Shaastra 2016 was scheduled to occur from January 2 to January 5, 2016. The horrible state of the IIT campus and the city of Chennai, still reeling from the effects of the 2015 South Indian Floods of November and December 2015, forced the organizers to reschedule Shaastra to January 23.

The fest was held from January 23 to January 26.
