SIH & hackathons

Smart India Hackathon preparation

SIH shortlisting happens on a few slides. We help your team pick a problem you can actually solve, shape the idea and present it clearly.

How do teams prepare for Smart India Hackathon?

Form a team of six with at least one female member as per SIH rules, pick a problem statement that matches your skills, research existing solutions, define what is new in yours, build the idea presentation in the official template, clear your college's internal hackathon, and prepare a prototype plan for the grand finale.

Problem statement selection

Matching statements to your team's strengths.

Idea shaping

Feasibility, novelty and impact, stated simply.

SIH PPT

In the official template: idea, approach, feasibility, impact, references.

Prototype plan

Architecture, tech stack and a 36-hour build plan.

Pitch practice

Mock evaluation with judge-style questions.

Team roles

Who builds, who presents, who documents.

What we do not do

We mentor; your team builds and presents. Hackathons test your own ability under time pressure, and judges ask who did what.
