The National ICT Awards – NBQSA stands as Sri Lanka’s foremost ICT competition, established in 1998 to celebrate and recognize the innovations of individuals and organizations that significantly contribute to the development of the ICT industry in the country.
Organized annually by BCS The Chartered Institute for IT Sri Lanka Section (BCSSL), this prestigious event provides a vital platform for showcasing local ICT talent, facilitating connections between emerging innovators and the broader business community both locally and internationally.
This year, we are proud to announce that project SpokenMaster, developed by a team of third-year students following the BIS Degree, secured the Bronze Award in the Tertiary Student Project (Business) category. This achievement not only highlights the creativity and dedication of our students but also reflects the commitment of our department to fostering innovation and excellence in IT. The winning team comprised of Mr. Tharindu Fernando (Team Leader), Ms. Kavindi Ranasinghe, Mr. Charaka Kasthuriarachchi, Ms. Supipi Madara and Ms. Hashini Gamage.
The project was supervised by Dr. Shashikala Subashini, Senior Lecturer of the Department of IT. This was the first time that a student group from the Department had won recognition at this prestigious national awards ceremony. We at the Department of IT extend our heartfelt congratulations to the winners for their outstanding accomplishments. Their achievements inspire future generations of BIS innovators at the Department of IT and reinforce our commitment to excellence in education.
