Thanks for this, Shiv. Glanced through the PDF. Got 2 quick questions
1. Is this open only to Students?
2. Is a prototype a critical input to the competition or will just the concept, rough sketches and a plan of execution suffice?
Regards

1. Yes....and No.....will be the answer.....this can be participated by teams who may have just come out of colleges as well....A decision on qualification criteria can be made based on the team composition and background.....This has to be a team event.....more diverse the team better it is......
2. Prototype could even be a virtual prototype.......and concepts are welcome as well...if you have a concept...some one take up for development elasewhere....and an opportunity to collaborate......
Would this answer your question....
