**Springer follows stringent policies for plagiarism. Papers having similarities beyond a specified limit of 10% will be straightaway rejected and therefore, it should be below 10% for camera-ready papers. The authors also need to obtain permission from the copyright holder for third-party content use, if any.  

The minimum page length should be 5 (please use Springer-LNEE format) and as of now, there is no maximum limit proposed by the organizing committee. However, the preferred page length is between 5 to 20. Additional pages may be allowed depending upon the reviewers' comments. 

The National Institute of Technology Jamshedpur (NIT Jamshedpur), is an Institute of National Importance located at Jamshedpur, Jharkhand, India. Established as a Regional Institute of Technology in 1960, it was upgraded to National Institute of Technology (NIT) on 27 December 2002 with the status of Deemed University. It is one of the 31 NITs in India, and as such is directly under the control of the Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD). It is the third in the chain of eight NITs established as a part of the Second Five Year Plan (1956–61) by the Government of India. The Institute has twelve departments including engineering, science and humanities. The institute offers a 4-year Bachelor of Technology degree in the various streams. The institute also offers Master and Ph.D degrees in various streams. The institute is bound to the quest for academic excellence and good governance, growth of institute, admired and respected institute for students, employees and industry, innovative leader.

The Department of Electrical Engineering was started in 1960. The Department has been consistently producing quality Engineers since its inception and is also involved in research and development activities. The alumni of the department are well placed in both public and private sectors. In addition to the UG programme the department runs PG programme in Power Systems and Power Electronics and Drives and Ph.D. program in different areas of specialization.
