Your guide
How this works Student
You build the thing. Everything else in this portal exists to get your team to a submission worth nominating.
What to do, in order
-
Set up your profile
Go →
Pick the skills you actually have. The matching engine ranks problem statements against them, so a thin profile gets you thin suggestions.
-
Form your team
Go →
Exactly 6 students, at least 1 woman - both are hard SIH rules, checked when you submit. Create a team and add members, or ask to join a public one.
-
Record everyone's gender
Go →
The female-member rule is verified from this field. A team that skips it looks eligible right up until it is blocked.
-
Pick your problem statements
Go →
Rank three. Each problem has a limited number of KCT team slots, so choosing early matters more than choosing perfectly.
-
Talk to a real user
The single strongest signal in a submission. Someone who lives with the problem - a farmer, a nurse, a ward clerk - not a survey of your classmates.
-
Write and submit
Go →
Explain the problem in your own words, then your solution, then what makes it different. Save often; you can keep editing until you submit.
-
Answer the reviewers
Go →
If it comes back as 'changes requested', that is not a rejection - it is the fastest route to being selected. Fix it and resubmit.
