Initial Screening of Engineering College Teams: Concept synopses based on social problems and related Engineering solutions are invited from engineering college teams for pre-screening by the jury.

First-round jury process: The jury will evaluate the registered projects and approaches taken by students and select the top 37 or top 30 depending upon location. These projects will go on to implement their ideas and demonstrate.

Screening, selection of Synopsis, and identifying mentees: Once selected the teams are asked to contact local schools with underprivileged status and to form teams with school students. They plan, design, and make the models while collaborating and mentoring the school students.

Model Creation and Quality Check by the Agastya team: Students will create knowledge networks between themselves, their peers, and with external resource persons to create conceptual and methodological frameworks to create the models. Here, Agastya teams along with assigned senior resource persons (senior educators, engineers, etc.) will visit the colleges to assist the teams conceptually and in the making of the models while providing inputs including scientific and technological inputs. One of the main reasons for these visits is to ensure the quality of the collaboration and teaching-mentoring-learning outcomes.

Conceptual - Technological advice from Agastya: Agastya will also help the teams to establish links between prominent institutions like the Indian Institute of Science, Institution of Engineers, Indian Institute of Technology etc. – in case they need any technological or conceptual inputs.

Anveshana Fair begins: The models thus made will be exhibited in the Anveshana Science and Engineering fair where the teams will be presenting the same in front of an expert Jury for Judgement. During the fair, students display their research projects and working models and present their findings orally and through written journals to the Jury (mostly a team of scientists and educators). The judging process involves a series of interactions on the concepts, methodology, and objectives of the projects done by the students.

Delegates attending the fair: After the judging process students from various schools and delegates representing various institutions are also expected to attend the fair. Delegates attending the event will include scientists and educators from a large number of institutions across the state

Prizes will be awarded at a valedictory function – towards the end of the fair
