Why this challenge
Answers are easy to get now. The thinking still has to be yours.
This challenge is built to exercise the part only you can do.
Gemini can
- Gather facts in seconds
- Summarise long reports and data
- Suggest first drafts and ideas
Only you can
- Choose the problem worth solving
- Question what you find
- Shape a solution that works on the ground in Bharat
For students
Think beyond the syllabus. Take a real problem from your theme, test it from every side with Gemini, and build a solution you would stand behind in an interview or in front of Google.
For faculty
Think about tomorrow's classroom. Work out where Gemini sharpens teaching and research, where it should not replace the effort, and show your students what thoughtful use of AI looks like.

Who can take part?
Students and faculty of colleges and universities in India who are 18 or older. There is nothing to install and no coding is needed: all you need is a phone or laptop. Register with your official college email ID.
How do tracks and themes work?
When you register, pick your track (student or faculty) and a theme. All five of your Challenge Day questions are on that theme, and each track is judged on its own.
What happens on Challenge Day?
Your five questions open here at 00:00 IST on Saturday 12 December, at the same moment for everyone, and nobody sees them before. Sign in with the email you registered with, answer with Gemini in text or as an infographic, and submit before 23:59 IST. You can update your answers until then.
How are entries judged, and who wins?
We reward thinking, not word count. Every valid entry (on time, all five questions answered) is scored on how well you understood the problem, how smartly you used Gemini, how practical and original your ideas are, and how clearly and responsibly you present them. Our panel chooses the top 50 students and top 50 faculty, who are invited to Google's office in Bengaluru to present their solutions. Google then picks the top 10 winners, who each get a Google Fitbit Air, Google goodies and a winner's certificate.
What will I get by email?
Your registration ID as soon as you register. It is also shown on screen; if you cannot find the email, check spam or register again with the same email to see it. Then links to the weekly prep webinars with the Google team from 23 November, and by 22 December a certificate with a QR code anyone can verify.
Is my data safe?
We use your details only to run the challenge, as set out in the privacy notice. With your college account, your Gemini chats aren't reviewed by humans or used to train AI models.
