Spot Registration
Rs. 600/-
* Please Note:
1. If more than two teams per institute apply, depending upon the space constraints, earlier two teams will be accepted and remaining teams may not be accepted. Therefore getting a temporary enrollment number doesn't ensure a participation.
2. The redundant teams will get their reimbursement in the form of an A/C payee cheque.
3. The registration for both quiz and symposium may be closed earlier if more than the acceptable number of teams enroll. In such case the early teams (who complete all the formalities) will be given priority.
4. For this competition we are allowing ONLY representations from institutes who can send their bonafide students, each institute two team (each team of 2 members). Organizations which are not educational institutes at this time we are NOT entertaining for participation as it may lead to confusion as there will be so many such organizations which may like to send representations. We accept only students of the same institute as members in a team; mixing of students from two different institutes in a team is NOT allowed.
5. If you have registered for the Quiz only, you are free to attend the plenary session and symposium. But cetificates will be issued ONLY for the participation in the quiz. If you want a certificate of participation to be issued for attending the Plenary session and Symposium separately, an additional registration fee will have to be paid.
