The Future Hackathon is a high-intensity, 24-hour sprint designed for the next generation of AI architects and web developers. Hosted by the Department of Computer Science & Engineering at Gulzar Group of Institutes, this challenge pushes you to bridge the gap between human intent and machine execution.
Participants will select one of four futuristic problem statements to build a complete, web-based solution powered by advanced prompt engineering and robust logic. It’s not just about coding; it’s about how you command the AI to build the future.
📅 The Schedule
Day 1: The Build Phase (24 Hours) Start your engines. You have exactly one day to take a problem statement from "Prompt" to "Product."
Day 2: The Pitch Phase Present your solution to our panel of experts. Each team has 5-8 minutes to demonstrate their logic, UI, and UX.
⚖️ Adjudication Criteria
Your solutions will be judged on three core pillars:
User Interface (UI): Is it visually stunning and intuitive?
User Experience (UX): Does it solve the user's problem efficiently and smoothly?
Logic & Functionality: How robust is the underlying prompt engineering and code? Does it actually work?
