On 8th and 9th November 2017 our society PHOENIX conducted an event DESOTRIX. The event witnessed ample participation and enthusiasm from the students of every year.

The first round involved the solving of technical riddles and puzzles on the basis of which the students were given points which gave them benefit in the subsequent round.

The next day marked the beginning of the final round. This round involved circuit designing and students with lesser points could also increase their points by debugging few circuits made by our coordinators. The points were used to purchase various components and hence design the circuit.

The participants were being judged on various parameters like time taken to design the circuit, accuracy of the outputs, number of components used etc. and finally the winners were being agnized.

The three core technical societies of AKGEC namely PHOENIX, SAMVEG and OORJA conducted ROBOTRIX’17, an annual workshop on manual and autonomous robots on 11th and 12th February, 2017.
