IEEE STUDENT CONGRESS
Mission
IEEE’s core purpose is to foster technological
innovation and excellence for the benefit of humanity.
Objectives
To empower and motivate the Branch counselors who
are the vital link between the changing student
leadership of a branch.
Region 10
 The IEEE student members are the leaders of tomorrow.
 As student members are associated to a particular student
branch, they are able to access the world’s most comprehensive
source of electrical, electronic and computer engineering
publications.
 Student members also benefit by networking with the members
and the industry leaders, gaining leadership experience and
developing interpersonal skills by getting involved in the local
and section activities.
 In order to consummate the IEEE’s goals, it is a necessity for the
sections to share the ideas and best practices among themselves
thus improving the functioning of their respective student
branches.
ABOUT ALL INDIA STUDENT CONGRESS
STUDENT CONGRESS
Make the counselor aware of the possibilities in front of them
Make a manual of activities that can be planned (Technical,
Professional, Social etc) for the branch
The importance of the branch counselor during the infancy of the
student branch
Financial management of the branch
Liaison with the local section
Fund raising tips
Conduct of effective meetings
Resolving a crisis, election process of the branch
Calendar of events for the student branch
Awards and recognition for the branches, students & counselors
MOTIVATING THE BRANCH COUNSELOR
Sections with 10 or more student branches can apply for this
project.
Two or three sections can jointly host the congress as well.
The proposal is to hold one/two day long meetings of the
branch counselors of the new and sick branches once every
year and the branch counselors of the active student branches
will be invited to share their experience.
WHO CAN ORGANISE THE STUDENT CONGRESS
Congress Theme
Reasons for Application
Desired Objectives other than stated in this announcement
Proposed Venue & Dates (should be before October 31)
Proposed Budget for Branch counselors congress (the Branch
counselor may be charged a very small amount to make sure
participation, otherwise need not be charged any registration
amount, The R10 support to the section level event would be
limited to US$ 1000 and the council level event will be limited to
US$ 2000 only. The rest of the budget projection if any has to be
raised through sponsorship and support by local
section/chapter/student branches).
The budget should include the travel allowance to Branch
counselors, food and stay if any and other operational expenses.
PROPOSAL TO CONDUCT A CONGRESS
A manual for activities, dos & don’ts will be developed with
the interaction between the branch counselors and student
leaders in this meeting
Branch counselors of new and sick branches will be motivated
to do well and develop/ revamp the branches to become more
active in every way. They will be apprised of the 10
responsibilities as listed in motivating the branch counselor.
Branch counselors will take more interest in the activities of the
branch and learn from others who are successful as branch
counselors
IEEE alumni group in each student branch will be formulated
and activated within one year, which will enhance membership
retention and many other activities.
