Higher Education Commission (HEC) in collaboration with Microsoft will bring `Microsoft’s Imagine Cup’, the premium student technology competition, to Pakistan soon.
Microsoft’s Imagine Cup is happening in Pakistan for more than a decade now. It is an incredible opportunity for the youth of Pakistan to participate and utilize their potential and passion towards creating technological solutions, their final year projects and compete to win $100,000.
HEC IT Director Anwar Amjad said during both national and international levels, the evaluations will be made on the basis of deliverables submitted on Imagine Cup site. The requirements are: Project title, description, proposal, software, software instructions and video One Drive URL.
The teams will first compete at the regional level and then the winning teams will qualify for national level. A mix of judges from both academia (as directed by HEC) and industry evaluates the solutions during both rounds, he added. Technology will be the primary judging criteria. Regional & National finals detailed per team plan and relative winner’s announcements will be made on official MSDN Pakistan Community blog.
