Chitkara Business School organizes Chitkara Mandi every year during Oct-Nov at Paras Downtown Zirakpur where MBA students are evaluated for their Sales & Marketing Skills. From last couple of years ECE department of Chitkara University Himachal Pradesh is also taking part in the event where ECE students demonstrate, promote and sell their low cost, innovative electronic products designed by them in university labs.

The activity provides a very good overall exposure to our ECE students. They go back to their electronics basics and come up with a innovative ideas that can be realized in a form of products, they learn the basics of electronic product design, they learn different ways and means to cut down the cost of their product to keep the selling price low, they learn art of marketing, promotion & branding and lastly they learn team work, tackling unappreciated challenges and working under tight deadlines to deliver a final products. After all the hard work they taste success when they sell their products to customers at Chitkara Mandi and generate revenues for themselves. The whole exercise gives our students a feeling of being entrepreneurs and motivates them in think in this direction.

This year Chitkara Mandi was held during November 6-7 and around 20 ECE students participated with 4 electronic products all designed, developed and manufactured in university labs. Schematic and PCB layout design of electronic circuits was carried out using Proteus PCB designing tool. PCBs were manufactured in-house using copper clad boards etched using Ferric Chloride followed by assembly of components. Once the electronics was ready, the circuits were beautifully packaged inside aesthetically designed casings by the students.
