FAQ
- Who can be on my team?
- Anyone from MIT Manipal or Bangalore Campus may participate.
- How big can a team be?
- There is no cap on team size. Prizes are awarded per entry, not per person. One team can submit multiple entries.
- Are prizes guaranteed?
- No. Awards go to ideas that are genuinely strong and creative. If submissions are not up to standard, not every slot will be filled. If we get many standout ideas, the prize pool may grow.
