• Each team has 4 members.
• During registration, teams select 3 SDG goals (Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary) associated with their project.
• Round 2 shortlisted teams have to pay ₹350 as entry fee.

Event Zones

1. SDG Spin Wheel Zone
• The Team Lead is blindfolded and takes the first spin (free).
• If the spin lands on any one of their 3 chosen SDGs, their SDG Streak begins.
• They receive a Green SDG Card with that SDG number.
• If the spin does not land on one of their chosen goals, the team must proceed to the Coding Arena before attempting another spin.

2. Coding Arena
• Teams solve a coding challenge (difficulty scales per round).
• The submission is evaluated by organizers.
• If all test cases pass → the team earns a Yellow SDG Card.
• The Yellow Card can be exchanged for another spin attempt at the SDG Spin Wheel Zone.
• This process continues until they unlock one of their chosen SDGs and their streak officially starts.

3. Presentation Zone
Teams present their projects to the jury in two rounds:
a. Abstract Round – Present problem statement, SDG relevance, and proposed solution.
b. Prototype Round – Demonstrate working model/prototype with real-world applicability.

SDG Streak & Card Collection:
• Once the SDG Streak starts, teams aim to collect all 17 SDG Green Cards.
• For every new spin attempt (after the first), teams must complete another coding challenge.
• More SDGs collected = More points + higher ranking advantage.

Scoring & Evaluation:
1. SDG Green Card Collection – Points awarded per unique SDG collected.
2. Project Presentation – Scored on impact, innovation, and feasibility aligned with SDGs.
3. Final Bonus – Teams completing all 17 SDGs gain a streak boost applied to final rankings.
