Objective
The IT BHU Global Alumni Association aims to support student research. The first step in that direction has by creating an annual reward for one student who has published maximum number of papers in a given academic year.

Support mechanism

The scholarship will be started with the initial grant from Mr. Revanth Babu Mutyala (CHE 2001). The number of scholarships and / or the amount of money may be increased as more funding becomes available from other alumni or agencies.

• Rules and Regulations

  • 1. The student who scores maximum number of points will be awarded a sum of Rs.5000.
    
    2. The order of precedence and the number of points per publication/presentation are determined based on the place as follows

    • International journal - 10
    • International conference*/Annual meeting of an international society - 9
    • National journal - 8
    • National conference/Annual meeting of a national society - 7
    • Student conferences (like Technex/Magnum Opus) - 5

    3. The number of points will be determined by a sum of all the publications / presentations.
    
    4. If there is a tie, the student who has maximum points according to the order of precedence will be awarded. For example, A has published in 1 international journal and 1 national journal, while B has presented in two international conferences; both have 18 points, but the scholarship goes to A.
    
    5. Presentation implies oral presentation. Demonstrations, posters will be scored as publication/presentation minus 1 point.
    
    6. The order of the authors in a publication is not a criterion. If two or more students are involved in the publication all the students will be considered for scoring. In case of a presentation the presenter will be considered for scoring. The rest of the student authors will be awarded main presenter minus 2 points.
    
    7. Same subject matter published/presented at multiple locations will not be taken into consideration. The student can determine which publication/presentation should be taken into consideration. If there is a significant development after the first publication/ presentation, please submit both the publications/presentations for consideration.
    
    The Award committee will decide which is taken into final scoring.
    
    8. GPA is not a qualification and/or rate of measure for this award. All the decisions are made by the award committee and are final.
    
    

    * - Even though the name suggests that the conference is international, the points are decided based on the Affiliated Association(s)/sponsor(s), number of attendees, number of presenters, location of conference, chair person(s) of the conference, etc. The decision of award committee on the merit of a venue will be final.
