The key takeaways are about submitting Proof of Concepts (PoCs) for solutions developed to address problems identified. PoCs will be evaluated based on various criteria and can address different themes.

The different types of PoCs that can be submitted are: introduction of new or improved services, introduction of new method of production/process, opening of new market, exploration of a new source & supply, and reengineering/organization of business management process.

The criteria used to evaluate the PoCs are: relevance and validation of problem & solution, feasibility of solution, applicability of solution. PoCs need to score a minimum of 25 to be considered for the next level.

Important Note:

 IIC-institute and members are requested to disseminate and encourage students to take part
in submission of PoCs for the solutions developed for the problem encountered/identified
by students during their visits to Society, market industry etc.
 Please note that, submissions of solutions or PoCs developed for the problems for various
programs such as SIH, internal Hackathons and other campus hackathons/competitions can
be considered.
 Ideas submitted at Ideation Stage with minimum score of 25 or above (as per the evaluation
criteria provided to evaluate ideas) can be considered for PoC level participation. i.e. IIC-
Institute can upgrade/select the ideas for POC level.
 If any interested students’ teams have not participated at Idea Level, still they can
participate. If student team have developed PoC and want to participate directly at PoC level
can submit their Solution/PoC directly at PoC stage. (Both Idea and PoC submission portal
will remain open till May 2020). i.e. IIC-Institute can accept entries directly at POC stage
if any team missed submission at Idea stage.
 PoC may be technical and (or) non-technical solution of an Idea and can be fit into any one
or multiple themes and also can be fit into different PoC types (as given in evaluation page).
 IIC Institute need to organize PoC validation workshop for participants and evaluate the
PoCs received.
 No limit on number of PoCs and student teams and team size. No gender reservation but
gender balance is encouraged.
 All PoCs need to be carefully evaluated by committee setup by IIC Institute for next level of
hand holding and support through IC institute. IIC Institute should consider external experts
of IIC – Institute and (or) member’s representation incubation and startup in the committee
to evaluate.
 Above evaluation criteria can be used to evaluation and PoCs and Pocs which receives a
minimum score of 25 or above can be considered for next level (Prototype/innovation
level).
 At the end, the detail of PoCs received with evaluation score allocated to each POC need to
be uploaded in the link named as Innovation Contest tab on portal.
 PoC Validation workshop can be reported as MIC driven activity in IIC portal and eligible to
obtain certain reward points for it.
