A representative from Huawei Oman, Mr. Malik Al-Wahebe, came to visit the College and the Engineering Department on September 27, 2017. A program was arranged for our students and a few staff members in attendance. He presented their company, Huawei, and announced the Huawei ICT Skills Competition for Middle East this year and encouraged the students to participate in it.
This branch of Huawei linked and collaborated with the Telecommunication Regulatory Authority, Ministry of Manpower, and Ministry of Higher Education to conduct the ICT Skills Competition for all the Colleges of Technology and some select academic institutions. They will select the students that will represent the Sultanate of Oman in the Global Competition, in China later this year.
Any number of students can register for the competition, but each student has to complete at least one (1) year of study in the College. The more students participating from our college, the greater will be the College’s chances of being included in the lineup to represent the Sultanate.
The competition for Oman will be conducted with a knock-out type of system. All registrants must first take an Online Preliminary Exam, which will be held from October 15, to October20, 2017. From among those who take the Preliminary Exam, only the best 100 will proceed to the next level. Next, there is the National Exam, which will be held from November 5 to November 10, 2017 in Muscat. There will be nine (9) winners, all of whom will receive trophies, cash awards, and prizes. These nine (9) students will represent the Sultanate of Oman in the International Competition in China from December 11, to December 15, 2017.
