This round is common for both software and hardware track and focuses purely on: Problem identification Innovation and creativity Feasibility of implementation Potential real-world impact No coding or hardware building is required in this stage. Based on evaluation, shortlisted teams will qualify for the final hackathon round,  which will be held offline. Final Round: Implementation Software Track: A 24-hour hackathon where shortlisted teams build and demonstrate their solutions. Bonus points are awarded for deployed or demo-accessible solutions. Note: Problem statements will be released on the day of the event. Hardware Track: Teams must build their prototype entirely on-site, following a strict build-from-scratch policy. Any pre-assembled or pre-programmed hardware leads to immediate disqualification. Note: Problem statements will be released 3 days before the event.
