Time Management

Time is your MOST IMPORTANT responsibility. Please START the session on time. CONCLUDING
the session on time is even more important so as not to impinge upon the next session. Also ensure that
your session does not spill over into the changeover time between sessions. This time must be utilized
only for the next session Chairpersons to settle down.

Conflict of Interest

It is absolutely mandatory that in any competitive session where you are the judge and you feel there may
be conflict of interest because one of the presentations is by you/your associate/your family member/your
institute please inform the Chairperson- Scientific Committee immediately on receiving the information
about the session, so that alternative arrangements could be made & you could be assigned a different
session
