The Smart India Hackathon (SIH) Internal Hackathon is organized by the Institute Innovation Council (IIC), Rajkiya Engineering College, Ambedkar Nagar to shortlist teams that will represent our college in Smart India Hackathon 2025, India’s largest innovation festival.

In this hackathon, students will work on real-world problem statements provided by organizations through SIH or propose their own under the Open Innovation Model. The goal is to encourage innovation, teamwork, and practical problem-solving.

• Form a team of 6 members (at least one female participant is compulsory).

• Relevance to Problem Statement
  How well does the solution address the selected SIH problem statement or proposed open innovation challenge? Is the solution practical and aligned with the real-world problem?
• Technical Implementation
  How well is the solution executed from a technical standpoint? Is the prototype or PPT detailed, functional, and feasible? Does it demonstrate sound use of technology and tools?
• Impact & Scalability
  What is the potential impact of the solution if implemented? Can it be scaled and applied in real-world scenarios? Does it solve the problem effectively for a larger audience?
