When it’s a fest by an IIT,
technicalities, we can’t miss. Exodia hosts fiercely competitive Hurdle Rush (A robotics maze maneuver
event), Dementia (Competitive Coding
