Welcome to the real world; Full of flaws, bottlenecks and troubles everywhere. Burgeoning problems constantly bother today’s industry and innovators and research personnel are always at their toes to solve them, in their hot pursuit for pronouncing elegant answers to complex questions. A lot of money gets into research and product development, hunting for novel and creative solutions that cater to the ever-evolving industrial scenario.
In IDP, we give you the perfect podium to showcase that Einstein inside you, where you have to exhibit your engineering skills using the power of your grey cells. Innovation, with great deal of practicality is the central backbone of the event.
Over the past years, IDP has tapped raw and rattling solutions from the fresh engineering minds of the country. This year, the golden year of IITM, the event is getting its first major facelift, much bigger and better than all these years. Focus is on the future, the uncertain tomorrow. The problem statements will be more diverse, inter-disciplined and futuristic, seeking solutions that quench the quest for the skyrocketing demands of mankind.
This event comprises of two stages. Participants have to come up with a solution to at least one of the problem statements to qualify as a valid entry. A detailed report on the design should be mailed, before the fixed deadline. Solutions will be evaluated and the best will be short-listed for the finals, which will be held during Shaastra 08.
Finalists will be intimated well in advance and will have to present their solution, along with a supporting prototype, to a distinguished panel of judges. Though modeling isn't mandatory for any of the problems, it is strongly recommended that you do so, as prototypes are the best way to prove your concept really works.
The deadline for report submission is 5th September. The finalists will be declared on 10th September.
A team can have a maximum of three members.
Exciting summer internships and hefty prize money are in store!
