Who Can Register/Participate: Intercollegiate teams are eligible. Interdisciplinary teams are permitted. Each team may have 1 or 2 participants. One participant cannot be in multiple teams.
Event Structure: The competition consists of two rounds:
Preliminary Round: A quiz with 35 questions, to be completed in 90 minutes. The team members may use any online meeting platform for discussions; however, only the registered team leader is authorized to submit the test. Calculators are allowed.
Final Round: Teams qualifying from the first round will be eligible for the final round.
Topics Covered: 2-port system and basic RLC circuits Op Amp with Negative feedback Op Amp Based Amplifiers(Inverting and Non-inverting) Op Based adders,Integrators and differentiators Schmitt trigger and its applications(ramp and PWM generation) Frequency Response Calculation of loop gain and Phase margin DC-DC converter Basic Idea of LT spice Basics of Analog circuits Preliminary Round
Single Correct Type: + 4 for Correct Answer, - 1 for Wrong Answer Numerical
Type: + 4 for Correct Answer, No marks will be deducted for Wrong Answer.
Event Guidelines: Details about the platform and access link for the quiz will be emailed to all registered participants 24 hours before the event. The final round will involve circuit simulations and circuit building which will be held in person at IIT Madras. Participants must bring their own laptops for the simulation round and present their solutions directly to the organizers.
Rules and Regulations: Ensure a stable internet connection and functional device (laptop/PC recommended). Tab-switching, communication, or use of external assistance and AI tools will result in immediate disqualification. Calculators are permitted, but the use of any simulation or programming tools is strictly prohibited. Participants must submit responses before the timer ends; late submissions will not be accepted. Participants are advised to regularly check the Unstop page for updates. Participants must strictly adhere to guidelines provided by coordinators. Basic etiquette should be observed in all interactions with organizers. In case of any disputes regarding answers or submissions, the coordinators' decision is final. Further information will be communicated via groups formed after registration.
