What makes our paper so special?
No prerequisites are required for the exam i.e. you don't need to go through any special preparation for this exam. The exam aims for developing critical thinking and analytical skills among students. In our knowledge it is one of the only exams where you have to enjoy and solve the questions in a group. According to us, the beauty of the creative and analytical process involved in solving a puzzle can be enjoyed best while discussing your thought process with someone else*.
1. Prelims: is a written preliminary examination that takes place in numerous schools all over India in July. It involves no prerequisites or general knowledge, and students have to rely on their logical and analytical thinking skills alone. The question paper is generally of 2 and ½ hours in length and will have various sections like math, puzzles, code crunchers, and more.
This year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Prelims will be held in an online mode, and students will participate individually.
2. Mains: is an event-based competition, conducted during Techniche, the Techno-Management Festival of IIT Guwahati. The top 50 teams from each squad compete against each other in challenging events designed to test their innovation, creativity, and imagination. These events do not require any prerequisite knowledge and, any extra knowledge required is taught to the students by us. The winners of Technothlon are crowned based on their performance in these events. In addition to this, students are also free to attend the numerous competitions, lectures, workshops, and music performances of Techniche.
