Management (IITRAM), Ahmedabad, inaugurated Repertus 2K26, the institute’s National Level
Civil Engineering Tech Fest, on Thursday at the IITRAM campus. The three-day event
continued till March 14, 2026.
The inauguration ceremony was held in the presence of distinguished dignitaries including Shri
P. K. Jain, Director General of IITRAM; Prof. M. K. Barua, Director of IITRAM; and Dr.

the presence of Dr. Jaidevi Jeyaraman, Head of the Department of Civil Engineering.
A major highlight of the first day was KBCE – Kaun Banega Civil Engineer, an engaging quiz
competition inspired by the popular television format, where participants tested their knowledge
of civil engineering concepts, infrastructure, and technical problem-solving. The event attracted
enthusiastic participation from students and stood out as one of the most engaging activities of
the day.
Another key attraction was ANSYS Tech Day, which introduced participants to advanced
engineering simulation tools and their practical applications in infrastructure and structural
analysis. The day also featured hands-on workshops on MS Excel, STAAD Pro, Revit, and
Primavera P6, providing students with exposure to essential industry tools used in design,
planning, and project management.
Repertus 2K26 has been envisioned as a platform to bring together students, academicians, and
professionals to engage with contemporary developments in civil engineering and infrastructure.
The fest featured several technical competitions, workshops, and interactive sessions.
In addition to the technical activities, the fest featured a cultural evening organised in
collaboration with SPIC MACAY, celebrating India’s classical heritage.
Through Repertus, IITRAM aims to provide a platform where young engineers can exchange
ideas, interact with professionals, and explore innovative approaches to the infrastructure
challenges of the future.
