The 5th installment of the Huawei ICT Competition 2020 in Pakistan is underway with road shows having just concluded in the country.
The competition is being held in partnership with the Higher Education Commission (HEC). Due to the restrictions placed by Covid-19, what were once traditional roadshows substituted with virtual roadshows and awareness sessions.
Virtual road shows and awareness sessions were conducted at over 30 universities all around Pakistan by Huawei’s Talent Ecosystem Development team and its authorized learning partners like Al-KICS and Corvit. More than 10,000 students registered for the international competitive and communication-based platform hoping to increase their ICT knowledge, improve their practice and application skills, as well as spread innovation awareness.
During this week, all of the registered participants will sit for the next stage of the competition, known as the preliminary exam.
So far, 20 on site locations have been finalized, while the rest of the exams will take place virtually. All government-issued SOP’s will be followed during the on-site examinations. The results of the preliminary exam will come out next week and the top students will make it to the next stage of the competition; enablement training and certification exam.
