Sparkathon

Sparkathon is the college's idea-pitching competition, held at the end of the academic year and organised under Ratan Tata Maharashtra State Skills University. Teams work from industry-defined problem statements through ideation, a hands-on build phase and a live pitch to a judging panel.

What you get

• Mentorship sessions and bootcamps, with working engineers guiding teams through the build.
• Access to campus workshops, electronics labs and fabrication equipment during the event.
• Prizes and recognition, and for the strongest performers, fast-track referrals to recruiter networks.
• The college states that selected teams get incubation support, seed backing, certificates and industry interaction through the MSSU i-Spark Foundation ecosystem rather than from the college itself.

Who can apply

• Students in their second year and above. Teams are formed across engineering branches.

How selection works: teams demonstrate a working prototype and pitch it to a panel of engineers, faculty and industry judges, and top teams are recognised at an awards ceremony.

How to apply: the college does not publish a registration route for Sparkathon. Students should ask the Startup & Innovation Cell coordinator on campus; general enquiries go to info@icoe.ac.in.
