The Big Picture

Two heavy clusters. One summer drought.

The whole calendar bunches into two windows. If you only optimise one quarter, optimise Jan–March.

Your route through the year

Don't chase everything. Pick a lane and watch the route draw itself across the season.

    Timing

    When to actually hit "register"

    Golden rule: start watching Unstop + the host's Instagram 2 months before the fest month. The ruler shows weeks before the event.

    Read the Fine Print

    Before you plan your year

    A few honest caveats so you don't get burned:

    • Dates shift 2–6 weeks year to year. Use the month here, then verify on Unstop and the host's Instagram 6–8 weeks out.
    • Mergers reduced the fest count. Vista + Eximius = Venix (IIM-B). Intaglio + Carpe Diem + 7 Lakes Run = 7 Lakes Fest (IIM-C).
    • Prize pools are organiser-published and may bundle in-kind sponsorship. Net cash prizes are usually a fraction.
    • DU society events are fluid. Follow each society, not just the college.
    • Links were checked on 8 Oct 2026. A "✓" means the official page loaded that day. Organisers move sites between editions, so a link can break mid-season.
