THE FEST WILL BE CONDUCTED UNDER THE VISIONARY LEADERSHIP AND ENCOURAGEMENT OF DR. SWATI MUJUMDAR, PRO-CHANCELLOR, SSPU, WHOSE COMMITMENT TO EMPOWERING YOUTH THROUGH SKILL-ORIENTED EDUCATION CONTINUES TO INSPIRE TRANSFORMATIVE INITIATIVES.

KURUKSHETRA 2026 AIMS TO SERVE AS A NATIONAL PLATFORM WHERE INNOVATION MEETS COMPETITION, AND IDEAS EVOLVE INTO IMPACTFUL TECHNOLOGICAL SOLUTIONS.

A NATIONAL CONVERGENCE OF ENGINEERING TALENT KURUKSHETRA 2026 WILL BRING TOGETHER STUDENTS FROM ACROSS INDIA, REPRESENTING DIVERSE INSTITUTIONS, REGIONS, AND ENGINEERING DISCIPLINES. THE FEST OFFERS PARTICIPANTS A RARE OPPORTUNITY TO COMPETE ON A NATIONAL PLATFORM, COLLABORATE WITH PEERS, AND EXPERIENCE A PROFESSIONAL TECHNICAL ENVIRONMENT THAT CLOSELY MIRRORS REAL-WORLD ENGINEERING CHALLENGES.

AT THE HEART OF KURUKSHETRA 2026 LIES AN ELECTRIFYING LINEUP OF ROBOTICS COMPETITIONS THAT TEST MECHANICAL DESIGN, ELECTRONICS, PROGRAMMING, CONTROL SYSTEMS, STRATEGY, AND TEAMWORK. ROBOWARS – THE FLAGSHIP ATTRACTION KURUKSHETRA 2026 PROUDLY HOSTS

ROBOWARS IN MULTIPLE WEIGHT CATEGORIES:

• 15KG CATEGORY

• 8 KG CATEGORY

• 3LB CATEGORY (BEETLEWEIGHT)

WITH THE INTRODUCTION OF THE BEETLEWEIGHT CATEGORY, KURUKSHETRA JOINS A SELECT LEAGUE OF TECHNICAL FESTS IN INDIA—AFTER THE INDIAN INSTITUTES OF TECHNOLOGY—TO HOST THIS GLOBALLY RECOGNIZED COMBAT ROBOTICS CLASS, SIGNIFICANTLY ELEVATING THE FEST’S NATIONAL STATURE. DIVERSE ROBOTICS CHALLENGES IN ADDITION TO ROBOWARS, KURUKSHETRA 2026 FEATURES A WIDE RANGE OF ROBOTICS COMPETITIONS: ROBOSOCCER

• FAST-PACED ROBOTIC MATCHES DEMANDING PRECISION, TEAMWORK, AND STRATEGY ROBO LINE FOLLOWER

• A CHALLENGE FOCUSED ON SENSOR ACCURACY AND PROGRAMMING LOGIC ROBO WRESTLING

• ONE-ON-ONE ROBOTIC COMBAT EMPHASIZING STRENGTH, BALANCE, AND CONTROL ROBO OFF-ROAD RACE

• A RUGGED ENDURANCE CHALLENGE ACROSS UNEVEN TERRAIN AND OBSTACLES THESE EVENTS ALLOW PARTICIPANTS TO EXPLORE MULTIPLE DIMENSIONS OF ROBOTICS, FROM AUTONOMOUS SYSTEMS TO MECHANICAL ROBUSTNESS

BEYOND COMPETITION: LEARNING AND ENGAGEMENT

KURUKSHETRA 2026 EXTENDS BEYOND COMPETITIVE ARENAS THROUGH GUEST LECTURES BY INDUSTRY EXPERTS AND ACADEMICIANS, OFFERING INSIGHTS INTO ROBOTICS, AUTOMATION, EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES, AND FUTURE CAREER PATHWAYS. INTERACTIVE TECHNICAL STALLS, STUDENT PROJECT SHOWCASES, AND FOOD STALLS FURTHER ENHANCE THE FESTIVAL ATMOSPHERE, ENCOURAGING NETWORKING, INTERACTION, AND THE FREE EXCHANGE OF IDEAS.
