INCIDENT
Welcome to Incident. It's one of the biggest college festivals in the country (unofficially, second only to Mood Indigo of IIT Bombay).
You, my friend, are going to have a ball.
There are a number of events in Incident. Night events( the most popular by far, everyone looks forward to these), beach events, sports, gaming and so on. First years as a rule do NOT manage these events, but can work as volunteers in the various committees. The different committees where you can do volunteer work are-

1) WORKSHOPS - Workshops are meant to give students an excellent opportunity to learn new skills and gain knowledge about things that are not necessarily in the Engineering curriculum. It is an interactive experience, with professionals coming from all over the country to teach. It is held over a few days and each has its own fixed timings. Also, there is an entrance fee for each workshop.
They are not necessarily technical. To get an idea, there were workshops for Photography, Salsa (dance), Cartoon Making, Self Defense and many more in INCIDENT 2014. The workshops definitely give you a bang for your buck, learn plenty, meet the maestros and get a fresh perspective on things. Not to be missed!
2) NIGHT EVENTS- The night events are the most anticipated and fun-filled of the lot.
Some of the signature events are-
*PRONITES - Takes place at the Student Activity Centre (SAC) and showcases the best musical talent in the country.
Imagine an enormous crowd, thronging around the stage, the place jam-packed, thousands of voices shouting, almost fanatical. The atmosphere is electric and the music, sublime.
Featuring many prominent artists, ENCORE has seen breath-taking and scintillating performances by the likes of Salim-Sulaiman, Sunidhi Chauhan, Javed Ali, Kunal Ganjawala, Indian Ocean, Raghu Dixit Project and many more.
DJ Nite and Western Night are also held, featuring many great rock/alternative artists and DJ’s.
Pronites is the perfect event for all party freaks and music lovers alike. This is the time to lose yourself, dance away and feel the energy of the crowd. As a student, it’s an experience that you will never forget.

*HAUTE COUTURE/FASHION SHOW - Two words. Eye-Candy! The name says it all. You get to watch modern day fashionistas scorch, sizzle, walk the ramp and take your breath away.
A exhibition of personality, taste and creativity by students of many colleges.
Boys, you do not want to miss this. :P

Apart from these there are several events that take place, unique to every ‘Incident’.
3) BEACH EVENTS- The awesome NITK Beach is not left stranded in INCIDENT.
Events such as kite flying, beach volleyball and beach football are held at the beach. Surely a blast for everyone!
Like the water? Well, you can’t really venture out into the dangerous waters on your own, but you can experience the joy of jet-skiing and speed boating in the water (with the help of trained professionals of course). It's loads of fun!
The War of DJ’s event is also held there. The War of the DJ’s is a platform that allows individuals to rise above the constraints of contemporary music and render their ideas, in a battle of will and talent. The best DJ’s come together to get the audience off their feet, each vying for the loudest cheer and the embrace of the audience. All this at the beach! Can’t ask for a better beach party.
4)SPORTS EVENTS-
There are two major sports events: basketball (Slam Dunk) and Volleyball (Spike Fest). Slam Dunk is one of the most popular events of Inci, they even sell Slam Dunk T-shirts. It is an inter-college basketball tournament that involves participation by college teams from all over the country. Similarly Spike Fest is an inter-college volleyball tournament.

The gaming events include the usual popular games: CS, DoTA, NFS, FIFA. Apart from gaming they also organised laser tag in the sports complex.
There are many events and workshops you can take part in during the day. LSD arranges quizzes and debate competitions which include students of other colleges as well, therefore resulting in greater competition. Treasure Hunts, Antakshari (Hindi game where contestants sing songs one after the other), inter-college plays, dance competitions, and many more. One highlight of Inci 2014 was the bike stunts performed by a Bangalore based group on the bank road, which attracted huge crowds and set our adrenaline pumping.
Now, Inci is held during the summer, and in the process of going from event to event, you are bound to get hungry and thirsty. This means going back to the mess right? Wrong. Stalls are set up at 2 strategic locations-1 opposite the workshop next to the MACS department and 1 behind the SAC-serving all kinds of food and drinks. Shawarma, veg shawarma, paratha, club sandwiches, rolls, pizzas, slushies, non-alcoholic beer (a big hit!) and many more items are sold in these stalls. Guaranteed enjoyment for all the foodies. There was also a Hogathon in 2014!
The best part is, there are NO block timings during Incident for boys and delayed block timings for girls as most of the night events go on for a long time.
INCIDENT is unique every year, with host of new events and performances. Arguably the best 5 days of the semester for most of us :D . We could just go on and on about INCIDENT!
