IEEE Bangalore Chapter ComSoc Cup:

The IEEE communications society Bangalore chapter communications cup (ComCup) is an annually held competition that encourages and facilitates teams of students from all over India to work together toward solving real-world problems using communication engineering techniques. Each year, final teams are chosen to present their working prototype during the flagship conference of the IEEE communications society Bangalore chapter to compete for attractive sets of prizes.*

1. Team formation and eligibility:
To participate in the ComCup competition, each team should comprise of utmost 4 members, with one faculty member from a university as a mentor and one professional member from
the industry as an (optional) advisor. The members can be undergraduate students, graduate students, professional members who have graduated not more than 2 years back, or a mixture of these
indicated. All the team members have to be either regular or student members of the IEEE Communications Society, which should be valid till the end of the announcement of results. A
participant cannot be on more than one team. Gender inclusivity among the members is mandatory.

2. Duration of the competition and various phases:
ComCup will be held in four phases, namely phase 1, phase 2, phase 3, and phase 4. In phase 1, each group is expected to create a short video presentation describing the problem statement,
proposed methodology, and expected outcomes. In phase 2, each group is expected to make a presentation of the solution, design of the prototype, and implementation details which is followed
by a Q&A session. In phase 3, more implementation details, a short video of the working prototype, results and discussion, and a succinct report have to be submitted for the final review.
Phase 4 will be an in-person event, where each team is expected to show a working prototype and is expected to submit the full draft of the research paper in ready-to-be-submitted form.
Commercialization and patent-related details can also be presented.

3. Prize for the finalists:
All the teams that successfully complete Phase 3 will be invited to participate in the IEEE Bangalore flagship conference CONECCT 2023 for the Phase 4 evaluation. The winners will be given a
slot to present the work and demo in a special session. The winners will be invited to join the conference with complimentary registration, which gives them a unique opportunity to interact
with ComSoc technical leaders and experts.
