As a part of the Eleventh IEEE Annual Symposium - 2002 Student Paper Contests will also be held as detailed below. The objective is to encourage and promote excellence and competition among students so that they will be ready to take up challenging tasks after the graduation.

Eligibility: The Contest is open to all engineering (both IEEE members and non-members) students enrolled in B.E/B.Tech (for UG) and M.E/M.Tech/M.Sc(Engg) (for PG) programs. The technical paper should be in the general areas of Electrical, Electronics, Instrumentation, Communication and Computer Engineering.

The Prize: For both UG and PG contests there will be two prizes (first and second) each.

First Prize : Rs. 6000/ Second Prize: Rs. 4000/

Procedure: In the undergraduate category, the technical paper should contain description of original work by the student/students with or without collaboration. It could also be an expository paper on a topic of current interest. Not more than 3 students should author each contribution. In the postgraduate category, the paper should contain description of original research work and should be authored strictly by one student. Students who have recently left an institution after completion of their course of study in 2001-2002 are also eligible to participate in the contest.

Format: The technical paper should start with a title page consisting of (i) Title of paper, (ii) Name(s) of Author(s), Address(es), and (iii) An abstract of about 100 words. The body of the paper following the title page should be divided into sections like, introduction, main body, conclusions, etc. The paper should end with a list of references generally following IEEE transactions style. The paper should be typewritten in one and a half line space on one side on A4 size paper and should not exceed 10 pages inclusive of diagrams and pictures. Diagrams, if any, should contain captions. The manuscript should be accompanied by Self-declaration by author(s) that: "I/We declare that this paper has been completely compiled and prepared by me/us". A letter from the Head of the Department/Principal, certifying that the participant(s) is/was/are/were student(s) of the institution during the academic year 2001-2002.

Submission: Submitted papers will be short-listed based on merit and the authors are required to register and make oral presentation in the Annual Symposium. The short listed papers will be also published in the symposium proceedings. The prize-winning papers will be selected at the Symposium based on the quality of the technical content as well the oral presentation in the Annual Symposium. Three copies of the manuscript (full paper) should be sent to the following address and should reach by 15 September, 2002:

Prof. A. Selvarajan, Department of ECE, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore 560012.
