Submissions must be original work by the team.
Submissions will be evaluated based on:
Innovation and originality
Problem relevance
Feasibility and technical approach
Potential impact
Quality of the proposed solution
Shortlisted teams will qualify for Round 2.
Round 2 – Final Build & Demo
Shortlisted teams will advance to the in-person final round at Woxsen University, Hyderabad. Participants will develop or refine their solutions and present their final build or demonstration to the judges.
The full Round 2 schedule and participation details will be shared directly with shortlisted teams.
Hardware teams should bring their prototype and components. If you need power, workspace, or internet support for your demo, inform the organizers in advance after shortlisting.
