About the Hackathon
Hack the Future 2.0 is Kratos'26's flagship 24-hour hackathon, hosted by the Department of CSE at Easwari Engineering College. Student innovators from across the country form teams, pick a problem statement, and build a working prototype from scratch.
Build Fast, Build Real
Take an idea from a blank repo to a working demo in 24 hours, with mentors on hand.
Learn from the Best
Workshops and mentor rounds from engineers working on AI, fintech, and product at scale.
Real Prizes
Cash prizes, certificates, internship referrals, and incubation support for standout builds.
Problem Statements
Four challenges. Build something that works.
Context-Aware Conversational Processing and Personalized Voice
Text or speech in, contextual AI response, human review, then personalized voice output—not a generic synthetic voice.
Post-Visit Follow-Up Agent
After the visit: explain the prescription simply, auto-schedule follow-up calls, check adherence, summarize, and alert the clinic—without diagnosing or changing care.
Career Path Graph and Guidance Bot
Turn career stories into an interactive path graph; answer student goals with cited paths from the graph—never invented routes.
