As per PTI feed, all the Directors of the IITs held a discussion at IIT Kanpur in the first week of December 2016 and were very enthusiastic in this regard. They have jointly agreed that organising a separate stand-alone festival is not feasible, but have decided that it can be taken up as a pilot project and proposed a collaborated IIT tech fest on a rotation basis. Currently, each IIT organises its own tech fest.

Every year, several prominent IIT's organise its very own annual tech festival which has acquired the international dimension. Take for example IIT Bombay 's annual festival where students both India and abroad participate.

IIT Kharagpur 's annual tech festival draws about 70, 000 students from around 1400 college across India. The event is held in different categories that draw around prize money as Rs. 65 lakhs. It is recognised as one the leading events of Aisa with the patronage of different international organisations like – UNESCO, South Asia Youth Environment Network (SAYEN), Centre for Environment Education (CEE) etc.
