DJ NIRMITI is an annual tech-fest of the college organised every year in association with the ISME student chapter. This year, the tech-fest was held from 8th March to 11th March 2022. Brief details of the events that were held during the tech-fest are as follows:

The techfest started with an event called BULL RUN on the first day i.e., 8th March 2022. This was the event in which we aimed to make students aware of sound investing and show their skills through a live simulation of the actual stock market. The students strategically planned and invested in the stocks to ultimately gain the most returns at the end of the trading session. The winner was declared based on the highest %ROI. As a whole, the session was highly informative and interesting where students gained several inputs on the practical areas in capital markets, commodity markets, and stock trading (NFO and equity). After the completion of the event committee members calculated the % ROI of each participant and declared Chirag Jiwnani as the winner.

The committee hosted an event B-PLAN for students of all branches deliberately through a period of 3 days from 8th March 2022 to 10th March 2022. The basic aim for this event was to give the participants a zest of what goes on and around the process for making a company. B-PLAN comprised of 3 rounds which were divided into 3 days respectively. The first round was an innovative idea we tried for the first time named “Reverse Shark Tank” where each team that participated got a product from Shark Tank and they got limited time to prepare the pitch which then had to be presented in front of the judges. Each team was given a product that was selected from technical fields. The teams consisted of 1-3 team members. The rising interest in the shark tank show brought the students more enthusiasm and as a result, we got overwhelming responses from over 21 teams participating in the event.

Cadd Challenge Event was held on 9th March 2022 at 9.00 am in the premises of D.J. Sanghvi College of Engineering, for all the college students interested to portray their creativity and skills. There were more than 16 participants who were challenged with a problem statement given. They had to design a multifunctional tool on any of the software mentioned, either Solidworks, Inventor, or Fusion 360. One of the major constraints here was time, they had to design, explain it using a video and make a report for the same in 3 hours considering the evaluation criteria given. The whole event went smoothly without any malpractices or discrepancies. The work of these participants was evaluated by our judge, Sandeep Sir from CADD Center.

On 9th March 2022, we had our event Treasure Hunt for the students of all branches. The treasure hunt was a time-bound activity comprising of three rounds of quizzes, along with some fun dares like flip-the-bottle and burst-the-balloon, that the students had to complete after which they worked on decoding the clues given out, to reach the next round. The turnout for this event was huge as more than 80 teams participated. The students worked in small groups to solve the clues and finally locate the treasure. The idea of hunting for hidden clues scattered over the campus and solving it first had been exciting and adventurous for all the participants. There was a lot of exhilaration as participants rushed from pillar to post to decode the clues and then reach the next clue. Each clue was in the form of a riddle and it was overwhelming to see the participants savour to solve them.

The committee organized the first Cricket Auction ever to occur in DJS Nirmiti on the 10^th and 11^th of March. This was the first time that this event was happening in Nirmiti, and the students, as well as the committee, were very excited about this. Our event was well received by the participants. We distributed a short quiz on Cricket on 10th March and shortlisted the 10 teams that would battle it out in the Auction on 11^th March.
