Technex is the annual techno-management festival of Indian Institute of Technology (BHU) Varanasi[1] held as a three-day event in late February or early March.[2] The festival and its organising team hold a number of activities throughout the year, as well as several social initiatives to encourage novel technological solutions to major scientific challenges like resource shortages, climate change, and day-to-day problems.[3]

Technex provides opportunities to students hailing from different institutes in India. The festival comprises a number of events, including competitions, workshops and guest lectures from reputed personalities, alongside several social outreach initiatives.[4]

The name is a portmanteau: TECHnical NEXtgeneration. The event started as MODEX, an engineering model demonstration at the IT, BHU, in 1970. Even as the exhibition of technical models including robotics, aeromodelling and other stream engineering are included under Technex, a number of management-oriented programmes like entrepreneurship workshop, business planning, case studies, panel discussion and overall personality development programmes were lined up.
