DJ NIRMITI is an annual tech-fest of the college organised every year in association with the ISME student chapter. Due to the ongoing pandemic, the tech-fest was online from the 25^th of March to the 30^th of March, 2021. Brief details of the events that were held during the tech-fest are as follows:

B-PLAN: The theme for the event was AI, ML, and Industry 4.0. In B-Plan, participants were given problem statements and were expected to come up with solutions supported by market research. They then had to pitch the idea to potential investors or customers.

BULL RUN: This event was based on the Dalal Street Investment Journal. The winners were declared based on the maximum principal amount left and the return-on-investment percentage.

CAD CHALLENGE: This year’s theme for Cad Challenge was ‘flexible furniture’. In the elimination round, participants were given a drawing that they had to replicate using CAD software. In the second round, students were expected to develop and conceptualise ideas for smart furniture.

TREASURE HUNT: This year’s Treasure Hunt event was held virtually through Google forms and consisted of 2 rounds. Each participant was provided with clues. Participants had to solve the clue to get the next clue and proceed further. This event saw a participation of about 120 students increased the competitive factor.

QUIZ: This event challenged the general knowledge of participants. The winners were declared based on the time taken and the total number of points accumulated.
