Agilent
delivers innovative technologies, solutions and services to a wide range of customers in communications, electronics and bio-analytical measurement.  Agilent's pioneering spirit was kindled more than 60 years ago, when two engineers - Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard - invented the future in their garage. In 1999, Agilent was spun off from Hewlett-Packard Company and we have continued to support the values so important to the two visionary founders. We have also continued to innovate in territory that matters, blazing trails in the fields that are shaping the modern world.

 

Inspired by the phenomenal success of Best B Tech Awards - 2005, instituted by Agilent Technologies, Inc, we again bring to you the Agilent Engineering & Technology Awards 2008

 

This award aims to encourage and recognize engineering students towards hands-on engineering in India. Practical engineering talent is critical to the growth of India as a base for cutting-edge R&D and innovation across industries.

 

We remain inspired by the exceptional talent pool in the country to include both B.Tech and M.Tech students this year too. The Agilent Engineering and Technology Awards 2008 would witness participation from over 50 institutes in the country. 4 Regional rounds will lead to selection of 8 best entries that will compete at the National round in the first week of June 2008.

 

The winning team gets an exciting opportunity to visit and interact with world class scientists at Agilent’s best in class R&D facility in San Francisco.
