  2. Submit us a report saying how you are going to do it, and after selection, you can start working on the circuit practically.

  3. i am from bonam venkata chalamaya engineering college A.P.
    i am not able to register in the site, can you tell my college roll number , it is not found any where in the site

    ReplyDelete
  4. College Roll No. refers to your Roll No. in your college.

  5. can i use ready made logic gates, counters ,flip flops for designing the circuit???

    ReplyDelete
  6. Yes. Definitely. But lower the level of IC used, there will be more room for points. By lower level I mean, by making a counter using just flip flops, you might get more points than using a direct counter IC.

  7. can we use cpld , vhdl code...?

  8. can we use ready made rf modules or we need to build it..?

    ReplyDelete
  9. No programmable devices are allowed. You can use a ready made rf module, but you will have to meet the constraint of transmitting the 4-8 bit code.

  10. rfid tags are normally short ranged and too costly to built..what we should do then..

    ReplyDelete
  11. how may times can we resend the report before the last date, can we send multiple no of reports so the best is selected

    ReplyDelete
  12. @rpsuman, you can go for RF Rx-Tx combination, i.e. both the circuits powered instead of having an arrangement like RFID. There is no constraint in this, you can choose whichever you like.

    @dhanush, you can send your report as many times as you want before the deadline, but only the LAST one sent will be considered for evaluation.

  13. What is the deadline of abstract submission? Is it 27th sept or 4th august? What is the difference between report and TDP?

    ReplyDelete
  14. What is the exact date of the event?

    ReplyDelete
  15. The deadline is 27th of August. We wanted you to submit a report only, but since we reduced the deadline, we made a template of report, which is the TDP template. You just need the fill up and submit the TDP only, by 27th of august.

  23. is innovative module compulsory after mentioning it in the abstract.

    ReplyDelete
  24. @Bharath: Yes, that will be good.
    @Chaitanya: Once you mention in the report, you should try to implement it in the final circuit as that might have counted for your selection into finals.
