Frequently Asked Questions

What is a hackathon?


A hackathon is where you turn your crazy ideas into real projects. We provide mentors, fun activities, speakers, workshops, friends, and so much more. You take care of hacking; we’ll take care of you.

How do I get there?


The event is held at the Sha & Anchor Kutchhi Engineering College Chembur, Mumbai. Its 5 minutes away from Deonar Bus Stop and 10 minutes walking from the Govandi Railway Station.

How can I ensure my Submission stands out?


Focus on clarity, originality, and the practical impact of your solution. Ensure your proposal is well-documented, and your model demonstrates a clear understanding of the deepfake challenge and an innovative approach to addressing it.

What criteria will the internal review and judging panels use?


Submissions will be evaluated based on their innovation, technical merit, potential for real-world application, and adherence to ethical guidelines. During the internal review, feedback will also consider the clarity of the presentation and the feasibility of the proposed solution.

Are there any specific technologies or programming languages required for the hackathon?


There are no mandatory technologies or languages; however, we encourage the use of widely recognized and accessible tools to ensure that your solutions can be readily understood and evaluated by our review team and judges.

How will the final presentations be structured?


Finalists will be given a set time to present their solutions, followed by a Q&A session with the judges. We recommend focusing on the key aspects of your solution, including its novelty, the problem it solves, how it works, and its potential impact.

What happens if my model is selected for inclusion on TrustTrace.net.in?


You will be contacted by our team to discuss the next steps, including any necessary adjustments to your model and the details of how you will be credited on the platform. This inclusion is a testament to the significance of your contribution to the field of digital security.

How will the hybrid final round work?


Finalists will have the option to present their solutions either in-person at the designated venue or virtually through a live video link. The hybrid format is designed to maximize participation, allowing attendees and participants to engage from anywhere in the world.

What technical requirements should remote participants be aware of for the final round?


Remote participants will need a stable internet connection, a webcam, and a microphone for their presentations. Further technical details and guidelines will be provided to ensure a smooth experience for all participants and attendees.

Will remote presentations be at a disadvantage compared to in-person presentations?


Absolutely not. The judging criteria are designed to ensure fairness and equity, regardless of the presentation format. The quality of the idea, the solution's effectiveness, and its potential impact are the primary evaluation factors.

How can attendees participate in the hybrid event?


Attendees can join the final round presentations and awards ceremony either by attending in-person, subject to venue capacity, or by logging into our live-streaming platform. Detailed instructions and access links will be provided ahead of the event.
