Guidelines for Teach A Topic (TAT) 2021

1. Competitors can create a short video of 5-8 minutes in length explaining an academic topic. No more. Videos more than 8 minutes long have high chances of rejection.

2. The medium of explanation can either be in English or Manipuri.  The video should be in landscape mode. The competition is open to all regardless of any field of studies.

3. Participants can use any method/mode of explanation and have the freedom to use external resources( quotes, images, references, etc.). Due credits should be given where ever necessary. Inturn, it has to be original, innovative and comprehensible.

4. Participants can opt to exclude their presence from the camera but the entire presentation has to be made by the participant only (use of computer generated voiceover is prohibited). In case a participant is caught using fraudulent means, he/she will be revoked from the competition.

5. Subscribe to MitSna’s Youtube, Facebook and Instagram and upload your videos in your own  google drive  and share the link to  our mail: mitsna.outreach@gmail.com 

6. The competition will be conducted in two phases. 

 In the first round the top 10 will be selected by the public on the basis of views and likes, and gives 60 percent of weightage to it. And remaining 40 percent will be further subdivided into :

         -20 percent from the TAT organizing team.

         -20 percent from the executive members.

 And will compete against each other in the second and final round. In case of ties in views and likes in all our social media platforms for the first round, the decision of the panelists will be final (via popularity).

 The panelists will assess the top 10 participants based on

  • The difficulty of the chosen topic
  • The clarity in which the topic is presented 
  • Originality and the degree of innovative ideas and concepts used to explain the topic.  

7. It is highly recommended that the participants submit their videos along with the title and to compress their video file.

[*Note : Once the participants upload their videos to MitSna, it will automatically become the property of MitSna and will be used to increase stock on MitSna’s educational materials.]

  • We will send a confirmation mail within 24hrs from the receipt of your mail. If you fail to receive any, please do send us a reminder.

Q. Why does public voting have more weightage?

  • Teach a Topic is not a superficial competition. We believe that our competition has more depth and meaning. We have 2 levels; the 2nd stage will be judged by professionals who have a wide range of experience and the judging will be highly critical. For the first round we want to see how well the idea/content is well received by someone who is not trained or highly educated in the field, after all, MitSna’s goal is to make educational content as enjoyable as possible without limiting to the 4 walls of a classroom, to take education outside of schools and textbook and make the general public who are not trained to think in a classroom setting understand. Hence to overcome excessive exploitation of this setting, we have exercised 60% of the decision making to the public and the remaining to the executive members and co-ordinators of TaT. Though we are open to more creative suggestions in the future.

Teach a Topic is MitSna\’s online competition to look for and find out young talent of teaching…
