A Lab That Slipped Sideways
AUKTAVE is the first edition TechFest of Amity University Kolkata, hosted by ASETK in partnership with the IEEE SB AUK Student Chapter. Two days. 24 hours of hackathon. Seven events competing for the same trophy of bragging rights.
We borrowed a little tension from the upside down. We kept the engineering. The result is a TechFest that feels less like a conference and more like a controlled experiment that escaped the lab.

Hackathon
One day, no escape. A 24-hour in-campus AI hackathon that brings together innovators, developers, and problem-solvers to build impactful AI solutions. The event is track-based, so teams innovate within predefined AI domains. The hackathon is the spine of AUKTAVE 2K26 - but every event is a star.
