Date: 22 August 2025
Venue: E-Classroom, Department of Electrical Engineering
Organised By: IEEE PES, OUCE Student Branch.
Objective
The primary objective of ElectroQuest 2.0 was to ignite technical curiosity, enhance
problem-solving skills, and promote teamwork among students of Electrical & Electronics
(EEE) and Electronics & Communication (ECE) branches. The event provided a platform to
apply theoretical knowledge to practical challenges and to foster innovation in core
engineering domains.
Key Highlights
The event was structured into three engaging rounds designed to test a wide range of skills:
Round 1: Written Test – A 20-question test assessing aptitude, logical reasoning, and
fundamentals of core subjects. No negative marking. Cutoff for qualification to Round 2:
≥ 50%. Time: 20 minutes.
Round 2: Circuit Solving (Team Round) – Qualified participants were grouped into
teams (teams of 4) to solve analog/digital circuit problems. Judges evaluated execution,
correctness, and teamwork. Time: 25 minutes.
Round 3: Rapid Fire (Team Round) – Quick-paced technical Q&A with 20 seconds per
question. Questions covered core concepts, IEEE PES initiatives, and industry trends.
Scoring based on correct answers; final winners decided by cumulative scores.
Participation & Engagement
ElectroQuest 2.0 witnessed active involvement from students of EEE and ECE. A total of 40
participants registered for the event. In Round 1, 8 teams (32 members) qualified for the
next stage. In Round 2, 4 teams (16 members) advanced to the rapid fire round. Finally, 3
teams (12 members) qualified for the final round, competing for the winners’ title.
Participants expressed that the event provided both learning and excitement through its
structured progression with active participation of IEEE PES CORE and Organizers.
Outcomes
Strengthened technical problem-solving and logical reasoning skills.
Enhanced teamwork and collaboration among participants.
Improved familiarity with circuit design, execution and analysis.
Raised awareness about IEEE PES activities and industry-relevant concepts.
Recognition of talent through certificates and cash prizes for winners and runners-up.
Recognition & Awards
Winners and runners-up received certificates and cash prizes. All participants were
awarded certificates of participation.
Conclusion
ElectroQuest 2.0 was a resounding success, meeting its objectives of promoting technical
curiosity and strengthening core engineering competencies. The organizing team was
commended for smooth coordination and thoughtful event design. The success of this
edition encourages the planning of future technical events and workshops to further enrich
student learning and industry readiness.
