Through a rigorous and challenging selection process, a distinguished panel of judges comprising of scientists and industry leaders will select 500 finalists (equally from each branch) from a nationwide pool of thousands, to attend the final round in Bangalore during April 2010. There will also be several awards and incentives for the finalists and their colleges. For details check the Awards page.

Taking part in the contest is free and open for all final year students of engineering and MCA, whose college is affiliated to AICTE and UGC in India. We are not asking a participant to do anything new here. The same project which a student executes as part of his/her engineering curriculum can be submitted for AIEPIC.

Registration is a two step process where in the participant needs to provide 1) General Details and 2) Personal Details. The first step is compulsory when a participant registers but has the option to skip the second step. A participant can always choose to edit his/her profile and add the left out details at a later date. The sooner a participant's profile gets completed, better are the chances of being noticed by other participants and industry experts.

Each team will consist of minimum one and maximum five members. Participants will have to submit one project at a given time. Participants can choose any number of mentors for their project. Mentors can be alumnus, industry professionals or any general person.

A team can change its members any time before the registration process gets closed. A participant can be a part of only one participating team in the contest. All the members of a team should be from the same college.

Two teams are permitted to work on similar project.

A participant is free to participate in inter disciplinary category (E.g. If a person is doing Electronics and Telecommunication, he/she can submit the project in other categories than Electronics and Telecommunication).
