both within the industry and outside.
Separate awards were given in the following areas
like Consumer Electronics, Computer and Related Products, Instrumentation
and Industrial Electronics, Professional Electronics, Electronics

The award for Excellence in ‘Human Resource Development in Electronics’
was open only for the best run institution ‘O’ and ‘A’ levels
in the DOFACC Scheme.
The qualifying criteria for consideration of
the Awards depended on the last three years performance. The overall
performance was measured through quantitative and qualitative
parameters. For each category, there were two prizes. Sectorwise
committees examined and evaluated the nominations received in
different sectors for the Awards. All the committees are chaired
by an eminent person from the industry or research institute.
Most of the members of the committees are also from the industry.
