NOVATE is the annual innovation challenge of Chitkara University. Each year we bring problems, which affect our lives and of those around us. We call upon thinkers, innovators, makers and implementers to find innovative solutions to the problems, so that we can make a small difference to somebody near us.
In NOVATE 2018 we identified various problems, which affected day-to-day environment of our University. In NOVATE 2018 we have divided the problems into two different verticals:
We require students, staff and faculty of Chitkara University (Himachal Pradesh), Chitkara University (Punjab) and Chitkara International School (Chandigarh) to team up to find never before, efficient, implementable and scalable solutions to these problems.
We recommend that teams be multidisciplinary in nature so that all aspects of the project are shaped up in a real manner. The solutions need to be thoughtful, innovative and finally showcased in front of jury of international repute.
Come join the innovation revolution “NOVATE 2019” at Chitkara University.
