Eligibility to enter the contest must be supported by a letter from the Student Branch Counselor and submitting the paper through the Student Activities Chair of the Section or the Section Chair, copy to R10 SAC.

Undergraduate Section (UG)

Open to IEEE Student Members undergoing an undergraduate course in electrical engineering, electronics, computer science or allied subjects. Eligibility to enter the contest must be supported by a letter from the Student Branch Counselor and submitting the paper through the Student Activities Chair of the Section or the Section Chair, copy to R10 SAC.

 

CONTEST RULES

1. ELIGIBILITY
