Event Information

EVENT OBJECTIVE:

The objective of this event is to test the skills of students in the field of microcontroller applications and their ability to design innovative solutions to real life problems.


EVENT STRUCTURE:
Round 1: Written test which will consist of objective as well as some subjective questions (which would require assembly level language coding) making a total of 40 questions, based on the following topics:
• Basics of Digital Electronics, Microcontrollers : AT89C51 , Basics of PIC microcontroller.
• Details regarding the duration of Round 1 would be disclosed at the time of the event. (This round would test the basics of the candidates and the time provided would be comparatively less.)
Round 2: Participants shortlisted from round one will be tested for their coding and logic skills. Participants will be given some problem statements wherein they have to code and perform the corresponding software simulation on the platform provided. Information/guidance regarding IDE’s will be given prior to the round.
• Coding for this round would be done only in C or embedded C language.
         (IDE would be uVision-Keil for 8051 based questions).
• Other details regarding the duration and rules will be disclosed at the time of event.
Round 3: Qualified candidates would be given a problem statement and they have to give an optimized solution with the software and hardware implementation in a given stipulated time. They will be provided with the Arduino microcontroller and its IDE. All the material will be provided by the organizers. Internet facility will also be provided.

RULES:
1. The event is open for undergraduate students only.
2. Participants are required to give correct contact details, so as to inform them about the event updates.
3. Participants must bring their College ID cards and receipt of registration during reporting.
4. Only 'C' and embedded ‘C’ language can be used for round 1 and 2.
5. For round 1, wherever mentioned the code must be written in Assembly language.
6. The decision of the judges and the organizers will be final.
7. The microcontroller and other hardware will be provided by the organizers.
8. The organizers have the right to change the above-mentioned rules without giving any prior notice (participants are requested to check the website for updates: www.mind-spark.org).
9. Registration at the first day of the event will be there but preference will be given to pre-registered teams.

ELIMINATION CRITERIA:
Students will be eliminated on the basis of MCQ results, their coding and logical skills(efficiency and accuracy) and their solutions to the problem statement given in the question.

TEAM AND FEE STRUCTURE:
Team size : Max 2 participants per team
Registration fee : ₹ 99 per team
Note : Registration Fee is Non-Refundable.

FAQs:
Q. What is the team structure?
A. A team may consist of minimum one and maximum two participants.
Q. Can I participate in other events at MindSpark’22?
A. Yes, you are allowed to participate in as many events at MindSpark’22 as long as you are able to manage your own schedule.
Q. Which languages can be used for programming the microcontroller?
A. The microcontroller can be programmed with “C” language.
Q. On which interface will the implementation take place?
A. The design is to be implemented on breadboard.
Q. Will the teams have access to microcontroller datasheet and user guide during design?
A. Yes, the teams will have access to microcontroller datasheet and user guide during 2nd and 3rd round of the competition. The teams will also have access to datasheets of other required components upon request.
