Inability to leverage available resources like SME’s or Library.
Poor time management.
Lack of subject knowledge.
Sub par presentation skills.
Ways to increase participation: Conducting a quick briefing about the organization and its subsidiaries.
The importance of such competitions can be better explained to the
students. For ex, an FMCG firm floats a marketing based competition, it is the tendency of finance or ops students to believe that it might not be relevant to their domain of interest.
Helping students realize the tremendous learning opportunities attached
with such competitions.
Incentivize students by giving them more recognition.
Send regular reminders and follow up emails about the competition.
Conduct workshops on time management.
Ways to improve Quality of Submissions:
For the first couple of competitions, we can have a quick in house
evaluation by the club/committee members.
Encourage students to conduct thorough research on the topic.
