There will be 100 interns divided into 20 teams who will participate in this competition.
They will get access to a 3D platform on cloud powered by brand applications like CATIA, SIMULIA, DELMIA, ENOVIA, BIOVIA, NETVIBES and dedicated training sessions from the design and simulation experts.
The winners will be offered paid internships for 6 months at IIT Ropar which they can do as per their academic schedule and convenience.
They will also be offered travel and stay at IIT Ropar to explore the possibilities of future collaboration with the mentor faculty members.
Eligibility Criteria
Students in the second, third or fourth year of engineering under graduation or equivalent program from any engineering institute, college or university, with specialization in streams like Aerospace, Computer Science and Engineering, Chemical, Mechanical, Production, Metallurgy, Materials, Civil Engineering and more, are eligible for participation.
AWaDH will be constituting interdisciplinary teams of interns and assign them to work on special projects.
Further, the top 5 out of 10 winning teams would be supported with a seed grant for running a start-up.
