Aarohan 2k8

Aarhan 2k8 is the Techno Management fest of NIT Durgapur. This year the fest was held from 14th Feb to 17th Feb and had more than 50 events in total. From the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, University of Calcutta, we formed a team of three members for participating in the events. The team included: Sukanta Bhattacharjee, Ramaprasad Chakraborty and me (Bigyan Bhar).

We started on 13th Feb from Kolkata by bus and reached NIT at night. From 14th to 17th there was a tight schedule of very interesting events. We aimed for the programming contests and competed in :

Code Marauders	C programming	2nd place.
Micromania	8085 and 8051 microprocessor programming	2nd place
Khula Maidan	Programming	Finalist
Kaffeine Wars	Java programming	Finalist
Konfigure	Linux configuration	Finalist
Srishti	Software Development

 

On 17th there was the prize distribution ceremony and we won 2 prizes. Unfortunately unlike last time, this year the organizers did not give out the third prize, which we were confident of acquiring in the Khula Maidan and Kaffeine Wars. On 18th we came back to Kolkata after enjoying the 4 days of events and 3 sleepless nights.

Here are a couple of pictures taken at the venue:
