What Kanpur organisers actually run — october for Antaragni and March for Techkriti.
October for Antaragni and March for Techkriti.
IIT Kanpur carries the calendar and does it three times a year. Techkriti, the technical and entrepreneurial festival, runs 19 to 22 March in 2026 for its 32nd edition and is billed as Asia’s largest of its kind. Antaragni, the cultural fest, has run since 1965, takes four days in October and draws entries from over 350 colleges. Udghosh, started in 2002, is now among Asia’s largest college sports festivals — and a sports fest is a different registration problem again, with teams, events and heats rather than seats.
Vihaya Events is not affiliated with these events — they are listed to show the kind of programming Kanpur supports.
Antaragni is one of the largest campus cultural festivals in the country and out-of-town attendance is high — plan accommodation guidance and late-night gate staffing into the ticket.
