About award categories:
- Innovate to Impact awards: (i2i)
GTU Innovation Council has declared GIC i2i (Innovate to Impact) Award to recognize innovative projects of students across GTU affiliated colleges in Engineering, Polytechnic, Pharmacy, MCA, MBA and others. Students of Diploma, Degree, Masters and PhD program can nominate their innovations for this coveted award which will be given away on 14th February 2020 during GTU Innovation Sankul day. Student’s Projects which address an important social, technological problem faced by masses or disadvantaged people/sectors/spaces or micro and small enterprises or have the potential to impact a pressing national need may nominate themselves.
Note-1: Student innovations of past 2 years including this academic year can apply for this award online. Faculty guides can apply on behalf of the students, who have completed their studies, if they are not available in colleges.
Note-2: This year the nominated i2i projects will get an added advantage. Their projects may be evaluated and best 10 projects will be funded for prototype by GIC under the SSIP policy.
- Innovative Students’ Co-Creation Awards for Leadership and Excellence (i-SCALE):
i-SCALE have been awarded to recognize student-led initiatives in the fields of innovation, technology development, pedagogy, leadership, entrepreneurship and similar other endeavors. The Awards are not for discrete individuals. The Awards will be given to core team members who might have led such initiatives for a significant amount of time during their college time. The teams, whose members have graduated during the past two years at GTU, are also eligible for the Awards.
- Pedagogical Innovation Awards: (PIA)
The Pedagogical Innovation Awards are for recognizing the intervention in teaching- learning methodology at an individual and at an institutional level. We are trying to include all notable efforts, which have helped GTU Innovation Council in setting a new benchmark in the innovation ecosystems itself. We believe that by acknowledging such innovations adopted by you, these may be codified and documented. This will help scale up such initiatives all across state and beyond.
Learning from the innovative steps, adopted by you, will not only inspire more than 17,000 faculty members within GTU but thousands of them from all other universities across the nation as well.
Note: The winning entries of the past PIA awards will not be considered. They can rather nominate other suitable Faculty Members. However if a Faculty Member, who had won an Award earlier but has done something exceptional in new area during this year, this new work may be nominated for the award.
