About this event
Each year, the Scholar Awards Seminar-cum-Exhibition brings together the students, mentors, and evaluators who spent the year building real projects across ten tracks — from Artificial & Hybrid Intelligence to Rural Technologies and Healthcare Technologies.
Shortlisted teams presented their completed projects to FAER's evaluation panel, who reviewed technical execution, real-world impact, and the guidance each team received from their mentor along the way.
This year's awards
- First place: ₹1,00,000 (₹80,000 to the student team, ₹20,000 to their guide)
- Second place: ₹75,000 (₹60,000 to the team, ₹15,000 to their guide)
- Third place: ₹50,000 (₹40,000 to the team, ₹10,000 to their guide)
- All completed projects were eligible for up to ₹6,000 in project support reimbursement
Beyond the prizes, the exhibition gave every team — winners and finalists alike — a chance to demonstrate a year of real, hands-on work in front of an audience of peers, mentors, and the wider FAER community.
