FAQ

Questions, answered clearly.

Everything teams should understand before starting their individual 48-hour clock.

Who can participate?+

Students, developers and builders may participate in this national virtual hackathon, subject to the published rules.

Can I participate alone or with another college?+

Yes. Participate solo or in a team of up to four. Teammates may be from different colleges or organizations.

When does the 48-hour timer start?+

Your rolling 48-hour countdown starts immediately after registration is confirmed. September 18 is the registration closing date, and the event concludes September 22.

Does every team member register separately?+

No. The team lead registers once and provides every teammate’s name and email. A participant cannot belong to multiple teams.

Can we change teammates or challenge later?+

Changes may be requested before submission while editing is available. Organizer approval may be required after the build window starts.

Who submits the project?+

The team lead submits one final project for the entire team using the registered account.

Can we use AI tools and open-source libraries?+

Yes. Teams may use ChatGPT, Codex, Claude, Gemini, Copilot and open-source libraries, but must understand, validate, disclose and credit assisted work.

What if the product is not deployed?+

A deployed product is strongly expected. If deployment is impossible, provide a clear demo video and complete setup instructions; this may affect the working-product score.

Are there cash or paid-internship prizes?+

No. All rewards are unpaid internship opportunities. Displayed rupee amounts are estimated experience values, not cash or stipends.

What happens after registration?+

You receive a tracking ID, personal deadline, participant portal access and referral link. Results and certificates are released through the portal.
