IDP stands for Industry Defined Problem. IDP is, in real terms, applied engineering. As the name suggests, IDP aims to bridge the gap
between theory and practical application by challenging engineers to
come up with innovative and creative solutions to crucial real life
industrial problems. The problem could be anything from a key step in
the manufacture of a chemical compound or finding a use for left-over
industrial waste. The participants would be given sufficient time to
come up with a practical solution for the same. Thus the industry
which gives us the problem statement gets a solution and in turn it
sponsors the prize money for the event.
There will be two rounds in this event. The participant has to first
give a presentation on his solution to the IDP. A participant will be
given 10 minutes for his/her presentation. The next round will be an
On-The-Spot problem solving round wherein a problem will be given on
the spot to the participants and they have to come up with a solution
within a stipulated time.
