The hackathon is organised with the objective of fostering innovation, interdisciplinary problem-solving, and hands-on technical competence among students. The event provides a structured platform for participants to ideate, design, prototype, and present technology-driven solutions aligned with emerging and industry-relevant domains.

Each hackathon will be conducted for a duration of 6 hours, with separate registrations to ensure focused participation and effective mentoring. Approximately 50 teams will participate in each domain, with each team comprising a minimum of two and a maximum of three participants.
