Anveshanam

Prizes worth Rs.30000 to be won.

Think you may have an idea that could tomorrow, revolutionalize technology? Your hypothesis could turn the cogs of science and technology and burgeon into a colossal reality. Pragyan ’08 provides you a platform to showcase your plans for the world and have them analyzed by eminent academicians and professionals in various technical fields.

Anveshanam, the paper presentation contest covers all streams of engineering, which have been broadly categorized under five clusters. Undergraduate and Graduate students of all streams of engineering, along with those pursuing their degrees in Computer applications (BCA and MCA) are invited to send in their research papers.

Event Details

The contest enables students from all streams of engineering to present their ideas either in the form of a paper which they will present in front of an elite panel of judges. The various streams have been broadly classified in to:

Building Science
Chemical and Material Sciences
Computer Sciences
Electrical Sciences
Mechanical Sciences and Production Technology

Note: Papers on topics other than those mentioned in each section are also welcome, if they come under the purview of the streams mentioned above.
