A Hackathon is any event of any duration where people come together to solve problems. There is given a set of Problems to the team. Team has to give solution of the problem. it may be idea of the problem or implementation like app, web based etc. within the duration. HackIIITV is not just a coding contest rather, its notion is to get the most effective solutions to real-life problems. It is a team-based event in which each team is given a problem set consisting of real-life problems and the teams have to come up with a practical solution for the same. The teams have to fabricate programs to implement their ideas & also present it, however complex it is, to the judges. All of this has to be done within a period of 24 hours, so your management, team-work, and planning skills matter here. As you can see HackIIITV is a blend of programming, creative thinking, time management and presentation skills,
- A team must contain 5 members.
- All work on the project must be done at the venue.
- The project must follow the theme.
- Every team must submit at-least one pull-request every hour on GitHub, during the “Hack” time.
- Each team much present their ideas formally (PowerPoint presentation not necessarily required) to the judges after the 24 hour hack time.
- The presentation time must not exceed 6 minutes.
- Teams must stop hacking once the time is up. However, teams are allowed to debug and make small fixes to their programs after time is up. e.g. If during demonstrating your hack, you find a bug that breaks your application and the fix is only a few lines of code, it's okay to fix that.
- If any team is found to have plagiarised their hack, the team shall be disqualified immediately & will not be allowed to participate in any technical event of institute in academic year 2020-21.
- If any team is found to have made major changes to their work product after submission then the team will be disqualified immediately.
- Projects containing any kind of harassment, abuse or profanity will be disqualified immediately. .
- Any team who fails to submit their work product will be disqualified immediately.
- In any case of conflict, the decision of the organizers will be final.
