The story behind the name
PRASIT was founded to address a growing problem in Indian academic publishing — the proliferation of predatory conferences that collect fees without providing genuine peer review or credible indexing.
We believe BTech and MTech students who produce original, honest research deserve a platform with real reviewers, meaningful feedback, and verifiable publication records.
Peer review standards are applied consistently and are not adjusted based on submission volume.
We are India-rooted and open to international participation.
Prasāra — Sanskrit for the spread and dissemination of knowledge. The root from which PRASIT draws its name and its purpose.
The traditional Deepam (oil lamp) in our symbol represents the pursuit of knowledge — present at convocations and academic ceremonies across India.
PRASIT Technologies
The organizing body for PRASIT 2027, based in Chennai, India.

How peer review works at PRASIT
Transparency about our review process is core to our credibility
Desk check (1 week)
TPC Chair checks: correct format, plagiarism below 15%, within scope, double-blind anonymity maintained. Papers failing desk check are returned immediately with reasons.
Reviewer assignment (1 week)
TPC Chair assigns 3 reviewers per paper from the relevant track. Conflict of interest is checked — no reviewer from the same institution as any author.
Independent review (4 weeks)
Each reviewer independently evaluates the paper on: originality, technical quality, relevance, writing clarity, and references. Reviewers do not see each other's scores during this phase.
TPC discussion (1 week)
For borderline papers, TPC Chair facilitates discussion among reviewers. Final accept/reject decision is based on reviewer consensus and TPC Chair judgment.
Author notification (with feedback)
ALL authors — accepted and rejected — receive the full reviewer comments. Rejected authors receive constructive feedback explaining what was lacking and how to improve.
Camera-ready & DOI assignment
Accepted authors submit final camera-ready PDF. Each paper is assigned a permanent CrossRef DOI and published in the official PRASIT proceedings.
| Criterion | Weight |
|---|---|
| Originality | 25% |
| Technical Quality | 25% |
| Methodology | 20% |
| Results & Analysis | 15% |
| Relevance to Track | 10% |
| Presentation & Writing Clarity | 5% |
Same institution
The reviewer is currently employed at or enrolled in the same university or organization as any author.
Recent co-authorship
The reviewer has co-authored a paper with any author within the last 3 years.
Supervisor/student relationship
The reviewer has served, or currently serves, as the PhD/MTech advisor or supervisee of any author.
Personal or financial relationship
The reviewer has a close personal relationship with, or financial interest in, any author's work.
Reviewer-requested conflicts
The reviewer independently identifies and discloses any other relationship that could bias their judgment.
Committee member submissions
If a TPC or organizing committee member is an author on a submission, they take no part in that paper's review or decision at any stage.
PRASIT 2027 Proceedings
How accepted papers are published, indexed, and cited
Accepted papers are published in the PRASIT 2027 Conference Proceedings, an open-access proceedings volume published by PRASIT Technologies, India.
Open-access policy
All proceedings are freely accessible online at prasit.in. No paywall, no subscription, no embargo period.
Copyright
Authors retain copyright of their own work. By submitting, authors grant PRASIT Technologies a non-exclusive license to publish, distribute, and archive the paper as part of the proceedings.
Licensing
Papers are published under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0) — readers may share and adapt the work with credit to the original authors.
Institutional repositories
Because copyright is retained by authors under CC BY 4.0, authors are free to upload their accepted, published paper to their institutional repository at any time.
Preprints
Posting a preprint on arXiv or a similar server before or after submission is permitted and does not count as duplicate submission, provided it is disclosed at submission.
Third-party material
If a paper includes figures, images, or data owned by a third party, the author is responsible for securing permission or using material appropriately licensed for reuse before submission.
DOI policy
Each accepted paper receives a permanent Digital Object Identifier (DOI), making it globally findable and citable, assigned upon publication in the proceedings.
CrossRef
DOIs are issued via CrossRef, the standard DOI registration agency used by IEEE, Springer, Elsevier, and major academic publishers. PRASIT Technologies' CrossRef membership is confirmed.
Google Scholar status
Proceedings from PRASIT's four prior editions are indexed in Google Scholar. The PRASIT 2027 proceedings will be submitted for indexing after publication; timelines are set by Google, not by PRASIT.
*T&C: Submission for evaluation does not guarantee acceptance. Indexing bodies apply their own independent review criteria and timelines, which are outside PRASIT's control.
Proceedings identifiers
- ISBN To be assigned before proceedings publication
- ISSN Not applicable — the proceedings are a one-time conference volume, not a serial publication
Each accepted paper is published as an individually citable entry in the proceedings, listed by track, with its own DOI landing page. Full-text PDFs are hosted on prasit.in and remain permanently accessible at no cost to readers.
Proceedings from the previous four editions are published and linked below for reference. Once finalized, this year's volume will be linked here as "PRASIT 2027 Proceedings → View Proceedings."
Authors are encouraged to cite PRASIT 2027 papers in IEEE style. Example:
Frequently asked questions
Straight answers to the questions we get most
Why should I trust PRASIT?
PRASIT 2027 is the fifth edition, with four completed editions and published proceedings behind it. Beyond that track record, we've tried to make everything verifiable: our full review process is published on the Review Process page, and our policies are public and specify what is confirmed versus still in progress — for example, Scopus/Web of Science indexing, which is submitted for evaluation but not yet confirmed.
Is PRASIT 2027 indexed in Scopus or Web of Science?
Not yet confirmed, and we won't claim otherwise. Each accepted paper receives a CrossRef DOI (registration confirmed), making it citable and findable, and proceedings from prior editions are indexed in Google Scholar. On approval, the proceedings series will be submitted to the Web of Science Book Citation Index (BkCI) and to SCOPUS for evaluation and indexing — submission does not guarantee acceptance, and PRASIT will only display those logos once officially confirmed by each body. We do not claim IEEE Xplore indexing.
Is acceptance guaranteed if I pay the registration fee?
No. Every paper goes through double-blind peer review regardless of fee payment, and papers can be rejected. Registration fees cover conference operations (platform, certificates, proceedings assembly) — they are not a pay-to-publish arrangement.
Is PRASIT 2027 an online or in-person conference?
Fully online. Authors present live over video call during the 15–16 March 2027 sessions; exact platform and scheduling details will be shared with accepted authors closer to the date.
What if my paper is rejected — do I get any feedback?
Yes. All authors, accepted or rejected, receive the full reviewer comments. Rejected authors get feedback explaining what was lacking and how to improve, rather than a bare rejection notice.
Can I withdraw my paper after it's accepted?
Yes, subject to our refund schedule: full refund if withdrawn more than 30 days before the conference, 50% within 15–30 days, and no refund within 14 days of the conference. See the Policies page for full terms.
Is a fee waiver available?
Students from economically weaker backgrounds may apply for a fee waiver by writing to contact@prasit.in with their institution ID and a brief note.

