Day 1 of a Smart India Hackathon (SIH-2026)
Inauguration & Setup: Teams arrive, set up workstations, log into networks, and check-in with coordinators or the SPOC (Single Point of Contact).
Problem Statement Lock-in: Final confirmation of your chosen theme, ID, and core feature requirements.
The Coding Sprint Begins: Moving straight from whiteboards and architecture diagrams to writing the first lines of code.
Mentor Rounds: Industry and academic mentors visit tables to review your logic, point out blind spots, and check feasibility.
Late-Night Push: Continuous development, resolving initial bugs, and locking down core database or UI components before Day 2 evaluations.
Key Focus Areas for Day 2
Rapid Prototyping: Finalise core features of your software or hardware build. Skip non-essential design elements and prioritise a working core loop.
Debugging & Integration: Fix broken API calls, merge distinct module branches, and ensure stable data flow across your application stack.
Mentor Feedback: Integrate inputs from industry and academic evaluators who review progress mid-way through the schedule.
Pitch Deck Preparation: Start drafting slides that clearly outline your problem statement, novelty, feasibility, and scaling strategy.
