About this Competition

HackEVL is a two-phase innovation challenge for the students of SJEC that empowers students to pitch bold ideas, build impactful solutions, and demonstrate technical excellence.

Participants can choose from five exciting tracks:

1. MeshWave – Decentralized P2P Systems & Mesh Networking: Explore resilient, borderless connectivity through peer-to-peer communication, dynamic routing, and disaster-ready mesh networks.

2. EmotionForge – Emotion-Aware AI & Adaptive Experiences: Build technology that senses human emotions and adapts responses, from chatbots to AR/VR and mood-driven recommenders.

3. SentinelX – Next-Gen Defense Intelligence & Cyber Resilience: Design tools to predict, monitor, and defend against evolving cyber and physical security threats using AI and real-time intelligence.

4. AetherMind – Generative AI Agents & Autonomous Systems: Push the limits of autonomy by experimenting with multi-agent AI systems, self-governing task managers, and GenAI-powered orchestration.

5. Open Innovation – No Boundaries, Pure Creativity: A wildcard track where participants can propose any futuristic solution that blends creativity with real-world applicability.

The hackathon culminates with shortlisted teams pitching and demoing their solutions in front of industry experts. The winner takes home the prize pool and gets a direct opportunity for internships with Evlogia.
