The Best Project Award Competition 2024 concluded last Saturday, showcasing an impressive array of Capstone Projects from nine outstanding students. This year's finalists were evaluated by a distinguished panel of judges comprising faculty members and industry leaders:

Each student participant was given 15 minutes to present their project, demonstrate its capabilities, and answer questions from the panel. The judges were impressed by the depth of the students' background research, the breadth of their design and methodology, as well as the excellent implementation and evaluation of the projects. The students also displayed remarkable presentation skills throughout the competition.
After careful deliberation, the judges selected the award recipients. In addition to the prestigious Best Project Awards, two contestants were also chosen to receive the InfoTech Job Market Driven Scholarship, which recognised the relevance and quality of their projects in adopting in-demand skills sought by the IT industry.
We are delighted to honour these exceptional students and their innovative Capstone Projects. Congratulations to all the awardees on this remarkable achievement!
