Very
Important: Smart India Hackathon 2017
will be the biggest Hackathon in the world till date. On 1st
and 2nd
April approx. 10,000 participants will code non-stop for 36 hrs for
building tools which our nation might be able to use. As the scale of
this competition is unprecedented, our small budgets don’t allow us
to be lavish and we will focus only on making absolutely necessary
facilities. Participants are also expected to co-operate as together,
we need to build our nation and make us all proud. We believe that if
every Indian does his bit for nation then India soon will be
knowledge superpower. We dream of digital India with best quality of
life to all our fellow Indians.
The
primary objective of this Smart India Hackathon-2017 initiative is to
create a permanent platform to harvest the creativity and energy of
our youngsters directly for nation building. We want to create
world’s biggest open innovation model, which other countries should
emulate.
We
are hopeful that all the participating teams will support us in this
mega-endeavour and together we will cherish great memories.
Duration

- Inauguration of the ‘Grand Finale’ of Smart India Hackathon will start at 7.30 am on 1st April 2017.

Travel
- Organizers will only reimburse tickets of ‘Sleeper Class’ Railway or Overnight Sleeper Buses or Normal buses (Non AC) at actuals immediately (at the venue). If team members have travelled by any other mode of transport, then organizers will only reimburse amount equivalent to ‘Sleeper Class’ of Railways but this may not happen immediately as the accounts department will need to find out the ticket prizes and then calculate accordingly (this will take some more time). No DA will be paid.
- Team leader has to prepare a consolidated TA form to cover ticket expenses of all their team members (including Mentors). Money will be transferred electronically to the Bank account of Team Leader only. It is responsibility of the Team Leader to reimburse other team members including Mentors. Hence details regarding name of account holder, bank name, account number, and IFSC code should be provided along with TA form to receive the amount later. TA form will be available here for download in the last week of March.
- All team Members (including Mentors) should reach the venue on 31st March and complete the registration process by 31st March evening. They should visit the venue and get familiarized with it on 31st March and get ready for the competition. We do not want teams coming on 1st April morning as they will be tired and not able to compete for 36 hrs.
- If teams are reaching on 30th March then organizers need to be informed in advance so that they can make appropriate arrangements. Plan return journey on 3rd April. No accommodation will be provided after 3rd April. If some teams have flight/train/bus scheduled on 4th April then they need to make request in advance and accommodation will be provided if available.
- We will announce detailed information about the Centers and Center coordinator around 20th March. Please be patient.
Changing/Replacing
Team Member and Mentors
- Each team will be allowed to replace/change maximum up to 3 team members (any team member except the Team Leader). Changing Team Leader will be allowed only under special circumstances and the request need to be made through college by Principal/ Dean/ Director. Teams are allowed to change Mentors till the last moment and organizers need not be informed about the same. If you have to replace more than three members then request should be mailed to the organizers through Principal/Dean/Director of institute.
- Each team needs to come to venue with Official letter from college giving details about Team members and Mentors. Only teams with official college letter and college ID will be allowed to compete during the Grand Finale.

- We recommend that Mentors should be software Techies having good knowledge of latest technologies which will help team to build better product.
- Primary responsibility of getting two Mentors is with the teams. For teams with no mentors, organizers will TRY provide mentors but organizers do not guarantee of providing Mentors to all the teams.
- Teams can compete without Mentors during the Grand Finale but it is recommend that you have mentors to develop better product.
- You can Change Mentors/ Team Members till the last moment. You need NOT inform us. While coming for the Grand Finale you need to carry a letter from your institution with names of all your team members and Mentors. Students/Mentors stated in that letter will be only allowed to compete during the Grand Finale.

Organizers will not be liable/responsible for any violation of any licensing terms of software/hardware by participating teams or team members.

Too many PCs connecting simultaneously with wifi, substantially affect the download speed. Plan in such a way that team should be able to work with minimal wifi download requirements. Teams can also bring their own 3G or 4G dongles to avoid dependency on local network. No reimbursements will be made for these dongles.

Getting
Half baked Code/ raw code
- Teams are allowed to bring half-baked or raw code for the competition. Teams can also get wire-frame ready for UI that will help them build product easily during the hackathon. Based on the suggestions during the competition, teams need to further modify their code and make their solution robust.

ReplyDeleteSo we're requesting you to reimburse tickets of 2nd class sleeper(as you provided) in TATKAL QUOTA too.
Yes... It is eligible.
DeleteRespected Sir,
ReplyDeleteIs it necessary that we should stay an extra day (Apr 3rd)?
Regards.
Absolutely no. You can leave on 2nd night anytime after 10.00 pm. We will finish before 9.00 pm on 2nd April. But we think that as you would have worked continuously for 36 hrs you will be exhausted to travel back immediately.
DeleteCan we get the amount of T-shirt as your prefer cost sir.....
ReplyDeleteWe will not reimburse cost of tshirt. You can decide it based on your budget. We have no suggestions in that regard. You just need to ensure that Smart India Hackathon 2017 logo is on the left side of the chest
DeleteRespected Sir/Madam,
ReplyDeleteOur project is mostly based on embedded system. So we have hardware implementation plus software coding, but our coding part is very few as well as hardware implementation also don't take much time. So 36 hours are too much for our project if all 6 members will work in parallel. So will it create any problem during competition if our project will completed before time?
And also we have another query, is there any project presentation session?
If yes then we have to make presentation on the spot or we have to come with pre-ready presentation?
Awaiting for your response!
Same query i want, sir please response
DeleteI don't agree... You can always build great UI for your application. Put more controls in the hand of the user.

ReplyDeletesir
ReplyDeleteour team has been shortlisted gor grand finale in ministry of electronics and information communication (meity) but our team is a faculty team can replace it as student team and sent to final with the consent from college kindly guide me
No faculty members are allowed apart from being mentors.. Primarily Smart India Hackathon 2017 is students competing
DeleteSo ideally you should not come to participate in the Hackathon. We are going to check students'id card before we allow them to compete. Allowing team of faculty members is injustice to other student teams
DeleteThe girl in our team has backed out.So,Sir,can the remaining 5 team members participate in the Hackathon without the girl?
ReplyDeleteReplace her with some other member. We want 6 members team
DeleteSir,

Kindly resolve this issue

ReplyDeleteDear Sir,
ReplyDeleteI am a student of Bharati Vidyapeeth's college of Engineering, New Delhi. We have qualified for the Grand Finale of Smart India Hackathon and our team is really excited to participate in the hackathon and contribute to our country's development. However there is one problem, our one of the team members will not be able to join us at the centre Thiruvananthapuram for Ministry of Rural Development. So, my query is, can five members of our team participate in the Hackathon?
Sir, we have also tried for the replacement of member but we are unable to find any other programmer in such a small span of time.
