Please download the field you wanna work in the respective rar file. Unrar it, and go through it. It will definitely give you some kind of help to identify problems/products.
You can also take the help of Mr Amit Shukla our legal consultant in this context. His id is: amitshk.in@gmail.com, 92360013700. He will be available from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm. You can freely talk to him anytime.
But frankly speaking, these pages have not been referred for any of the ideas brought by students.
2. What could be an idea?
Ans: An idea could be a:
1. Process
2. Product
3. Design
4. Case study/srvey
5. A system or a part of it
6. Algorithm/approach/methodology
7. Application of an existing technology or modifying an existing application
Novelty is not a constraint. If anything is done in India or even IITK for the first time or even the hundredth time with a slight improvement is an idea. Even Edison failed thousands of times in his life.
3. How to present it?
Ans: When you come to any brain storming session, please do following things:
1. Identify any problem/product/process/application/utility/algorithm/methodology
2. Write the specifics of the problem you are facing
3. How do you think it can be cracked/solved?
5. Find out the positive and negative aspects of your analysis.
It is to remind that you are not the only person who is gonna solve the problem. Even if you are able to identify a problem, you have done with 30% of an idea. Rest of the 70% can be done by others. Even you can take help of others in understanding the problem better.
4. The homework needed before and after presenting the idea?
Ans: The homework before the session has been mentioned above.
After the session, make a report (as a team-effort, by 28th of Oct) as per this format:
Title
Key Words(max 15 words)
Abstract (max 100 words)
Problem Definition(200 words max)
Why this problem is valuable to solve: Economic Perspective (market, social impact, others), Technological perspective (the betterment in technology)
Current status
Prior solution attempts(max 200 words)
Your suggestions(max 200 words)
Solution
Potential applications of the solution
How will you achieve that solution: different work-modules/work-packages possible, roadmap of the work (including duration of each work-modules/work-packages), no of people required, applied skills, resources required
Potential associates: people and organizations with their addres
References
Your contact details
5. Am I going to take up a new idea and give up the others which I have been working so far? Or is it going to add a new burden to me?
Ans: You are identifying and developing an idea. In a very generic term, an idea can be divided in 4 stakes:
1. Problem identification- 30%
2. Solution- 30%
3. Sponsorship-30%
4. Organization which integrates all three- 10%
So, even if you have identified the problem, you can leave it at that stage. Our IPR policies have such positions to safeguard your idea. The idea can be carried forward by other people.
So, it is not going to add a new burden to you. Basically, you can identify at least one dozen problems every year but you can work on only 2 or 3. It doesn't mean that you should give up identifying problems. Anyhow, you are going to get incentives of you effort. So, why to give up making efforts.
6. Is my idea good enough to be presented? or Am I capable of presenting/developing a good idea?
Ans: There is nothing called a good idea or a bad idea. Firms like Microsoft has refused google, now google is a giant in itself. Similarly Xerox Corp. thought that software is not a big deal, but we know that what is the value of a software.
Similarly never feel demotivated or disgraced. You have the will power to withstand your idea and show the world that you are right. There comes your identity as a Human.
