Selection Criteria

 All submitted entries are judged by the Selection Committee based on the following selection criteria:

i) Project Objective ii) Innovativeness iii) Originality

The number of shortlisted entries varies from year to year and is determined by the Selection Committee.

Semi-final Round

The semi-final is followed by the President’s Cup Project Exhibition, which is open to public and usually held on campus in March. Each project is designated a booth for presentation in the form of a poster exhibition along with onsite demonstration of the new invention or display of any project deliverables, such as models, photographs, leaflets, booklets, etc. Semi-finalists must be readily available at a scheduled time for direct communication with the Selection Comittee.

Based on evaluations of both the final report and the project exhibition, the Selection Committee would determine which projects to proceed to the final round.

Final Round

The final round is an oral presentation usually scheduled in April. Finalists are required to give a 15-minute oral presentation followed by a Q & A session for Selection Committee members to ask questions.

Selection Committee would deliberate at a scheduled meeting after the final round to determine the winners.
