Pragyan
2012
The International
Techno-Management Festival of NIT Trichy
The National Institute
of Technology, Tiruchirappalli prides itself on being one
of the foremost Engineering colleges of India. Set in the
town of Trichy, whose cultural history needs
no introduction, NITT is known to provide an environment
for extending knowledge beyond just the curriculum. Its
students, coming from diverse backgrounds, break all
cultural and barriers and come together in organizing
Pragyan 2012, a techno-management fest of International
magnitude.
Conceived in 2005,
Pragyan (Sanskrit, for Supreme Intelligence) undoubtedly
is the best brainstorm by the NITT students. The academic
exposure guaranteed by the fest is unbelievable.
Interaction with technical geniuses, management gurus, and
renowned scientists is ensured. Students from all over
India participate, enriching themselves.

Greengineering:
"All that is necessary for evil
to triumph is for good men to do nothing." ~ Edmund Burke
Once thought of as the
epitome of environmental devastation and atmospheric
pollution, engineering has become a means of curing the ills
it once wrought. With sustainable technologies taking the
upper hand in every sphere, innovations that are on par with
these expectations are called for. Taking up this spirit,
Pragyan puts forth a platform to give these conceptions a real
sense. Global warming and climate change are for real… And so
is the fact that it’s not too late. So buck up, get your grey
cells moving. A green lifestyle combined with original
thinking can save our planet.
The world is getting more
serious about the environment - but what about you?
Brainwork:
Calling the veterans and
neophytes alike to turn their minds on and churning; for
Brainwork is one larder of events that is sure to fry gray
matter. Whether it be brain wrecking puzzlers, cogitation,
quizzes or just plain simple Science; these contests call
those who think themselves
worthy to put their
thought-organizing and knowledge-parading skills to the test…
OpeNit:
Enter the penguin.
If you got caught in the wheels
of Red Hats, Debians and Slackware, and are itching to
show off; be our guests! OpeNIT is a treat to those bitten by
the Linux bug. A set of events that give a glimpse of the FOSS
world…
Management:
Pragyan wouldn’t be
techno-management, if it weren’t for the events that test
the entrepreneurial and business acumen of our participants!
Here, our contestants turn themselves into many things; from
mean, business-minded strategists to share-market sharks to
the apprentice. At the end of the day, these events are all
about raking in the moolah! After all, it’s just good
business; and that’s the way the cookie crumbles…
Each year the success of the
fest makes it impossible to believe it could be made better
and yet every year Pragyan attains newer heights. Pragyan
2012, scheduled from 23rd to 26th February, will be no
exception to this trend… So this is a battle cry for all the
Pragyan of the world.
Let us unite and ignite our
passion,
Let’s Celebrate
