The Diode IEEE NITK is a dynamic community of students passionate about Digital Design, Analog Circuits, Signal Processing, Machine Learning, Embedded Systems, and Robotics. We foster a culture of hands-on learning and innovation through peer-driven Knowledge Sharing Sessions and Expert Talks by industry leaders. With flagship national-level hackathons such as Embedathon, Electrika, Impulse, and Robotrix, Diode provides a platform that inspires curiosity, collaboration, and technical excellence among its members.
For the 2022-23 academic year, IAS showcased a project on a three-level boost converter design for MPPT applications in PV cells. SPS also boasts to showcase state-of-the-art projects such as 'Low Light Image Enhancement using MIRNet', and 'Leveraging Frequency Analysis for Deep Fake Image Classification' at the annual project expo at NITK. In addition, SPS finds its presence in paper discussion sessions, expert talks, and many more enriching activities. Nation wide Workshops, Knowledge sharing sessions and Hackathons were conducted throughout the year by the all three chapters under Diode.
Robotrix is the flagship event of our Robotics and Automation Society (RAS) Chapter at NITK, which is set to be conducted online this year. This initiative aims to introduce students to the principles of robot control using Coppeliasim, a leading simulation platform. Over the week, from 14th December to 21st December 2025, participants will engage in expert talks, workshops, and assignments, culminating in a 24-hour hackathon. The event is open to 1st, 2nd and 3rd year students of B.Tech programs across all colleges in India.
