Last year, the competition had received 457 ideas.This year, the app camp has four categories -- utilities, health, tourism, and games and entertainment. Utilities had received the highest applications with 290 app ideas, followed by Tourism (153 ideas), Health (147 ideas), and Games and Entertainment (138 ideas).
The submitted ideas will be reviewed and evaluated by a selection committee on the basis of four criteria - importance of problem the app aims to solve, business potential, global scalability, and articulation and presentation, a press release issued by Ncell said.
The top 150 selected teams will be announced on Wednesday.
"The selected teams will then participate in seminars and training sessions in November to acquire sound knowledge on the practices of app making and comprehend key points to convert their app into a real business. Various national and international experts will impart knowledge on different aspects of mobile app making, business development, idea pitching and presentation techniques, that will help them further refine their ideas and come up with a Minimum Viable Product (MVP)," the release added
Once the teams submit their MVP, six best ideas from each category - that is 24 teams in total - will be selected for the final competition. The category winners will win a cash prize of Rs 250,000 each while grand winner will take home an additional Rs 500,000 in cash along with Ncell sponsorship to participate in a similar overseas app camp in 2016.
