TECHNOTHLON

Indian Institute of Technology, Guwahati opens its door to the high school students
all over India during its annual techno-management festival Techniche'10 with
TECHNOTHLON- The International School Championship.

We say with extreme pride that we are the only IIT that conducts an event of this
magnitude for the school going students of grade 9-12 !!

Technothlon has become an alias for an event which brings out the hidden technocrat
within every student who participates in it. It serves as an able platform to expose the
innovation and creativity of a student in all its rawness.

With events ranging from Robotics to constructing structures to being a technical

detective etc, we ensure that each and every aspect of the competitor's mind is tested to
the extreme. Also the electrifying atmosphere of one of the nation's biggest technical
festival - TECHNICHE, adds to the glamour of the event !!

TECHNOTHLON PRELIMS

Nationwide prelims will be conducted on 18th July 2010, 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM, in
about 65 cities spanning India and online for overseas participants. Based on the
performance of the teams in this examination, the top teams of each module will be
short listed and invited to participate in Technothlon Mains to be held in IIT Guwahati.

Each team will be a given a separate question paper, which has to be completed by them
in the examination hall. The two modules will have different sets of question papers. The
objective of the paper is to test the aptitude and analytical skills of the students.

No Prior preparation is required to take the preliminary examination. Use your Brain to
guide you through it.

The results of the prelims will be declared on or before 7th august and the selected
teams will be informed by phone and email.

The top 250 teams of each module will be awarded with merit certificates.
