Opportunity brief
Immerse yourself in the world of analog circuit design! The ACDC is your chance to build robust amplifiers, develop sophisticated analog filters, and compete against fellow enthusiasts under time constraints. Transform your theoretical knowledge into hands-on experience by constructing practical circuits. Test your expertise, create standout circuits, and emerge as a champion! Participants can earn a certificate from one of India's biggest annual tech festivals, certified by ISO 9001:2015.
