What is Paper-a-thon
A research marathon,
one paper at a time.
Teams pick a track, write a research paper, and — if shortlisted — defend it live in front of a jury at the Seminar Hall. It's where ideas get sharpened into arguments, and arguments into publications.
Exciting prizes for winners
Cash prizes, goodies and certificates for the top papers — and bragging rights for the year.
Opportunity to publish
Standout papers get mentoring and a real shot at publication. Your research doesn't end on stage.
Open to everyone
Any year, any branch. If you're curious and can put an idea on paper, there's a seat for you.
