• Must be presentable during Pragyan as a working model or demonstration along with visual aids (Charts, Visual Aids, etc.)

2. A panel will scrutinize the idea, and if deemed feasible and worthy, you will be given the green light to pursue the idea.
3. The second round will be held in the month of January 2017 wherein all teams will be required to present a comprehensive proposal, work schedule, cost report and justification for the project.
4. After systematic reviews, the complete presentation along with the working model/demonstration must be ready by the last week of February 2017, following which it will be showcased during Pragyan’17.
