The Association of CSE is organizing an Idea Pitching Competition, “Idea Pitch – An Innovative Solutions Challenge,” on 17th August2026. This event provides a platform for students to research a pressing social issue and pitch an innovative, practical solution to it.

All interested students are encouraged to participate and make the most of this opportunity to showcase their innovative thinking and problem-solving skills!

Event Overview & Timeline

Competition Structure

Evaluation Criteria

The judging panel will score presentations based on four core pillars:

• Creativity: Originality of thought and approach.
• Feasibility: Practicality and realistic implementation potential.
• Innovation: Advanced or clever use of modern problem-solving methods.
• Social Impact: The depth and scale of positive change the solution offers.
