What is Pensez?
Pensez is the annual case study competition organized by the Entrepreneurship Cell, IIT Kharagpur. 

What is a case study?

Case studies are written summaries or syntheses of real-life cases based upon data and research. They provide a systematic way of looking at events, collecting data, analyzing information, and reporting the results.

Ok, but how do I present a case study?
A case study has two components, a Report and a Dossier. Here are a few items that should be included or at least touched on in a case study analysis:

• Basic information about the company, industry, project or event featured in the case study.
• An analysis of its dynamics and statistics.
• A summary of the assumptions and methodologies adopted while conducting the study.

What are dossiers and report?
Reports provide a summary of the fieldwork and findings while the Dossier is an archive of reprints, graphs, survey data, results etc. Think of the dossier as all the raw data you collated and the report as what you inferred from it after due analysis. We will need both to be submitted when required.

What is this year's problem statement for Pensez?

This year's problem statement has not yet been put up. We will update the site as soon as the topic is announced.

I am at a loss when it comes to finding the relevant information for the study... Could you point me in the right direction?

We have a dedicated resource section on our website which we keep updating frequently to aid in your preparation.As a reminder, googling always serves the purpose well too!

Do I have to come to IIT Kharagpur for participating? If yes, how will you be assisting me?

You need to be present at IIT Kharagpur only if you qualify for the final round where you have to give a presentation of your case study in front of a panel of judges. Preliminary rounds have online submission, so you needn’t worry about your travel plans. If you plan to come by train or fly down, then better book the tickets early and keep your fingers crossed!

If you register with us early, we will provide you accommodation. However, no reimbursement of travelling expense will be made.

How do I know if I won (or did not)?

Results will be uploaded on the website & on the blog on the mentioned dates, also information regarding the next round will be provided to you as soon as the results will be declared.
