Phase 2 : Announcement of Selected Abstracts

There is no cut-off for the number of teams that would be selected for the implementation round. Hence, Rekriti-2010 would follow a Progressive Result System. Within two days of receiving a team's abstract, we would be notifying to the concerned team its selection or disqualification. The selection of abstracts would be done by our expert panel of judges. The sooner a team sends its abstract, the better time it gets to implement its solution. But, no abstract would be entertained after January 8th 2010.

The complete and final list of selected abstracts would be announced on 12th January 2010.

Phase 3 : Display and explanation of implementations

Date: 5th February 2010 (Day 1 of Synapse)

The selected teams would showcase the implementations or prototypes of their solutions to our judges and to the audience in the form of an exhibition. The judging criteria would be based on the effectiveness of the working and the improvement made on available technologies.

Ten teams would be selected for the final round.

Phase 4 : Presentation of Ideas

Date: 6th February (2nd Day of Synapse)

The ten selected teams from Phase 3 would then present their ideas including approach, cost cutting measures, detailed working etc. The presentations of each team would be followed by questions from audience and judges.
