InsightX: AI Data Challenge

Overview: InsightX: AI Data Challenge is a data-driven competition designed to evaluate participants’ ability to analyze real-world datasets and develop intelligent solutions using AI/ML techniques. Participants will work with structured or unstructured data to perform tasks such as prediction, classification, and insight generation, demonstrating both analytical and technical skills. Objectives: Apply AI/ML concepts to real-world datasets Develop analytical and problem-solving skills Extract meaningful and actionable insights Eligibility Criteria: Open to undergraduate students across all specializations Team participation only (2–4 members per team) Inter-college teams: Allowed Inter-specialization teams: Allowed Competition Format: Number of Rounds: 1 (Final Round) Problem Statements: 1 dataset-based problem will be provided during the event Duration: 3–4 hours for data analysis, model development, and solution building 5–10 minutes presentation per team Process: Participants will: Perform data preprocessing and exploratory data analysis Build predictive or analytical models Identify patterns, trends, and insights Present results through visualizations and explanation Tools Allowed: Python (Pandas, Scikit-learn, etc.) Excel / Google Sheets Approved ML tools and frameworks Judging Criteria: Accuracy / Logic – 40% Data Handling & Approach – 30% Insights & Visualization – 20% Presentation – 10% Rules & Guidelines: Teams must consist of 2–4 members; individual participation is not allowed Only the dataset provided during the competition may be used All work must be completed within the allotted time Pre-trained libraries are allowed, but complete pre-built solutions are prohibited Participants must perform preprocessing, EDA, feature engineering, and model evaluation Each team must present their solution within 5–10 minutes Submission must include code, outputs, and presentation files before the deadline Plagiarism or use of unfair means will lead to immediate disqualification Use of AI tools is permitted only as support; participants must fully understand their work Judges’ decision will be final and binding
