Explore some of the events that you can be a part of:
Aikyam, our first student festival at the Bhopal campus, was three whole days of energy, creativity, and shared experiences. From sports and theatre to art, music, dance, and student-led stalls, every campus corner stayed abuzz. What stood out was how students came together to both create and participate. Aikyam reflected the spirit of collaboration and expression on campus.
At the beginning of every academic year in August, university students host an introductory week called ‘Campus Week’ where all the extra-curricular opportunities and endeavours are introduced to freshers. Clubs and bodies like the Community Engagement Cell or the Placement Cell, host seminars, games, reading circles, film screenings and community gatherings to give the newly admitted students a glimpse of the vivid co-curricular social activities that the campus has to offer.
Unmukt is Azim Premji University, Bengaluru’s main annual three-day fest welcomed with Dhol and Tamate. Each day is packed with entertaining activities and events including open mic, workshops on micro greens and phone photography, games, and a multitude of student and faculty-led community events. The uniqueness of Unmukt is the festive enthusiasm that acts as a productive recess and recluse for students from their academic life, at the same time solidifying campus solidarity and spirit.
Onam is one of the huge celebrations on campus with traditional games like the tug of war, ethnic dances and music performances hosted by festival lovers on campus. Onam special sweets are offered for lunch and stalls selling food items, homemade jewellry, and handicrafts. In 2024, an exquisite rangoli was designed at the entrance of the Residences building and it seemed the perfect time to click pictures in traditional wear with friends and classmates.
At the end of October, the entire campus dresses up in dark, funky and ghastly attires. The Halloween party is the best time of the year to show off your theatrical skills in display events before the party and to let out the darkness and dance to the nocturnal rhythm. The after-party usually takes horror-enthusiasts to the ghost story sessions that are conducted in unknown, eerie locations on campus.
The annual sports fest of the university, Esprit hosts activities, tournaments and games. All students on campus are segregated into 6 houses, and their performances and participation in each sport and game help them earn points for the house they represent. If you are an athlete or a workout warrior and love team sports, this is the fest that you should keep an eye out for!
