Srishti… The very word evokes a feeling of unexplored creativity. All that the human mind can imagine, all the ideas it can give wings to and all the fancies it can give color to, are encompassed by this single word. Srishti is the annual techno hobby exhibition organised by Indian Institute of Technology, Roorkee.
- It is one of the largest exhibition that recognises innovation.
- A play ground for young creative minds.
- The only of its kind in IITs.
- The annual culmination of big portion of the institute research work.

The fact that all the events, competitions etc. are held in the Hobbies Club IITR premises make it the most happening place to be in for those three days.
SEO contest:
Overview: An SEO contest is an activity awarding prizes that challenges search engine optimization (SEO) practitioners to rank themselves among the major search engines such as Google, Yahoo, and MSN using certain keyword(s) (from: wikipedia).
Most SEO contests expect people to optimize a single web page for a non-existent phrase of two "silly" words. The main reason for this is to keep existing web sites from getting a head start.
Participants get to showcase their skills and discover and share new techniques for promoting websites.
