The Concept




As it is a well-known fact that, in the world of growing competition, soft-skills and presentation capabilities play a major role in a person’s success. To encourage and cultivate these qualities in engineering students, the culture of presenting technical papers has been introduced in the form of technical fests, etc. But, as it has been observed, the First year students hesitate to participate in such activities because of their lack of exposure and the phobia of a new environment.

Hence students of First Year undergraduates are most often, not given enough chances to expose their hidden talents. AVISHKAR realizes this aspect keenly and hence focuses only on offering the B.Tech 1st years a unique opportunity to shed their inhibitions and put forward their talents and interests before a known audience. It helps them enhance their presentation skills, communication skills and managerial skills. That way they’re encouraged to get rid of their hidden stage-fear and come out as confident individuals.


Right from the very first year of his/her professional course, the student gets the opportunity to speak up on a particular topic in front of a judging panel and a live audience. As this is a never-before experience for them, most students are eager to participate in the contest. As this is a new and first of its kind opportunity that they get, prior to the conduction of the activity, the participants are briefed on the standards and formats of making a power-point presentation, and given suggestions ranging from the type of slide, to the fonts and colors applied in it. They are also trained on the rules and regulations to be followed in the making of an abstract for a technical paper, in a similar pattern.


IEEE-VBIT SB is the first one to introduce such an activity especially for the first year undergraduates so as to motivate, encourage and inspire them to be confident and bold professionals. The uniqueness of this activity has thereby won laurels that widely acknowledge, support and appreciate the cause and purpose of the activity.
