INFOTSAV is the annual techno-managerial festival of Atal Bihari Vajpayee Indian Institute of Information Technology and Management, Gwalior (ABV-IIITM).[1] Students of IPG organise this fest along with various technical, managerial, robotics, online, informal, gaming, quiz, school and fun events. This institute organises events that acknowledge technological innovations and management procedures with accolades every year.
ABV-IIITM, in its continuous efforts to recognise excellence in areas of technology and management among its scholars, organises ‘Infotsav’ every year. Participants are invited from leading technological and management institutes of this country, while premier industrial and business houses sponsor this event. Awards are in the form of prize money and recognition.
Events in Infotsav'19
1. Whizz-Troop – This is one of the marquee events of INFOTSAV 19 which features four different yet interesting contests, one from each field i.e. technical, managerial, informal, and gaming. Participants will be forming teams of four, with each member competing in a single event. Teams will have the choice of either maximising their score in a contest, or using the time left to add it up for the next one. The resultant score would decide the winner of the event!
2. Technical Events:
We propose to carry out a plethora of events ranging from code lover's events to developer's art related to web design, social initiatives, and app design. The details of the events we propose to be conducted under this category are as follows:
• Hackathon:
24 hours, nerve-wracking problem statements and an environment full of code and logic, hackathon will provide a platform for the participants to make a website, Android app, or a desktop app in a limited time period based on a real-life problem. • Techathlon:
This event is an ultimate test of codes and logic and consists of three events which can be played either individually or as part of a techathlon, wherein the cumulative scores will be added to decide the winners. The events are:
Code Stumble: This event will consist of two rounds. In the first round, participants are required to write a code given on the problem in such a way that it is hard to decipher. In the following round, the codes would be randomised and participants would have to decipher them and tell the output.
Bug spot: Participants are required to find out bugs from the code given to them in the least time possible.
Algo writing: Participants would be given a problem statement, and they are required to write an algorithm to solve it on paper. They will be judged on the basis of their efficiency and accuracy. • Code Rush:
The problem statements would have an edge as they would be deciphered. Participants would have to master cryptography, decipher the problem and then come up with a solution in the least time possible. They will be judged on the basis of time and whether they passed the test cases. • Code Shuffle:
To give an edge to the technical stuff going on in the events, code shuffle would give a different angle as the code would be given to the students beforehand, but in a shuffled manner. The sequence of the commands would be different. The participants are required to find out the correct sequence and come up with the final code and the correct output. 3. Robotics Events:
We intend to conduct a series of fun and dedicated events for the hardcore lovers of the robot family and the related coding stuff. The details of the events we propose to be conducted under this category are as follows: -
• Blazing Wheels
This is a track event. Put your engineering and coding skills to the test by building a remote-controlled bot that will run on our custom-designed track. But beware, the track will be filled with various fixed and moving obstacles which the robot will have to overcome. And failing to do so may incur penalties. It’s a race, so judging will be done based on points scored and time taken.
• Robo Soccer
So, you think the game of soccer is boring, just men running after a ball? Well, what about we let robots play it. Bring your custom-built robot that will compete with other robot(s) in this specially modified version of soccer. Watch and cheer for your favourite bot as they make the traditional game more futuristic. Matches will be played either 1 vs 1, or 2 vs 2. The high scorer at the end of full-time wins.
• Course Chaser
This is the classic line follower competition. Test your knowledge of robotics; build a line follower robot capable of autonomously making decisions and following a black line. Bring your innovation to this cat-and-mouse fun game. Scoring of the event will be based on time taken and checkpoints covered.
• Drone Shot
Achieve new heights with your self-made drone and compete in an obstacle-filled course. Passing through rings, steep climbs, winds – you never know what awaits you and your flying machine. This is a time-based event. Also, a bonus round awaits.
• Robo Wars
We’ve watched people fight. We’ve even watched dragons fight. Now let us watch robots do the same. Robo Wars will consist of two bots fighting each other in a designated arena. Their aim will be to outpower their opponents: push them out of the arena or throw them in the pits allocated for this purpose. The most powerful bot after a certain time wins.
4. Managerial Events:
We propose to carry out a range of events for enhancing managing, marketing, and operation skills of individuals/groups because the perspective of our college not only involves the technical field but also the managerial field. The details of the events we propose to be conducted under this category are as follows: -
• Jobs:
The best way to do a thing is to prepare for it beforehand. With the event Jobs, the participants would be getting a hands-on experience with mock interviews and selection processes, enhancing their personality and knowledge in the process.
• Pinnacle:
The flagship event of the managerial category, Pinnacle invites some amazing ideas in the form of a presentation that can showcase both the managerial as well as the personality of the participant.
• Sameeksha:
Sameeksha is the paper presentation event, wherein the participants are required to present a deep case study on a given topic and show their managerial acumen.
• Corporate Crisis:
The participants would be given a real-life crisis situation that they have to overcome. They need to show their managerial skills, teamwork, and the witty tactics that they will be implementing in order to solve the crisis.
• Brandsome:
In this event, the participants are required to come up with a product that can prove to be a benchmark in making the lives of people easier. They also have to show their convincing skills while trying to promote their product as an influential brand.
• IPL Auctions:
Making the event a fun one, Auctions would provide a break to the participants as they would be participating in mock bidding of the players. This would test their managerial skills as they would be on a tight budget while trying to gather the best of the players.
5. Online Events:
We intend to organise a series of fun and dedicated events for indulging a good amount of traffic at our Fest social media platforms (Facebook page, website) and also a way to promote our Fest at a social networking level. The details of the events we propose to be conducted under this category are as follows: -
• Trove Trace
Trove Trace is the simulation event in the form of an online treasure hunt contest. A series of hints would be provided on the Facebook page, and the participants would have to decipher them in order to win the hunt.
• Jobs Bureau
Jobs Bureau gives you a chance to get placed before the actual campus drive in a virtual world where you learn to be an efficient project leader and a skilled coder. The simulation takes you into the flock of assignments where you move ahead by gaining experience and money.
• Poster Making In this online event, participants will show their imaginative and creative skills by designing a poster for the next Infinity Wars movie. They will be judged on the basis of likes as well as aesthetic and graphic designing skills.
• Boomerang
This is an online event where the participants will use the Boomerang feature of Instagram and post it. They will be judged on the basis of likes and creativity.
• Pranksters The participants will perform a prank and post the video of it on Facebook. They will be judged on the basis of likes and creativity.
• Fill in the memes The participants will be given an incomplete meme, and they will have to fill it using all their creativity and would be judged on the same.
6. On-site Events:
We intend to conduct a sequence of entertaining and lively events for indulging the crowd/audience of our Fest during the fest dates so that they didn’t get scattered and the college should look lively during that time. The details of the events we propose to be conducted under this category are as follows: -
• BIT Quiz This quiz will test the participants’ business and IT knowledge in the form of the famous quiz show Jeopardy.
• Programming Quiz: This quiz will test the participants’ coding knowledge in various languages such as C, C++, Java, Python, etc.
• Aptitude Quiz: This quiz will test the participants’ aptitude through mind teasers and puzzles.
• Anime/MCU Quiz: This informal event will test the participants’ knowledge of anime, TV shows and will also feature questions from the MCU and DC series.
7. Additional: • Gamiacs: A series of fun-loving computer/mobile games that will help the crowd to explore their different skills. We will be hosting games of CS:GO, PUBG, and Tekken.
• To make the crowd more engaged we will also be having a lot of informal events like Treasure Hunt, Zorbing, Paintball, Tug of War, and Dodgeball.
