2. “NEXUS” (Sri Venkateswara College a.k.a. Venky):
The pride of the south campus Sri Venkateshwara College’s Nexus is an up-and-coming player in the run. Like every star fest this one too vaunts of celebrities and large crowd line-up. To make up for the excitement missed in the past few years last year we saw ‘Guillotine” a death metal genre band of Delhi, Advaita and Shibani Kashyap. What is to be looked out for now is whether NEXUS is able to live up to the same legacy. Their day one is composed of popular competitions such a solo and group Western Dance, Solo and duet western vocals, second with a fashion show street plays and quiz and on the third day the thrill is carried forward.
With the kick start of the festive season in DU, this is one fest you simply cannot miss!

4. “RENAISSANCE” (Kirori Mal College):
The annual cultural fest of Kirori Mal College is celebrated with much pomp and show. The three day event will be laced with a number of games, competitions, performances and culinary delights.
The student union of KMC have done backbreaking work to make Renaissance get included in the A-Listers of fests of DU.

5. MONTAGE (JMC):
If annual fests of DU were defined as myriad of events, plethora of new activities, colorful themes and soaring budgets then MONTAGE simply cannot be looked away from. Montage is usually held in the month of February but its preparations begin months before. Every year a core team is selected that plans out everything, goes to various sponsors to talk to them, advertises the fest and co-ordinates among all societies of the college. It is a team of approximately twenty members who work day and night to make the event a huge success. During the fest they can be spotted easily- a Montage T-shirt on their backs, a walkie-talkie in their hands and forever running around in college.
Street plays, classical singing, beat-boxing, rock bands, Dances, poster making, creative writing, debates, quizzes, choreography, stage plays, photography, you name it they got it, an palette of events! Besides this, there are some fun events like treasure hunt, radio jockey hunt and rangoli making and also, the trademark of every successful event, MONTAGE too has it evening attractions, the DJ night with some very prominent DJs and band or singer performances the next day.
Not to forget the fetish for foodies are the various food stalls by leading food chains and beverages. They are days of absolute bliss for every student as no bell rings to remind them of their classes. Another feature that sets Montage apart is that unlike other college fests there is no entry fee.
All this is made a grand sensation by pure hard work of the students and has brought it in the renowned and celebrated names of the pre-eminent fests of Delhi University.
