Round 1 – SCREENING TEST :

• It will consist of multiple-choice questions. 

• The test can be taken only once by a team.

• Thirty questions are to be solved in 60 minutes.

• This round is eliminative.

Round 2 – CIRCUIT DEBUGGING:

• In this round, participants will be given a faulty circuit along with the expected output as an image. They are expected to simulate and debug the circuit and provide the correct output.

• A PDF file containing an image of the correct circuit and correct output should be submitted.

Round 3 – CIRCUIT DESIGN :

• Participants will be given a problem statement and virtual money for buying the components required.

• They are required to design and build a circuit with the virtual money.

• A list of the components will be given with its price marked against it.

• A PDF file containing the images of the circuit diagram and the output obtained should be submitted. Also, the simulation file must be attached along with the PDF.

AIM :

• The event is aimed at testing the students on their ability to apply their theoretical knowledge to practical circuits.

• It focuses on engineering students and professionals, building their own embedded system designs and circuits. 

• A team must comprise not more than 3 participants.

•  Prior registration on Pragyan’s website is required to participate.

• Simulation can be done in LTSPICE/PSPICE.

• The decision of the judges is final and binding.

Judging Criteria :

 For Round 2 (Debugging Circuit): 

• This round will have a time limit of 75 minutes +10 minutes additional time to upload the required files.

• Points will be given based on the following factors –

»    The closeness of the output with the required output,

»    Operation conditions, and

» The number of components used.

• If the team completes debugging in “t” minutes, then the team gets additional points of (75-t)*10.

• Virtual money = Base point + total additional points.

For Round 3 (Circuit Design):

• Points will be given based on the following factors -

  • The closeness of the output with the required output,

  • Operation conditions,

  • The number of components used, and

  • The virtual money left.

• If the circuit’s cost exceeds the virtual money, the submission will not be considered.

PROBLEM STATEMENT:

Sample Problem Statement for Round 3:

I am an X-dimensional body. I can see a point, I can see a line, I can see a square, but I can’t see a sphere. I am great because I have n sides such that n= smallest perfect number – sqrt(n). I am made of 2 sets of members: ones who meet and ones who don’t. The ones who meet have all their parameters alike. Find me!

Design a waveform generator using an op-amp that generates this waveform at X kHz.

FAQs:
