Annual festivals
Annual College Fest:
Pyrokinesis Pyrokinesis, the annual national level technical
cum cultural festival of Assam Engineering
College is very popular among all academic
institutions of the north east in the last couple
of years due to its unique composition and

the technical and cultural extravaganza.
Technokinesis, the technical section of this
fest, provides a common forum for budding
technocrats to prove their technical skills in a
battle of wits and knowledge. It also gives the
engineers-to-be an insight into the cutting–
edge technologies and contemporary path
research through lecture sessions, workshops
and discussion forums conducted by the
experts in this field. The cultural section of the
event includes a competition for bands, DJ
nights, performance by local schools.
Annual technical fest : Udbhavanam
Assam Engineering College, the premier
technical institution of north-east India has
