Annual Fests

Nirvana is organized by MGIT in March every year. It started in 2004. Musicians and DJs are invited to perform at the show.


MAGISTECH is an event organized by ISTE Students’ Chapter-MGIT which is held annually on 15 and 16 September. The event provides a platform for the engineering students to interact and share their ideas with the other students across the country. The themes of paper presentation competition cover the entire spectrum of engineering and technology. Other major events include the Robotics competition and Tantra (a design competition in which a problem statement is given). This event is conducted as part of the celebrations of Engineers’ Day, the birth day of "Bharath Ratna Sir Mokshgundam Visvesvaraya".

'QUBIT' is the annual technical fest of the Department of Computer Science. It is a prestigious technological event in the state with papers presented from all over the country. It has risen beyond its technical reach and incorporated cultural aspects with the introduction of LAN-Gaming, Treasure Hunts, Fun Stalls etc. giving it an all round reach. It is organized during the month of March right from the year of its inception without fail. It is a technical symposium for young minds and meeting ground for tech-enthusiasts from around the country.
