Circuit Wars is an intense, hardware-focused competition where teams put their core electronics knowledge and practical skills to the test across three progressively challenging rounds. Moving beyond theoretical concepts, participants must rapidly identify electronic components and circuit symbols, assemble functional circuits from scratch to satisfy specific problem statements, and race against the clock to isolate hidden faults and repair pre-built hardware systems.
Identify (Qualifier)
Teams will be presented with various electronic components and diagrams. Participants must correctly identify electronic components, recognise standard circuit symbols, and demonstrate a clear understanding of each component’s function.
Build (Implementation)
Participants are given a specific circuit schematic or a problem statement. Teams must build the required circuit using the provided components on a breadboard. The round concludes when the team successfully tests and demonstrates their working circuit to the evaluators.
Debug (Advanced Troubleshooting)
The final teams will be handed a pre-built, faulty circuit with hidden errors. Teams must quickly analyse the circuit, identify the fault, troubleshoot, and correct the hardware. Victory is secured by demonstrating the fully corrected, working circuit.

Operation LabLock is a competition where teams race against time to resolve a simulated security lockdown at the Aavishkara Research Lab. The teams must navigate hands-on challenges across chemistry, physics, and electronics. Upon successfully completing each round, teams earn a clue letter given in Morse code. Once all rounds are cleared, teams must assemble their decoded four letters to identify a secret 4-letter scientific word (e.g., ATOM) to override the system lockdown and claim victory.
Separate the Mixture
Teams receive a mixture of iron filings, sand, and salt. They must execute a multi-step separation using magnetic force, dissolution, filtration, and evaporation to isolate pure salt. Completing the separation process unlocks the 1st letter of the secret word (in Morse code).
Density Tower Construction
Teams are provided with liquids of varying specific gravities (honey, dish soap, tinted water, oil, and rubbing alcohol). They must layer them in exact sequence to construct a clean, stable 5-layer density column.
Circuits Quest
Teams encounter a sealed security box holding the final clue. Using insulated copper wire, a central iron core, and a power source, teams must wind a functional electromagnet. Generating a sufficient magnetic field retracts an internal iron locking pin to open the box, revealing the 4th letter of the secret word.

Lost in Space is an immersive technical survival challenge where teams take on the role of astronauts stranded in deep space. Across three challenging rounds, teams will decode mysterious transmissions, engineer a safe landing system, and finally rebuild an emergency communication system to send an SOS signal. Only teams that successfully overcome the 1st and 2nd challenges will make it to the next stage.
The Unknown Transmission
Teams receive an encoded signal transmitted from an unknown source. Participants must identify the decoding pattern and decipher the hidden message. The decoded transmission contains the clue or information required to proceed to the next stage. This round tests logical reasoning, observation, pattern recognition, and decoding skills.
Emergency Landing
Teams must construct a protective landing mechanism using the materials provided. Teams must create a structure that allows a ping-pong ball, representing the team’s emergency capsule, to land safely when dropped from a specified height and survive the fall. This round tests engineering ability, creativity, structural design, resource management, and problem-solving.
SOS – The Lost Hope
With their spacecraft’s communication system destroyed, teams are provided with an Arduino and electronic components. Participants must build and program a circuit that transmits an SOS distress signal using light bulbs/LEDs. Successfully transmitting the SOS signal means the team has managed to contact the rescue station and escape the space survival mission.
