Spring Fest, IIT Kharagpur

Spring Fest is the annual social and cultural festival of Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur, the pioneer of today ’s elite institutions with a footfall of more than 50000.

Spring Fest is arguably one of the largest of its kind in Asia to be organized entirely by students. What started in 1960 as an intra-college competition has now turned in to an ever growing festival currently in its 60th edition (Diamond Jubilee) and is scheduled from 26 January – 28 January, 2018. Justifying its slogan, Spring Fest has always been ‘the true spirit of youth’ and encompasses aspirations and enthusiasm of college students across the nation. A plethora of more than 100 events ranging from varied genres provides a platform to the students where they can prove their mettle and caliber. With a myriad of fun and intellectually stimulating events, huge star nights every year and a versatile crowd profile, Spring Fest has gradually consolidated its position as the premier inter-collegiate fest.

The fierce competitions, uninterrupted entertainment, breath-taking pro-shows, and something to suit everybody is what gives SF its magnificence. A perfect blend of fun and frolic, of excitement and ecstasy, of devotion and dedication, Spring Fest is an occasion for celebration and is what brings alive the 2,100 acre IIT Kharagpur campus. It is that time of the year when students from all over come down to Kharagpur to participate in the plethora of novel events and to witness the biggest stars from India and abroad perform.
