About this competition
UX Imperium is a cutting-edge, two-phased UX design hackathon organised by D’Code NSUT, the technical society of Netaji Subhas University of Technology (NSUT), Delhi. This competition pushes the boundaries of user experience and creative problem-solving — it's not just about making a beautiful app, but about building a robust, scalable design system under pressure.
Who Should Apply Open to students and early-career designers, developers, and product enthusiasts across India. Teams of 2–4 members. Individual participants can form teams during registration.
Format & Timeline The competition unfolds in two phases:
- Round 1 (Online): Teams architect a digital solution for a selected problem statement. Submissions must be made via public, view-only links (e.g., Figma). Presentation decks must be in PDF or Google Slides format.
- Round 2 (On-Campus Finale): Shortlisted teams must be physically present at the NSUT Main Campus in South West Delhi. They will face advanced, real-time UX challenges and unexpected design constraints under extreme time pressure.
Judging Criteria Judging is based on creativity, usability, scalability of the design system, and ability to handle constraints. AI tools may only be used for basic assets (icons, minor illustrations). Generating entire screens, layouts, or written content via AI is strictly prohibited and will lead to disqualification.
Prizes
- Winner: ₹7,000
- 1st Runner Up: ₹5,000
- 2nd Runner Up: ₹3,000 Total cash prize pool: ₹15,000. All winners receive certificates.

What You Get
Winning teams take home cash prizes from a ₹15,000 pool: ₹7,000 for the winner, ₹5,000 for 1st runner-up, and ₹3,000 for 2nd runner-up. All winners also receive certificates. Prize money is awarded based on judged performance across the two-round competition — an online design submission round followed by an on-campus finale at NSUT — rather than as project funding, so teams keep full ownership of their work and owe nothing back.
