Author Guidelines
Follow these guidelines to prepare a clear, review-ready submission aligned with the Congress theme.
Submissions should address Applied AI for Sustainable Development within one or more of IEI’s fifteen engineering divisions. Clearly state the problem, the AI or computational approach, and the sustainability or developmental impact.
Limit the extended abstract to 1000 words. Include title, author names and affiliations, keywords, and a structured narrative (background, methods, key results, conclusions). Use a maximum of two figures or tables in total.
All submissions are reviewed for suitability for oral or poster presentation. Acceptance of the extended abstract does not replace the requirement to submit the full paper by the stated deadline.
Prepare the full paper as per the Guidelines for Authors and submit it with the IEI Declaration Form. Then email info@41iec.org, addressed to the Chairman, Technical Committee, 41st IEC, with the title of the paper, Paper ID and date of submission.
Selected full papers may be considered for publication in the appropriate series of the Journal of The Institution of Engineers (India), subject to the journal’s submission requirements and successful peer review. Authors are responsible for originality, permissions for figures, and adherence to ethical research standards.
At least one author of each accepted paper must register for the 41st IEC and present at the scheduled session. Papers without a registered presenting author may be withdrawn from the programme.
