InApp - IEEE CS Student Project Awards

The InApp Student Project Awards, previously organized in collaboration with CSI, have partnered with the IEEE Computer Society Kerala Chapter to celebrate outstanding student achievements in software development across India. This award offers an engaging, supportive platform for teams to present fully realized projects that address real‑world challenges. Each submission is carefully evaluated by a panel of industry experts, ensuring that outstanding technical rigor, inventive thinking, and real‑world impact receive the spotlight they deserve. More than a ceremony, the award empowers the next generation of technocrats to push their limits, collaborate across disciplines, and emerge as future leaders.

IEEE Computer Society

The IEEE Computer Society (CS) Kerala Chapter, founded in 1985, is the world’s largest Computer Society Chapter, with 48 Student Branch Chapters and over 2,400 members as of 2025. Renowned for encouraging innovation in computer science and engineering, it organizes flagship events like AKCSSC and AICSSYC-23.

Its success is powered by dedicated volunteers whose leadership has earned recognitions such as the IEEE CS (Global) Outstanding Chapter Award (2018), Early Career Professionals Engagement Award (2022), and the IEEE Kerala Section’s Outstanding Large Society Chapter Award (2023). With a commitment to excellence, the Chapter inspires collaboration and meaningful change in technology.

This year’s edition marks a significant milestone for the Awards, with a new partnership formed with the IEEE Computer Society Kerala Chapter. Building on the success of previous editions, the InApp - IEEE CS Student Project Awards continues the mission to celebrate and nurture the talent of aspiring technocrats.
