I AM NOT PROFICIENT IN CODING, BUT, I HAVE SOME VALUABLE IDEAS THAT I WOULD LIKE TO SHOWCASE. CAN I BE PART OF THIS HACKATHON?
You are most welcome to attend. There will be a lot of registrants with coding experience who will be looking for team mates.
CAN I FORM MY OWN TEAM? IS THERE ANY LIMITATION IN TEAM STRUCTURE?
Yes, we encourage organizing your own team. A team size of 3 to 4 is ideal. Please note that everyone in the team should have registered to attend the event.
ARE WE SUPPOSED TO USE ONLY THE DATASETS AVAILABLE IN DATA.GOV.IN FOR THIS HACKATHON?
Not necessarily. If you can build interesting ideas/apps around the existing datasets provided by DARPG that is great. But you are welcome to build apps, which are beyond the datasets available but provide solution for the stated problem statements.
CAN I SUBMIT ALREADY DEVELOPED WORK AS AN ENTRY?
No. Previously developed content is not permitted.
CAN I USE ANY PLATFORM OR TECHNOLOGY FOR DEVELOPING THE APPLICATIONS?
Yes, you are encouraged to use any tool/platform that you are comfortable with. However, every individual is responsible for ensuring that any tool/library used is licensed appropriately and does not have any violation of terms of use as indicated by the provider/author.
DO WE HAVE TO COMPLETE A WORKING APPLICATION OR JUST A PROTOTYPE FOR THE DAY?
While it would be good to see as many functional applications as possible, the ideas do carry a good weightage. It is recommended that you take an idea to a working prototype. This will help others (including the respective authorities) understand your idea better.
