Tempest is the annual techno-cultural-sports festival of IMU Kolkata (formerly DMET/MERI), widely recognized as a premier inter-collegiate platform within the maritime education ecosystem. It attracts participation from leading institutions across the country, fostering competition, collaboration, and shared learning.

Structured around three major segments—Propulsion, Cacophony, and Chakravyuh—Tempest offers a balanced blend of technical rigor, cultural exchange, and athletic competition. Each segment is professionally curated to ensure fairness, quality, and meaningful engagement for participants.

Beyond competition, Tempest serves as a networking and exposure platform, connecting students, faculty, and alumni from diverse institutions. With its strong organizational standards and legacy, Tempest continues to grow as a preferred destination for inter-college participation.
