Datathon

Data science and analytics marathon.

About

Maximum 200 Participants! Datathon is a data-focused competition where participants work with a research-related dataset to extract insights and build AI-driven solutions. Participants must take a raw, real-world dataset through the complete data science pipeline from cleaning and preprocessing to analysis and model building, reflecting the actual challenges faced by data scientists and AI researchers.

Eligibility

Open for all university students.

Rules

1. Participants must work only with the datasets and resources permitted in the official problem statement. 2. External datasets may be used only if the competition brief explicitly allows them. 3. Attempting to access, identify, reconstruct or obtain hidden test labels is strictly prohibited. 4. AI assistants, libraries, pretrained models or public notebooks may be used only as permitted by the competition brief. 5. Participants must submit the required prediction file, notebook/code, report or other requested files in the exact specified format. 6. If a leaderboard is used, displayed rankings are provisional until final evaluation and integrity checks are completed. 7. Participants must be able to explain and reproduce their submitted approach if requested by the judges.
