VIT is definitely the number 1 private college in south India at least.

Fourth College Fest to visit in Tamil Nadu

Kurukshetra: College of Engineering, Guindy

Kurukshetra: College of Engineering, Guindy

This is a government run college which can rival the likes of IITs and it’s pretty tough to get into this college. But it’s easy to get into its annual fest which has a excellent name ‘Kurukshetra’,an international techno-management fest. This college is pretty old and very famous for its fest; students from all over the world will attend it every year. The competition here is just like the epic Mahabharata.

Sixth College Fest to visit in Tamil Nadu

Anokha: Amrita School of Engineering

Anokha: Amrita School of Engineering

Much like the name, Amrita School of Engineering is pretty strict and infamous for its many rules and strict policies spoken by many of other students(which can be rumors, most of them are!)

But it is still known for its cultural values and it’s upholding of Hindu traditions.

‘Anokha’,the National Engineering tech fest of Amrita School of Engineering, Coimbatore, is a 3-day congregation of some of the brightest minds in India.

Seventh College Fest to visit in Tamil Nadu

Kurukshetra: Sastra University

Rumored to be one of the toughest colleges to get an admission, it’s fest is also known as ‘Kuruksastra’ but it’s not the same as the other one. But the meaning and derivation remain the same i.e battles in various events for glory and prizes.t College Fest to visit in Tamil Nadu

Ninth College Fest to visit in Tamil Nadu

Stress: Annamalai University

Stress: Annamalai University

This is a bit special. This college is one the most famous colleges in Tamil Nadu as such it is run by the State Government. Their fest is called ‘STRESS’- yes, it’s called stress and it’s mainly a tech fest.

Tenth College Fest to visit in Tamil Nadu

Sakura: HIT

Sakura: HIT

Hindustan Institute of Technology or HIT is popular among the students even though it’s just ranked as deemed to be a university. It’s renowned for its aeronautical engineering and has a dedicated fest called ‘Sakura’ while there are other fests but this much more important.

These are the few unique and popular fests in Tamil Nadu. These are ranked on my perception, which is based on the number of people who attended it and the reputation of the college itself. Again these are not in any particular order and these above-mentioned data is only valid for some time, as new fests may emerge later on.
