Guidelines for Oral (PowerPoint) Presentation
The presenters should ideally have 8-10 slides (including the Title and thank you slides) so that they are able to complete the presentations withing the given time (7 minutes).
If slide number increases then also, they should try to complete the presentation withing given time (7 minutes).
To qualify for the awards the presenters must give their presentation in front of the jury members/assessors at the allotted time slot (The time slot will be communicated through email).
Total duration for each presentation is fixed at 09-10 minutes, which includes power point presentation for 7 minutes followed by question/answer by the jury members and audience for 2-3 minutes.
Since there are so many presentations to be completed in the given time period, strict adherence of presentation duration will be enforced and presentations will be stopped at the end of 7 minutes, and question /answer will begin.
If presenter continues and takes excess time, the marks will be deducted from the final score.
Thus, the presenters are requested to practice their presentations beforehand and ensure time adherence.
