About the challenge
DevMarketplace proposes a three-day launch and hackathon event at Sir Syed University of
Engineering & Technology for undergraduate students in Computer Science, Software Engineering,
Computer Engineering, Information Technology, and related programs. Student teams will identify a
real problem, shape a focused product concept, and build a working minimum viable product using AI-
assisted development and reusable code components.
The event is designed to move students beyond idea-only pitching. Every submitting team finishes
with a runnable prototype, a source repository, and a live demonstration. DevMarketplace funds and
runs the event end to end — platform access, AI model credits, mentors, refreshments, and prizes —
and asks the university for venue, outreach, and faculty coordination.
