Scholars in the Making
A year-long research mentorship initiative by IEEE Computer Society, Pulchowk Student Branch Chapter
Ever imagined seeing your name in an internationally recognized IEEE journal? Scholars in the Making (SITM) is designed to turn that dream into reality — guiding participants step by step from a raw idea to a fully published research paper.
Over the course of a year, participants move through four progressive stages:
- Research Discussions – Explore emerging topics, sharpen research thinking, and identify a problem area worth pursuing, guided by peers and mentors.
- Review Paper – Learn to survey existing literature, synthesize prior work, and build the academic foundation for original research.
- Ideathon – Pitch and refine original research ideas in a competitive, collaborative environment, with feedback from experienced reviewers.
- Final Paper – Develop the strongest ideas into a complete, publication-ready manuscript aimed at an internationally recognized IEEE journal.
Whether you're a first-time researcher or already have some experience, SITM offers structured mentorship, peer collaboration, and a clear pathway toward your first (or next) IEEE publication.

It started with a simple question. How much interest is there in research among students? And from that question, a research initiative was born. Through its different phases, it brought together students and people interested in research, giving them a space to explore, learn, and connect. Eventually, we reached the point where five finalists had made it through the different stages of the initiative and were ready to present their research.
