Student's AI Breakthrough

Anonymous
A student from Chandigarh University has beaten out peers across Punjab to win a top prize in artificial intelligence. Devesh Panwar was named
Panwar took home a cash prize of Rs 1 lakh, a laptop, and exclusive Samsung rewards, according to PR Newswire. The win came through the Samsung Innovation Campus AI Program, run in partnership with the Telecom Sector Skill Council and training partner Focal Skill Development.
What Panwar Built to Win the Title
For his final project, Panwar built an AI-powered tool called AI Research Agent. It is a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) platform — a system that lets users ask smart questions about private document collections and get accurate answers. Think of it as a search engine that actually understands what you are looking for, according to PR Newswire.
Panwar presented the project before a jury panel as part of the final assessment. PR Newswire reported that the system showed clear improvements over traditional document retrieval methods, which often return results that miss the point of a user's question.
Samsung Innovation Campus Targets India's Youth Skills Gap
The Samsung Innovation Campus program aims to give Indian youth real, job-ready skills. The program covers AI, the Internet of Things (IoT), Big Data, and coding. Samsung runs it with the goal of preparing students for careers in fast-growing tech fields, according to Yahoo Finance.
Samsung partnered with the Telecom Sector Skill Council and Focal Skill Development to run the program on the ground. The program ranks top performers by state, making Panwar's Punjab title a competitive achievement among a large pool of students.
Chandigarh University Adds Another National-Level Win
Chandigarh University has built a reputation for producing students who perform well in national-level competitions and industry programs. Panwar's Punjab State Topper title adds to that track record. His recognition by a global brand like Samsung draws attention to the university's tech training programs, according to PR Newswire.
For Panwar, the Rs 1 lakh cash prize and laptop are a tangible reward for his work. But the bigger gain may be the industry recognition. Being named a Samsung state topper is a strong credential for any student entering India's competitive AI job market.
