4. Ethical Standards:
Articles submitted to the conference should report original, previously unpublished research findings, experimental or theoretical, and should not be considered for publication elsewhere. We strongly believe that ethical behaviour is the most important virtual of any academic. Consequently, any act of plagiarism is a completely inappropriate academic misconduct and cannot be tolerated.
5. Presentation:
15-20 minutes are given to presenters in this category to present their work live through Zoom Meetings OR pre-recorded presentations. Before the session, five minutes will be given to each presenter as a practise. An additional 5 minutes will also be dedicated to Q&A. At the close of it. All presentations shall be in English, unless permitted by the Event Committee.
Each session will be moderated by a session chair who will be appointed by the organizers.
For the benefit of the audience, the presentation should at least cover the following areas:
The objective/purpose/rationale of the study

Conclusion/Discussion
Please be prepared with enough material to fill the time allocated to you. The use of visual aids (e.g., MS Powerpoint or Prezi) is compulsory.
You are still required to submit an abstract, and one author must pay the registration fee. At the end of the conference, you will receive a presentation certificate and the digital book of abstracts.

The primary author will chair the panel session discussion and conclude the session with his/her concluding remarks.
7. Some Presentation Tips (Structure):
The following is a sequence commonly used to present research findings:

Introduction/Overview/Objectives/Purpose
Research Questions / Hypotheses
Theoretical Framework
Methodology
Findings
Discussion:
• Has the research question been answered or hypothesis proven/refuted?
• Application/Implication of the Study
• Potential Follow-up Studies
Limitations
Recommendations
Conclusion
8. Abstract Review and Selection Criteria:
An Abstract Review Committee will evaluate all submissions and accepted based upon the following criteria:
Relevance and significance of topic.
Applicability of innovative/leading or best practice solutions to current issues you address
