The event will also feature a number of competitions and exhibition including a ‘Mobile Application Exhibition’, ‘Speed Programming Competition’, ‘Software Project Exhibition’, ‘Network Management Competition’, ‘Software Modeling & Design Competitions’, ‘Mobile Application Exhibition’ and ‘Computers became the Talk of the past and Mobiles The talk of the day’.

The most popular of these is the ‘Mobile Application and Exhibition’ competition. It aims to present students with the opportunity to showcase mobile applications that they have made in front of experts from the Industry. Participants will be allowed to give demonstrations of apps for mobile platforms like Nokia’s Symbian OS, Google’s Android, Apple’s iPhone, Microsoft Windows Mobile 7 and Blackberry. Furthermore, contestants could develop applications for either the ‘Fun & Games’ category or the ‘Apps’ category.

The TechELITE’11 is a unique platform, specifically tailored to promote the talent present in Pakistani students. It will allow the students, most of whom will soon graduate, a lot of opportunities to network and interact with Industry professionals and consequently raise their chances of getting good jobs later on in their careers.
