The Great Mind Challenge 2012 :
TGMC announce the launch of The Great Mind Challenge (TGMC) 2012.

TGMC is an innovative program aimed at encouraging students from engineering colleges from across India in their endeavor to develop solutions for real-time problems and scenarios using IBM & Open Source Software. It is India’s largest student technology contest, two years running in the Limca Book of Records!

What's in it for students?
** Improvise their software writing skills.
** Get an opportunity for future employment.
** Become market-ready with the skills and expertise they develop through TGMC which is In-Demand.

Participation in the contest gives students the excitement of working on real-life solutions, with FREE IBM software’s to choose from and work with. Students also have the opportunity to seek for any technical help while working on their project by us.

** Complete J2EE project – EAR file

2. Make a ZIP or TAR file of your code and put it into a folder, or just ZIP or TAR the entire workspace.

3. Store screenshots of all the screens or UIs of the project as JPGs in a folder titled Snapshots, or create a DOC, PPT, or PDF of all the screenshots with all possible test cases:
