About techFEST'26 techFEST 2026 is North India's premier technical festival, organised as part of techFEST'26 - Annual Technology Festival of SLIET. Showcase your talent, compete with the sharpest minds and earn your prizes.
Event Overview: Techno-Vation is a working model presentation of a completed prototype that provides a practical solution using modern technology. Teams will identify a real-world problem within their chosen focus area and build a working prototype to solve it. The aim is to develop sustainable, cost-effective, and energy-efficient models that reduce waste and improve efficiency while applying theoretical knowledge to real-world problems.
Industrial Solutions: Design a technological solution addressing inefficiencies, safety gaps, or automation needs within industrial or manufacturing processes. Solutions may include monitoring systems, process automation, waste reduction tools, or worker safety devices.
Area 2: Product Development &
Market Strategies: Design and prototype a new product or meaningful improvement to an existing product that addresses a genuine consumer or market need. Teams should justify the product’s feasibility, target audience, and go-to-market rationale alongside the working prototype.
Smart Machinery & Appliances: Design a smart, connected, or automated machine or household/industrial appliance that improves efficiency, reduces manual effort, or adds intelligent functionality. Teams must identify their own specific problem within the selected area. Broad or vague submissions without a clearly defined real-world problem may be rejected.
Expected Deliverables: A physical, functional prototype or working model corresponding to the identified problem. A hard-copy detailed report explaining the problem, proposed solution, and its relevance. A printed schematic or block/system diagram displaying the architecture and flow of the solution. Estimated cost and implementation requirements analysis. A brief oral pitch and live demonstration explaining the design choices, efficiency, and real-world impact.
Team Specification: Each team can have a maximum of 6 members from any institute and any branch. All members must carry a valid ID card from their respective institute. Each team must select only one focus area for its prototype. Teams presenting solutions spanning multiple areas or switching areas after registration will not be entertained. Teams must select a unique team name that is not inappropriate, offensive, or conflicting. Each team must specify a team representative for communication with Team techFEST.
Rules And Regulations: Semi-functional or non-functional models may be evaluated with a reduced Functionality score instead of being disqualified, at the judges’ discretion. The judges’ decision will be final. Teams must not interfere with other teams or models. Each participant can participate in only one team. Every team member must be involved in the presentation. Participants must maintain decorum throughout the event.
