The registration for the event costs Rs. 3499 and Rs. 5999 for Junior and Senior respectively. After registration, the participants get the online Coding course worth Rs. 10000 for free. The participants can learn the coding and then submit their project video online. The deadline for the first round of submission is 31st December 2020.

Additionally, to grasp an edge on the competition, participants can interact one-on-one live with expert teachers throughout their course. The experts will be available from 10 am to 8 pm every day except Mondays.
