And we almost forgot....thanks a lot to Harshdeep Sinha of Department of CCTV for designing the website.    

Apart from the conventional rock band contest, we also have a couple of other events which may be of interest to bands and individual musicians.

Axetacy: This event is a solo guitar contest. Participants are given 10 mins on stage to prove their skills at the axe (guitar). The result: a foray of licks and solos unleashed by the best of the best. Registration for this event is on spot and is open till the day before the event. A registration fee will also be charged.

Oasis Unplugged: Hate all that distortion and overdrive? Then this is the event for you. An acoustic event where participants will be given 15 minutes on stage to mesmerize the audience with the pure and clean sound of the their acoustic instruments.

Rocktaves is the rock festival of BITS Pilani and is a part of the cultural fest OASIS. It primarily includes one of the biggest rock band competitions in the country along with other events like a solo guitar contest and an acoustic unplugged event.

For years, Rocktaves has basked in the glory of being one of the most sought after platforms in the upcoming Indian rock scene, having launched some of the who's who of the rock scene today.(Parikrama, Prestorika, ThemClones, Indian Ocean and Euphoria etc.)

This year, living up to its reputation, Rocktaves is back with the most intense and challenging contest ever. (and obviously with a lot more goodies up for grabs too)
