Amity School of Engineering and Technology, situated in Bijwasan, is an engineering institute affiliated to the Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University, Dwarka. As our Last Blog, AMITECH’17 is our annual techno-cultural festival of AMITY School of Engineering & Technology. It’s a fun-filled day with energetic and exhilarating events with everyone giving their best to whatever they are involved in.
EARGASM is one event that stands out amongst other equally exciting events. It’s the version of the legendary BATTLE OF BANDS. This event is the ultimate riff-off filled with head banging rock and metal music. Awe-inspiring bands from various renowned colleges affiliated to Delhi University and Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University and many other famous private universities put up a fierce fight every year for supremacy by giving stellar performances.
The blast beats of drums, melodic patterns of synthesizer, powerful and energy filled vocals along with the breath-taking music played on the bass, rhythm and lead guitars send the crowd into a frenzy. Guitarists perform stunts with their guitars. Last year, our extremely talented senior Arpit Sarkar, turned around, put the guitar at the back of his head and then played it!

- Each band consists of 4-10 members.
- There are usually two vocalists, three guitarists playing bass, rhythm and lead guitars, a fabulous drummer and one person playing the synthesizer.