Conference policies
PRASIT operates under these policies — applied consistently to all submissions
Any revision to these policies will update the version number and effective date above.
No pay-for-acceptance
PRASIT does not guarantee acceptance based on payment. Every paper is reviewed on merit before any registration fee is requested.
Submission separated from registration
Registration fees are only requested after a paper is accepted — never as a condition of submission or review.
No premature indexing claims
Confirmed indexing claims (Scopus, Web of Science, DBLP, etc.) are only published after official confirmation from the indexing body — never in advance. Where proceedings have been submitted for evaluation but not yet confirmed, this is disclosed as "submitted for evaluation," never presented as confirmed indexing.
No implied affiliations
PRASIT does not imply affiliation with any university, government body, or other organization unless that affiliation is real and disclosed.
Publication terms documented publicly
DOI, copyright, licensing, and open-access arrangements are published on this site — not hidden in fine print or disclosed only after payment.
Authorship: All listed authors must have made a genuine intellectual contribution to the work. Honorary, gift, or ghost authorship is not permitted. The corresponding author is responsible for ensuring all co-authors have approved the final submission and agree to its publication.
Originality: Submitted work must be original and must not be under review at any other conference or journal simultaneously. Duplicate submission — submitting the same paper to two venues at the same time — will result in immediate rejection from PRASIT and notification to the other venue if identified.
Data integrity: Fabrication, falsification, or selective reporting of data is a serious breach of ethics. Authors must be able to provide underlying data upon request. PRASIT reserves the right to retract published papers if post-publication misconduct is established.

Language assistance permitted
AI tools may assist with language editing, grammar, and clarity — this does not need special disclosure beyond acknowledging the tool was used.
AI cannot be an author
No AI tool may be listed as an author or co-author. Authorship requires accountability that a tool cannot bear.
Authors remain responsible
Authors are fully responsible for all claims, analysis, and content in the paper, regardless of what tools assisted in producing it.
Fabricated citations prohibited
AI-generated or "hallucinated" references that do not correspond to real, verifiable sources are treated as a data-integrity violation.
AI-generated media disclosed
Any AI-generated images, figures, or synthetic data used in the paper must be clearly disclosed as such.
References must be verified
Authors must personally verify that every reference in the paper exists and is accurately represented before submission.
Confidentiality preserved
Unpublished or confidential material — including other authors' unpublished work — must not be entered into AI tools that may retain or expose it.
All submissions undergo similarity screening using PRASIT's academic plagiarism detection tool. A similarity score above the permitted threshold may trigger additional examination — but the score alone does not decide the outcome. Decisions are based on the nature and source of the overlap, not on percentage alone: a paper with 16% similarity from properly cited sources and standard phrasing may pass, while a paper with 12% similarity copied verbatim from one uncited source may not.
Typically proceeds
Below 15% similarity (excluding references and template boilerplate), with no single-source concentration.
Additional examination
15–25% similarity, or any concentration in one source — reviewed by the TPC Chair before proceeding.
Typically rejected
Above 25% similarity, or verbatim uncited copying regardless of overall percentage — rejected at desk check with the similarity report shared with the author.
Self-plagiarism
Submitting your own prior work without disclosure and proper citation is treated as plagiarism and results in desk rejection.
A conflict of interest exists when a reviewer has a professional or personal relationship with an author that could affect their objectivity. The following situations constitute a COI and require a reviewer to recuse themselves:
Same institution
The reviewer is currently employed at or enrolled in the same university or organization as any author.
Recent co-authorship
The reviewer has co-authored a paper with any author in the last 3 years.
Advisor / advisee relationship
The reviewer has served (or currently serves) as the PhD/MTech advisor or supervisee of any author.
Personal or financial conflict
The reviewer has a close personal relationship with, or financial interest in, any author's work.
Paper withdrawal before review: Authors may withdraw a submitted paper at any time before the review assignment is complete by writing to contact@prasit.in. No fee applies at this stage since registration is paid after acceptance.
Withdrawal after acceptance: If an accepted author withdraws after paying registration, the paper will be removed from the proceedings. Refund eligibility: full refund if withdrawn more than 30 days before the conference date; 50% refund within 15–30 days; no refund within 14 days of the conference.
Conference cancellation: In the event PRASIT 2027 is cancelled for reasons outside our control, registered participants will receive a full refund within 30 working days.
