Number of rounds
The competition will be held in two rounds: initial and final.
| Initial Round | Date | 21st of December 2024 |
| Problem definition | Teams will receive a real-world raw dataset and are expected to clean, analyze, and create a basic predictive model using machine learning and business intelligence techniques. | |
| Selection process | Preliminary selection will be based on the outcomes of the off-campus challenge. Teams will be ranked based on the methodology they followed and the results of the challenge, and the top 8 teams will be invited to the final round. | |
| Evaluation criteria | Based on the performance and the approach used to build the predictive model. | |
| Final Round | Date | 18th of January 2025 |
| Problem definition | Based on the problem given by the panel | |
| Selection process | At the final round, each team must develop a working model within 10 hours for a given challenge, which will be assessed by an independent panel of judges. | |
| Evaluation criteria | Based on the performance and the approach used to build the final model, within ten hours |
