• You may submit your abstract in either PDF or Word format. Kindly ensure that it includes the following essential details: title, abstract (not more than 250 words), keywords, complete name, and full institutional affiliation (university or college).
• The student making the submission is wholly responsible for the accuracy of the information provided. Submissions will be printed as received; hence, changing the title of the research during the presentation is strongly discouraged. Please indicate the name of the university where you are currently enrolled or where the study was conducted.
• Each submission must clearly identify the presenting author(s) in the manuscript, and presenter/s must register individually. To ensure seamless and time-bound sessions, as well as adequate review by the evaluators, student presenters will be required to submit a recorded presentation. The maximum time allotment, along with detailed presentation guidelines, will be communicated in the notice of acceptance. A live Q&A will follow after the paper presentations.

Students who wish to be considered for the Best Paper Award in each strand, as well as for possible publication in the Innovative Technology and Management Journal of the university, are required to submit their full paper at the time of abstract submission.

Each paper will undergo evaluation by three reviewers based on the following criteria:

1. Relevance to the field and/or to the theme of the Congress
2. Originality and significant contribution to existing knowledge
3. Clarity of ideas and expression
4. Depth of analysis and critical insight

Cancellations will not be accommodated. The Executive Committee strongly encourages all prospective participants and presenters to ensure their full commitment to attending the Congress.
