Problem Statements (For 1st year students)
Problem Statement Description

AI-Powered Placement Build a placement portal where seniors can share their
Experience Portal interview experiences including tools used, preparation
strategies, and questions asked in their respective companies.
The platform should use AI to analyze these reviews and
generate customized preparation roadmaps for juniors based
on their target company or domain. This will help juniors get
structured, experience-based guidance tailored to their
placement goals.

Automated Portfolio Generator Develop a system where a user can upload or link their
resources such as GitHub, LinkedIn, résumé, research papers,
news articles, or social media profiles. The solution should
automatically analyze the content and generate a personalized
portfolio website that highlights the user’s achievements, skills,
and online presence in a structured, visually appealing format.

Location Aware Emergency Alert Develop a real-time, location-aware emergency alert system
System that ensures critical information reaches people the moment it’s
needed. During emergencies, timely communication can save
lives. While channels like SMS or email remain useful, they
often lack the speed and precise targeting required in critical
moments. Your challenge is to design and build a real-time alert
solution, preferably as a mobile app, that enables verified
authorities to broadcast urgent messages instantly to users
within a defined geographic area. The system must ensure
instant, reliable, and secure delivery, helping communities
respond faster and stay safer when it matters most.

Smart Attendance System with Develop a smart attendance system where students scan their
Facial Cross-Verification ID cards containing QR codes to mark attendance. The system
should cross-verify the scanned ID using the student’s
previously stored facial data, ensuring that the person scanning
the card matches the registered identity. The solution should
map QR information with corresponding facial data for accurate
verification and match the facial data in real-time.

Real-Time Smart Bus Tracking Design a real-time bus tracking application that enables users
System to monitor live bus locations, view routes, schedules, and
stops, and receive customizable alerts for delays or updates.
The system should feature an interactive map interface for
visualizing bus movements and planning commutes efficiently.
The solution is expected to implement reliable data
transmission from on-board GPS devices, ensuring seamless
real-time updates.

Automated Student Attendance Most colleges already use basic attendance portals, but these
Monitoring and Analytics System systems typically stop at data collection and offer little to no
actionable insights. Faculty and administrators still struggle to
identify patterns such as frequently absent students,
attendance trends across semesters, or classes with declining
participation. Build a solution on top of the existing attendance
data and transform it into useful reports and analytics. This
allows institutions to easily track which students are
consistently missing classes, spot irregularities, and make
informed academic or administrative decisions. By focusing on
insights rather than just data entry, the system adds real value
without disrupting current attendance workflows.
AI powered File Organizer Managing hundreds of scattered files, notes, PDFs, code, and
reports can quickly become messy and time-consuming. Your
task is to build an AI agent that can understand the content of
files and organize them automatically by topic, not just by name
or type. The agent should read file content, identify what each
file is about, and group related ones into folders like /AI/, /DSA/,
or /Projects/, keeping everything clean and easy to find.

Open Innovation The team must mention their proposed problem statement
clearly during registration.
The submitted Open Innovation problem statement will be
evaluated and considered only if it is equivalent to or better
than the provided problem statements.

Technologies (For 2nd year students)

Technology Description

WebRTC A technology that enables real-time audio, video, and data

sharing directly between browsers or apps without needing a
server in the middle. It’s widely used in video calls, online
gaming, and live streaming. Example: Zoom or Google Meet
uses WebRTC to connect participants in real-time.

Agentic AI AI that can autonomously make decisions, take actions, and

pursue goals with minimal human intervention. It’s used in
robotics, autonomous vehicles, and intelligent personal
assistants. Example: A self-driving car deciding its route in
real-time without human input.

Generative AI AI that creates new content like text, images, music, or code
based on patterns it has learned from data. It’s used in content
creation, design, and chatbots. Example: ChatGPT generating
a story or DALL·E creating an image from a text prompt.

CNCF (Cloud) Tools under the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF)
that help build, deploy, and manage cloud-native applications.
They’re used in container orchestration, monitoring, and
microservices management. Example: Docker, PostgresSQL,
Grafana, Redis etc.

Web3 A decentralized internet model using blockchain to give users

control over data, assets, and identity. It’s used in
cryptocurrencies, NFTs, and decentralized apps (dApps).
Example: MetaMask lets users interact with Ethereum-based
dApps without a central authority.

3D/AR/VR Technologies that create immersive visual experiences: 3D

models for realistic objects for healthcare, retail sectors AR
overlays digital content onto the real world, and VR creates
fully virtual environments. They’re used in gaming, education,
and simulations. Example: Pokémon Go (AR) overlays
creatures in the real world, while Oculus Quest (VR) offers a
fully virtual gaming experience.

RPC/RDP RPC (Remote Procedure Call) allows a program to execute a

function on a remote computer as if it were running locally,
commonly used in distributed systems and client-server
applications. For example, a blockchain wallet requesting
account balance from a node.
RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) lets users access and control
another computer over a network, widely used for IT support
 and remote work, such as operating a work PC from home. For
example, users collectively control a single remote desktop via
RDP, like a crowd playing a game together on one powerful
machine, similar to the “Reddit /r/plays” interactive sessions.

Computer Vision A field of AI that enables computers to interpret and understand

visual information from the world. It’s used in facial recognition,
self-driving cars, and medical imaging. Example: A security
camera detecting and alerting when an intruder enters a
restricted area.

Open Innovation The team must mention their proposed problem statement
using the unlisted technology clearly during registration.
Such entries will be considered if they are equally good to the
provided technologies.
