Autokriti is North India's largest student-led automotive workshop, run every year by SAE NIT Kurukshetra since 2010. Hundreds of students arrive knowing the theory and leave having actually taken the thing apart.
Gearhead or complete beginner, there is a bench with your name on it — engines, EV systems, embedded electronics, simulation and 3D printing. You do not learn a machine by reading about it.
- FIRST EDITION
- 2010 — one two-stroke scooter engine
- BIGGEST TEARDOWN
- 3.6L turbocharged V6, Porsche Cayenne
- WHO CAN JOIN
- Any student — any branch, any year
- THIS EDITION
- 30 Sep — 4 Oct 2026, five parallel tracks
Fifteen editions of
taking things apart.
Running 30 September to 4 October 2026. Five parallel tracks, rebuilt from the ground up — combustion, electric, IoT with AI/ML, software and simulation, and additive manufacturing. Roaring machines, hands-on projects, and a campus that turns up for it.
Taken apart.
Put back
better.
Rebooted — the workshop comes back bigger than any edition before it. Reengineered — every track rebuilt from scratch, AI and machine learning now running through all five. Returned — to the bench, the tools, and the thing itself in pieces in front of you.

MOVE YOUR CURSOR — THE UNIT TRACKS IT
Five benches.
Pick one.
All five run in parallel across 30 September — 4 October 2026. You leave having built something, not just watched someone build it.
Combustion Vehicle
Dive into the fundamentals of power and performance — intake to exhaust, on a real engine.
Electric Vehicle
Cells, packs, BMS, motors and controllers — the technology shaping tomorrow's mobility.
IoT with AI / ML
The fusion of intelligence and connectivity, built out over hands-on embedded projects.
Software & Simulation
Design, model and optimise the future with SolidWorks and ANSYS.
Additive Manufacturing
Take a part from model to printed object — materials, tolerances and the build itself.

Autokriti is not only benches and teardowns. Every edition brings the machines out of the workshop and onto the tarmac — smoke, noise, and a campus that turns up for it.
