All members of the team should be a part of the same institution/college (different campuses, if any, will be treated as a separate entity). However, you are allowed to team up with students in a different stream. For example: A team can consist of 2 CSE, 1 ECE and 1 Mechanical student, but they need to be a part of the same college.

Kodikon 3.0 is being organized by Team Embrione, the Official technical vertical under the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at PES University, Ring Road Campus, Bangalore, Karnataka. PES University is one of the country’s leading teaching and research universities. We are the number one university under the category of New Universities, under 5 years, in Karnataka State Universities Rating Framework (KSURF) 2019 published recently.

Each team needs to have 3 participants at least, and 4 participants at max.

All students actively enrolled at any engineering institute across India are allowed to participate in Kodikon 3.0.

If you love to code and have the desire to excel, you are more than welcome to participate in the hackathon.

Yes, all team members can login from their account and submit application.

All the members of the team need to be present at PES University, RR Campus, Bangalore for the entire duration of the hackathon on 4th and 5th November, 2023. It is a 24-hour overnight hackathon and the teams shall stay within the permissible limits of the college campus, during the course of the event.

Ideas are free, and so is the registration. You do not have to pay any fee to apply for the hackathon and make your idea submission. However, the shortlisted top 40 teams will be required to pay a nominal fee, which will be communicated further.

NO. In the interest of fairness, students should not be working on their projects before Kodikon 3.0 begins and we do not allow participants to work on pre-existing projects. There are strict protocols in place to ensure the same. However, you can familiarize yourself with all the tools and technologies you intend to use beforehand.

Please bring a valid university ID card, a signed parental consent form (will be shared) and a signed college authorization letter (for non-PES students). Carry your own laptops, chargers, and any hardware you will be using for your hack. Make sure to carry your own toiletries and other basic personal necessities. No firearms, weapons, alcohol, or illegal drugs are allowed on campus. A detailed code of conduct will be shared with you, if selected.

Yes, the organisers of Kodikon 3.0 will make all the suitable arrangements for breakfast, lunch, snacks and dinner on Day 1, as well as breakfast and lunch on Day 2. We will also be providing high speed Wi-Fi connectivity to all the participants. However, you are free to carry your own broadband/hotspot devices, for your convenience.

An expert panel of experienced mentors, professors and field professionals will review all the idea submissions made across the different themes, and shortlist the top 40 ideas, to attend the offline hackathon and work on their prototypes.

Of course, you can! We, at Embrione, believe in promoting the coding culture and boast of an excellent technical mentor support group. As long as you have an amazing idea and a passion for problem solving, YES, you can participate.
