Contest Stages:
Stage 1:Evaluation by the Host Institutes
Ideas will be automatically sent to the HI, selected by the applicant. (HIs all across the country will shortlist meritorious ideas and forwarded to MoMSME)
For evaluation, each HI will identify and create a pool of experts from different domains/ areas of expertise, for e.g., entrepreneur, technical expert, financial expert, sector expert, etc.
From this pool of experts, a panel of minimum 3 and maximum 5 experts will be selected by the HI to evaluate each idea.
After evaluation, each HI will shortlist applicants on the https://innovative.msme.gov.in/ and will upload the scores & details of shortlisted applicants’ sector-wise. During evaluation, HIs shall adhere to the mandate for the ideas decided by Ministry of MSME.
Stage 2: Evaluation by the Ministry of MSME
After receiving shortlisted ideas from HI, the PMU will carry out the first stage screening. Only those ideas which have been received with relevant and appropriate information, fulfilling all the obligatory conditions as per the scheme guidelines, will be processed. If the idea uploaded is incomplete/or with incoherent information, the idea will be liable for rejection.
This will then be counter-checked by the programme division to ensure that no eligible idea has been left out. Thereafter the screened ideas will be forwarded to the Domain Expert Selection Committees (DESCs)
Stage 3 : Selection of Ideas by Domain Expert Selection Committee (DESC)
The ideas received would be segregated into the following five verticals, which will be evaluated by five DESCs.

One expert from MSME DFO and one member from the programme division for coordination will also constitute the DESC. DESCs will select the ideas, from the ideas forwarded to them subsequent to the first stage screening.
The DESC will evaluate the ideas as per the criteria decided by the Ministry and would select ideas for recommending to PMAC for final approval.
