Submission Guidelines and Evaluation Criteria

Submission: You/your team(s) need to upload the submissions via this Google Form link (URL: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfQ80DvpTbpMgx9Xx6E4Dey1J4ryDkunQRLUROOgOdpiASaKQ/viewform). Details on how to submit will also be sent. The total attachments should be capped at a max of 50 MB per team.
The submission is a two-step process (a) submit a map/maps and (b) submit a one-page document about your map. Both can be combined on one page as given in the example here.
a) Map submission:

  • For your problem statement, access relevant ISRO data (for help, you can view the videos on accessing ISRO data, also available in Resources).
  • Make the maps for your study area (study area boundaries can be accessed from our database in Resources
  • ).
  • If you have any questions on using GIS, you may refer to our basic materials here
  •  or use any other open-source software materials.
  • While preparing the maps:
  • Make sure to add a title to the map.
  • Make sure to add legends to the map along with a North arrow.
  • Make sure to add your details on the map (e.g., like in a text box).
  • Since we will be archiving and promoting these maps for public use in FOSSEE

 and RuDRA

  • , please add details so that anyone interested may contact you regarding the map (e.g., email, name). This will give more visibility to your work.
  • You can submit any number of maps, as long as your total submission is within 100 MB.
  • Please submit your maps in JPG or PDF format only.

 
b) One-page document (Report):

  • Please add a paragraph on the methodology (which can include, but not be limited to):
  • Mention the ISRO data used.
  • Specific steps in GIS.
  • Complexities, if any involved.
  • Please add a paragraph on the application and use of these maps.

A model submission can be obtained here, and you can find the same template here.
NOTE:

  • Please note that you can submit and edit your submission until the last date of Submission (15 July 2025).
  • If you have not received a registration number/link, send us an email with your registration details to mohamedkasim@iitb.ac.in.
