Turn concepts into shipped products — built, demoed and launched at rocket speed
Six technical sectors. One board built for software, hardware and open innovation.
One continuous campus sprint from first commit to working demo.
Career tools, identity and opportunity access packed into one builder credential.
Nobody leaves empty-handed.
Credentials and gifts are guaranteed. A podium finish is the bonus.
Submit the prescribed PPT with your chosen problem statement and solution approach.
Shortlisted teams turn the approved idea into a working prototype at RIT.
The top 25 teams present their product in a five-minute demo followed by Q&A.
Four gifts go to every registered participant — not the winners, not a shortlist, everyone who competes. On top of a ₹30,000 prize pool, the cohort is backed by a ₹15,00,000 worth of credential access, a premium skills app, and a remote internship offer.
Every Round 2 participant receives a permanent smart wallet and the complete career stack below.
A lifelong, verifiable credential wallet unlocked for every participant — the whole cohort, not a shortlist. Your Hackfinity credential lands in it the moment the event closes, and the career tooling around it stays yours.
Free premium access to the UptoSkills app for everyone on the floor. It keeps paying out long after the 24 hours are over — monthly reward potential, plus academic credit for the work you put in.
A remote internship opportunity for every registered participant. You do not have to place, podium, or even finish your build to qualify for it — showing up and shipping is the bar.
Verifiable digital credentials for everyone, issued straight into the wallet. Winners receive a distinctive premium certificate — visibly different from the participant certificate — so the achievement reads at a glance on a résumé or profile.
A live board through the 24 hours showing top performers and, at the close, the winners — visible to the whole floor.
The TruScholar marketing team backs the event's promotional and marketing push, so the work on this floor gets seen off it.
Dedicated design support for customising the credential artwork issued to every participant and winner.
Every gift on this page is free for registered participants. Nothing here is an upsell or a paid add-on.
Three software domains and three hardware domains — 49 statements between them — plus one Open Innovation wildcard for the idea that fits nowhere.
Three domains · ships as code
Teach it to spot what people miss
The largest software domain — applied ML for security and analysis: dependency risk scoring, coverage-guided fuzzing, secrets detection and pipeline integrity.
Make the model earn its keep
Generative systems that have to hold up in production — offline and zero-API assistants, adversarial text detection, and grounded generation.
Get the words right
Language systems under real conditions — cross-language misinformation tracking, contract contradiction detection, and gesture and speech interfaces.
Three domains · ships as a build
Build things that move
The single biggest domain on the board — robotics, sensing and control. Working prototypes beat slideware; bring the soldering iron.
Run it on the device
Pushing inference to the edge — accelerating models on constrained silicon where latency, power and thermal budgets all matter.
Make the firmware survive
Embedded and connected devices — secure OTA updates with rollback, predictive pipeline monitoring, and distributed coordination in the field.
One wide-open slot — HF3-SW-25 — for the idea that refuses to fit a box. Build hardware, software, or both. You define the problem, and it still ships in 24 hours.
Tiers are being finalised. Get your brand in front of every builder on the floor — the board below is waiting for names.
