Judging Criteria

  • Innovation & Creativity
    Is the idea original, or is it a unique spin on an existing solution? Does it "Rush Beyond Limits" (push boundaries)? Is the problem statement addressed in a creative way?
  • Technical Complexity
    How technically challenging was the project? Did the team use modern frameworks/APIs effectively? Is the code clean, organized, and logically structured?
  • Functionality
    Does the prototype actually work during the demo? Is the core feature implemented (even if side features are missing)? How bug-free is the critical path?
  • Impact & Feasibility
    Does this solve a real-world problem? Is the solution scalable or commercially viable? Is it useful to the target audience?
  • Design & UI/UX
    Is the interface intuitive and easy to navigate? Does the visual design match the theme/purpose? Is the user experience smooth?
  • Presentation & Pitch
    Did the team articulate their idea clearly? Did they finish within the pitch time limit? How well did they handle Q&A?
