Following the first round of screening, teams will be shortlisted to convert their ideas into applications/solutions
using the platform proposed during submission. Hardware kits will be shipped to the selected teams.
Stage-2 : Implementation
Stage 1: After stage-1 submission, 10 teams will be selected from each category/platform, that is, 10 kits from
each category (NXP, Microchip, TI) for a total of 30 kits
Stage 2: 5 Best projects from each category will be selected to present at the VLSID Conference (for a total
of 15 teams)
Award: 3 total awards (1 best award from each category). A prize money of Rs. 25,000 will be awarded for
each category.
