All the participants will be given Certificates of Participation by the university. In addition to it, if selected at the national level, then the winning entries will be awarded very attractive cash prize also.

The submitted App will be first screened at the university level by a team of experts and then the shortlisted Apps/ proposals will be submitted to the ministry’s portal.
