WHAT IS IMPULSE?
Impulse is a first of its kind, 24-hour signal processing hackathon conducted by IEEE NITK student branch in association with IEEE NITK SPS student chapter. It presents you with interesting problem statements to ensure a fun-filled learning experience. In addition to the hackathon, a workshop will also be conducted prior to the final event to enhance your experience with us!
Open to students from all over India!
