Rules
  • The hackathon begins from the moment teams register. So, the sooner your team registers, the more time you will have to work on the problem statements. Once the submission deadline ends, depending on the quality of the solutions, the top 15-25 teams will be invited to appear for the finals.
  • All teams invited to the finals should report in person to the AU Incubation Center (ā hub) at 8:45 AM. Late comers may lose their spot to standby teams or face space limitations.
  • The problem statements can be found here (PDF).
  • Participating teams are to find a solution to any one of the problems. Participants should submit prototypes or a functional simulation of their solution.
  • The solutions must be the own work of participating teams.
  • Participants should have their own equipment and consumables to help them develop a solution.
  • In phase 1 of the hackathon, teams will submit their presentation and a video demonstrating their solution. This must be completed by the registration deadline as ONLY the top 15-25 teams selected in the first round will be invited to the finals.
  • At the finals, the invited teams will present their solution in person to the judges. This will involve a live demo of the solution. Each team will be given a maximum of 5 minutes to present their solution.
  • NOTE: If the judges do not believe the proposed MVP/Prototype/PoC of a team is up to the mark, they will NOT invite such teams to the finals. Hence the range of “top 15-25 teams”.
  • ONLY participating teams that are present for the valedictory will be awarded certificates of participation.
  • You can join the HackAP Hackathon group to receive notifications for this and other hackathons.
