If the Final Year project done by a team of students is such that: 1. The industry or other users who gave the challenge start using the solutions; 2. The technology got transferred to the industry or other industries through transfer of IP or as open source technology; 3. The team takes the innovation ahead to build a concrete product, bench-marked and tested by a competent authority; 4. The team initiates a start-up, based on their IDP/UDP, either while studying or soon after they graduate; 5. The team gets national or other recognition, awards, investment support, resource support, publication in a reputed journal/conference; 6. The team/ mentor industry files a patent with genuine novelty, the team will be given an Award by GTU for the outstanding project. (Every such project will be evaluated through proper indicators in any of the above 6 cases for the Award.) Wherever feasible the students have to demonstrate a proof of prototypes/working model during the final examinations. Each team has to keep all their progress documented while working on the project. IMPORTANT: The following entities must not be used as industries for IDPs: 1. Businesses or industries having no concrete product/service delivery track record, 2. Institutes, which are mainly in the business of giving training or providing coaching on various technical skills within or outside syllabus , 3. Vendors/Institutes which make prototypes of various concepts and demonstrate to students as a part of training to serve their academic needs. Such projects will not be accepted by concerned department even if the business/industry/institute is a registered unit. GTU welcomes the involvement of genuine industries with the Colleges/ Institutions/ Polytechnics. However businesses, which sell ready-made projects to students and which make it possible for a student not to apply his own mind and hands for working on the project must be avoided as a plague for technical education
