'Eclecia 2006'
A high point in the history of Eclecia was reached in its 4th year of celebration when the festival was organised in the Heritage campus for the first time. On the home ground, Eclecia 2006 not only drew the attention of the college going fraternity but also had the patronage of many corporate houses. Three days of music and masti reached its peak on the final day when Indian Ocean belted out its soul-stirring music to enthrall one and all.

'Eclecia 2009'
A time when Eclecia went international! This year was different and different in all sorts. With Breathe and Rhythmscape, Eclecia not only gave everyone soul-stirring evenings on the lush-green Heritage campus but with Toshi and DJ Harish, all got the chance to let their hair down. With fireworks piercing through the April night sky, everyone swayed to Breathe - the Pink Floyd cover band which was undoubtedly the best thing that Kolkata saw in International Rock since a long time. Not forgetting the eclectic performance of RhythmScape who had none other than THE AMYT DUTTA as guest artist, Bickram Ghosh along with the rest had mesmerized the crowd for once and all. Breaking away from the traditional norms of classical music, Fusion was never so entralling! Eclecia 2009 will be remembered as the time when a college fest became a Kolkata Event!
