Do you have an incredible thought that has social effect and is pertinent to Pakistan? Well then you have to pick up the pace and submit your proposal to the third yearly Best IT Innovation Awards (BITA).

Composed by COMSATS and co-supported by NTS, the honors are a stage to recognize and backing imaginative and inventive thoughts in the field of Information Technology.

The grants are isolated into two classifications.

For the scholarly world, all understudies and employees of Pakistani nationalities who are mulling over in any open or private college are qualified.

For the business, any full time or independently employed individual from an enlisted organization in Pakistan is qualified.

At the very least, they must have a verification of idea or model that has incredible social effect, is important to the needs of Pakistan and helps fundamentally to the IT field.

The winner of the BITA award will get 1 million PKR to take his or her idea further. All ideas will be judged across three broad categories: completeness, technical merit and relevance. We should mention that if your project or proposal has already received funding from any other national or international agency, you are not eligible for BITA.
