DA-IICT Student Research Excellence Award
Objective:
To recognize and celebrate the achievement of the student-led original research that has resulted in publication at a reputed journal or a leading conference.
Award:
Award comprises a certificate plaque/medal and a cash prize of Rs. 5000. The award is presented by the Director annually (the day before the convocation ceremony each year) to the students who have published in top quality journals/conferences.
Eligibility Criteria:
All currently-enrolled DA-IICT students (UG and PG) and the graduated students who received their degrees in the previous academic year1 are eligible; specifically,
- The UG students (the BTech ICT, BTech ICT with CS, the BTech in Math and Computing (MnC) or BTech EVD programs) up to one year after the completion of the program (e.g. for the annual award 2024, the students of 2018-2022 batch, 2019-2023 batch, 2020-2024 batch, 2021-2025 batch, 2022-2026 batch and 2023-2027 batch are eligible).
- Full-time PG students (any of the Master's Degree (MTech, MSc, MDes) or the PhD degree) up to one year after the completion of the program or award of the degree in case of PhD students. (e.g. for the annual award 2024, the Masters students of 2020-2022 batch, 2021-2023 batch, 2022-2024 batch and 2023-2025 batch are eligible).
- The student will receive an award for each journal article (Q1 category journal, i.e., top 25 percentile category or referred to as A category journal) and each conference (A*, A or B category) article that he or she has published provided the student is the first author of the published article and the primary affiliation of the student in the published article is DA-IICT.
1 This provision allows the students to apply for this award even if their paper submission is still not accepted for publication at the time of their graduation, provided it is published within one year after their graduation.
Selection Criteria and Process:
- By the end of November of each year, the office of Dean Research shall send out a Google Form via email to all the UG/PG students of eligible batches and PhD students.
- The students will provide the information about all of their research publications during their entire degree program at DA-IICT. The form must be submitted by the deadline mentioned in the email from Dean Research’s office.
- The data collected in the Google Form is provided to the Resource Center for verification, specifically regarding the eligibility criteria (i) the student is the lead author with DAIICT affiliation, and (ii) the publication venue belongs to the A category of journals (Q1, i.e., top 25 percentile), and the A or the B categories for conferences.
- a. The Resource Center has prepared2 a list with ranking of journals and conferences for the year 2023/24 (this list will be updated periodically), where the journal rankings are based on Scimago Journal ranker, and conferences are ranked using the data published at Core.edu and Aminer.
- b. For the award eligibility, a journal paper has to be published at a journal with DA-IICT rank of A, and a conference paper has to be published at conferences with DA-IICT rank of either A or B.
- All the students who meet the aforementioned Eligibility Criteria will be selected for the DA-IICT Student Research Excellence Award.
- The applicants will be informed about the date and venue of the award ceremony via email at least two weeks before the day of presentations (by the office of Dean-Research).
- The list of selected candidates will be shared with the Registrar's office and award ceremony arrangements will be planned accordingly. In case a student can not attend the ceremony due to any unforeseen circumstances, he/she can contact the Registrar office and collect the award at a later date.
- Name of the recipients of the DA-IICT Student Research Excellence Award along with other information such as publication details and academic program will be forwarded to the webmaster for displaying/archiving (year-wise) on the Institute website.
2 This list will open only if a DA-IICT account is used when clicking the link.
