This has been started in order to program to recognize
and encourage creative and innovative talent of youngsters
pursuing Science. The project carried out as part of
this application should be based on novel and innovative
ideas. The project can be experimental or theoretical
in nature. However, the project must show that the applicant
is creative and adventurous, and ready to explore. The
project should not merely reflect use of certain techniques
or reporting of routine experimentation improvement
of an existing product or a technique may be accepted
provided such improvement involves original ideas and
creativity. One may try to incorporate some addition
to the design or practical implementation that improves
an existing technique. The main criteria that would
be followed for selection for the interview would be
originality and innovation. Only after these criteria
are met, the level of sophistication and the nature
of the project would be taken into consideration.
