The rules.

Short version: build it yourself, use any AI you like, and be ready to explain every choice.

01

Who can enter

  • Students in any year, and engineers with up to 5 years of tech experience.
  • You pick your level: Build (suggested up to 2 years) or Scale (suggested for 2+ years). Build opens internships and entry-level roles; Scale opens roles for 2+ years.
  • Any college, any stream. No fee to enter.
  • One person, one track. You can switch track or level until 11 Dec, 11:59 PM.
  • We check experience before results. If your level doesn’t match your profile, you move to the right level or out of the ranking.
02

Dates

  • 13 Nov–11 Dec: register and pick a track and level.
  • 12–13 Dec: Round 1, a Test and an AI interview on your track.
  • 21 Dec: Round 1 results. If you clear it, your Round 2 brief unlocks.
  • 26 Dec, 11:59 PM: Round 2 submission, then a short AI walkthrough of your Build.
  • 11 Jan: final results. Company interviews from 12 Jan.
  • All times are IST. Late submissions are not scored.
03

Round 1: Test + AI interview

  • Set for your track and level. Build and Scale get different Tests.
  • A Test, then an AI interview. Both on 12–13 Dec.
  • Camera and mic on, face visible, one screen, no one else in the room.
  • Try the sample Test first so you know the format before the day.
  • Clear it to reach Round 2. Results on 21 Dec.
04

Round 2: Build

  • Solo only. No teams.
  • Any AI tools. Use whatever helps. You will explain where and why in the walkthrough.
  • Your own work, built in the window. Start a fresh repo after the brief unlocks on 21 Dec. We read the commit history.
  • Submit by 26 Dec, 11:59 PM: a repo (or a doc for Data Analyst) and a live link, plus 3 lines on what you built.
  • Keep the live link up until 31 Jan. Companies open it.
05

Round 2: AI walkthrough

  • After you submit. 15–20 minutes, one attempt.
  • We ask about your Build: how your code is structured, what broke and how you fixed it, and where AI helped.
  • Camera and mic on. We check it’s you who built it.
06

How we score Round 2

  • Problem understanding: did you solve the real problem?
  • Build quality: does it work, on our tests and the live link?
  • AI judgment: where AI helped, where you checked it, and where you didn’t use it.
  • Explanation: can you walk us through your choices?
  • Ranked within your level. Build against Build, Scale against Scale.
07

After results

  • Everyone gets a report. Your score, what we checked and what to fix.
  • Shortlisted builders see open roles and apply only to the ones they choose.
  • Companies see your report only if you apply to them.
  • Working right now? Your employer is never told.
08

Fair play

  • Copied or shared code means you are out.
  • Someone else taking your interview means you are out.
  • One account per person. Duplicates are removed.
  • Our decision on scores is final. You can ask for a re-check within 48 hours of results.
