(DBIT), Kurla, Mumbai successfully organized the “First ever Online National Level
Paper Presentation Contest” in Mumbai University for B.E. students of Electronics

Mumbai and across the country. The entire contest was executed virtually within a
span of 20 days from registrations to payments, to presenting and evaluating student’s
projects. The project papers received from students underwent a blind review process
by a panel of highly qualified and well experienced professors. Six best papers per
branch were presented. The online contest proved to be cost effective enabling
participation by a wider audience on an all India and global level, saving a huge
amount of travel cost and time. DBIT is the first Institution in Mumbai University to

On the day of the event there were more than hundreds of viewers of the live
streaming of the presentation.
ENCORE’15 encourages new ideas and gives students a platform to share their ideas
and innovations across the globe through video conferencing, thus getting them
professionally toned for corporate careers.
