About
Battle of Build is an innovation-driven hackathon and prototype-building competition organized under SkillSphere’26 by the Entrepreneurship Cell of Lakshmi Narain College of Technology Excellence in
Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh. This competition challenges students to solve real-world problems through creativity, technology, and innovation, culminating in pitching their prototypes to an expert judging panel. Unlike traditional coding competitions, Battle of Build emphasizes idea execution, innovation, presentation, and practical problem-solving. Who Should Apply This competition is ideal for undergraduate and postgraduate students from all branches and colleges, whether they are developers, designers, innovators, entrepreneurs, or general problem solvers. Participants can join individually or in teams of up to four members. Format & Timeline The competition is structured in two rounds. Round 1: Prototype Submission (Online) requires registered teams to choose one of ten provided problem statements and develop a solution from home. Submissions include a 6-7 slide presentation (PPT/PDF) covering problem understanding, proposed solution, features, technology, market impact, and future scope, along with a maximum 3-minute prototype demonstration video. The top 12 teams will be shortlisted based on innovation, execution, presentation quality, feasibility, and creativity. Round 2: Final Pitching Round (Offline/Live Presentation) will see the shortlisted teams present their solutions directly to the judges. This round includes a live idea presentation, prototype demonstration, and a Q&A session, with evaluation based on innovation, problem-solving approach, technical execution, feasibility, user impact, and presentation skills. Prizes Winners and runner-ups will receive Trophies, Certificates, exciting goodies, surprise gifts, and premium subscriptions to various platforms. Finalists will also receive premium subscriptions. Eligibility Open to undergraduate and postgraduate students from all branches and colleges. Participants can join individually or in teams, with a maximum team size of 4. All submitted work must be original; plagiarism will lead to disqualification. Submissions after the deadline will not be accepted.
