An online MVP round on AI in Education narrows the field to thirty teams, then those teams build offline in Delhi for 24 hours against a new problem statement.
Online — MVP Submission
Build and submit a working MVP on the Round 1 theme. The top 50 teams are shortlisted, and the first 30 of those to confirm take the seats in Delhi.
Theme: AI in Education
Build AI-powered solutions that make learning more personalized, accessible, and effective for students. Teams can explore education, productivity, accessibility, communication, local services, sustainability, and student life.
Submit four things
A project description, a 2–3 minute demo video, the GitHub repository, and a live demo if you have one. Late or incomplete submissions may not be considered.
Shortlist and confirmation
The top 50 teams are shortlisted on their submissions, but only the first 30 of those to confirm their participation within the given timeline secure a spot in Round 2 — so confirming quickly matters as much as being picked.
In-Person — Delhi
A 24-hour offline coding and development round in New Delhi. Shortlisted teams receive a new problem statement at the venue and build on site. The exact location is disclosed to selected participants.
On-site round begins
The 24-hour offline coding and development round opens in New Delhi. Teams receive a new problem statement at the venue.
