About The Hackathon
The Great Bengaluru Hackathon is a groundbreaking multi-campus innovation event that unites five premier engineering institutions across Bengaluru. As one of the largest student hackathons in the region, we bring together passionate developers, designers, and problem-solvers in an immersive hackathon experience that spans across multiple locations simultaneously.
Problem Statements
- Risk-Based Proctoring System for Online Assessments: Build a risk-based proctoring system that ensures academic integrity in online assessments without relying on video surveillance. The system should analyse non-invasive behavioural inputs like mouse movements, keystroke patterns, and activity shifts to calculate a dynamic risk score. It should proactively address flagged risks while maintaining a seamless experience for both candidates and administrators.
- Multilingual Conversational Loan Advisor: Build a multilingual conversational AI assistant that helps users understand loan eligibility, guides them through the loan application process, and provides basic financial literacy tips. The assistant should be able to interact with users via voice or text and support multiple languages.
- Solving Peak-Hour Demand Imbalance & Reducing Ride Denials: One of the biggest challenges in urban mobility is the imbalance between supply and demand during peak hours. Riders often struggle to find autos when they need them the most, while drivers may reject trips due to traffic, distance, or fare concerns. This leads to lost earnings for drivers and frustration for customers, ultimately affecting Namma Yatri’s growth and brand trust.
