A coding contest specifically for female students to build up their confidence and vent their hidden algorithmic skills.Conduction of a girl-centric event will boost the confidence of the participants, provide them a fair ground to contest and make them more familiar with their technical capabilities. The event was based on unleashing the hidden talent among the females of our society which is in accordance with the views of IEEE.
This event was organised to help the budding coders present in this world with plethora of areas and domains to work on and plenty of opportunities. The idea was that the participants bring their bag of solutions to solve the real world problems of industries and bring their business plan for the project. This will not just need the knowledge of the technical world but the skills of a manager too. This event was kept open to both the management as well as the engineering students. It witnessed a large number of enthusiastic would-be entrepreneurs with remarkable ideas and innovative and practical b-plans. There was a good amount of participation from some other colleges as well. It had an online round first followed by the onsite round at IIIT Allahabad on this day.
A debate competition was organised by IEEE Student Branch IIIT Allahabad in which the participants battled it out on the most gripping issues faced by the world with logical thinking abilities.

The debate competition witnessed students from various colleges and fields and years with their own set of thoughts, ideas and experiences and the mixture of these thought patterns on this platform made it a sight to remember.
Aparoksha in association with IEEE conducted a socio-technical event- She Hacks. The vision of a technical fest as ours is to empower girls in different technical fields and help them polish their skills. Our event resonates with the ideologies of IEEE. We conducted a 10 hour hackathon just for girls, where great minds developed real life solutions and showcased their advanced technical capabilities. This was the second edition of ♀Hacks (SheHacks), meant only for girls! A team had a maximum of 3 members(only girls). We believe that making the choice to participate is itself appreciable and thus we arranged for exciting goodies for all participants with no registration or participation fee. We invited all the interested participants to collaborate on various real-life projects to bring out innovative solutions and be a part of Aparoksha. Software and Hardware projects were all invited.
It is a technical event focused on promoting the Native Android Development amongst the youngsters.
