Technothlon 2026
IIT Guwahati
📌 About the Event
Technothlon is a national level logic and creativity based competition organized by the student fraternity of IIT Guwahati. It is not a conventional academic exam; rather, it aims to test the logical thinking, critical reasoning, and technical aptitude of students from Classes 9 to 12. The competition is divided into two squads (Junior and Senior) and consists of a preliminary round followed by a mains round held during the annual Techniche festival at the IIT Guwahati campus. This challenge provides students a glimpse into the rigorous problem-solving culture of India’s premier engineering institutions.
