Engifest, the cultural festival of Delhi Technological

of the fest was ‘A Utopian Escapade’. The fest was
inaugurated by Mr. Ranjit Kapoor, Director, Actor, and

The first day had a host of activities with events ranging
from debates to fashion competitions. The events
held included Anushthan - a solo and duet singing
competition, Spandan - a solo dance competition,
Shoe Painting, Mr. and Ms. Exquisite, The Screen Patti

highlight of the first day of the fest was a fusion night
featuring artists Papon and DIVINE, which saw massive
footfall as crowds gathered from all across Delhi.
The penultimate day included events catering the
creative side of the fest attendees. From Big Canvas
Paintings and Battle of the Bands to Engi Idol and
Hindi Slam Poetry, it was a chance for the attendees
to exhibit their talent in all spheres. A YouTube Fiesta
that hosted YouTube stars like Jatt Prabhjot, was also
held. The evening concluded with the highly popular
