Eligibility: Scholarships and prizes are given only to contestants verified to be college students graduating in 2021 or later, from any branch and college. All we test you on is the ability and a growth mindset.

Out of the 15,00,000 students graduating every year, only 40,000 get placed with packages more than 8 LPA, and most of them are from tier-1 colleges. The lack of industry-ready skills is a significant contributor to the current status of employment across the industry.
