This event celebrates the hard work, creativity, and intellectual contributions of our students across a wide range of disciplines. Whether your research is theoretical, experimental, or applied, we invite you to be part of this inspiring showcase.

Participation Requirements

To participate in the competition, you must:

1. Enrollment Status: Be a current graduate student enrolled in a master’s or doctoral program at the time of submission.
2. Original Research: Submit original research work conducted during your graduate studies. Collaborative projects are welcome, but the lead presenter must be the participant. compete in a wide range of categories encompassing various subfield of computer science, engineering and informatics, including but not limited to:

• Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning
• Computer Architecture and Circuit Design
• Software Engineering and Development
• Data Science and Analytics
• Robotics and Autonomous Systems

3. Abstract Submission: Provide a 250-word abstract summarizing your research objectives, methodology, results, and significance by the specified deadline.
4. Presentation Format: Prepare a presentation in one of the following formats:

• Oral presentation (10 minutes, followed by a Q&A session).
• Poster presentation (48" x 36" poster with key findings and visuals).

Judging Standards

Submissions will be evaluated by a panel of distinguished faculty and industry experts based on the following criteria:

1. Research Quality: Rigor of methodology, depth of analysis, and originality of findings.
2. Significance: The impact of the research on the field of study and its broader implications.
3. Clarity: The ability to clearly and effectively communicate research objectives, processes, and outcomes to both experts and non-specialists.
4. Presentation: Quality of visual aids, engagement with the audience, and the presenter’s ability to address questions thoughtfully.
