Bharat Idea League: Prayagraj Round at MNNIT

Bharat Idea League’s ideathon and startup competition in Prayagraj at MNNIT opens on 20 October 2026. Students, young people and innovators in and around Prayagraj will enter online, get their idea scored out of 100, and compete for ₹10,000.

How the Prayagraj round works

You enter online: write your idea in your own words and answer eight short questions — about 20 minutes. You pay the entry fee only once you have written your idea and chosen to submit it.

Every idea is scored out of 100 on six parameters — Problem Clarity, Market Opportunity, Feasibility, Competition Reality, Revenue Logic and Founder Fit — and you see the full report behind your score as soon as it is ready.

The Prayagraj jury — faculty from MNNIT, founders and people from industry — reads the entries without names or colleges and picks the top three, who win ₹10,000, ₹5,000 and ₹2,000, awarded in person at MNNIT.

From Prayagraj to the National Summit

Prayagraj’s top three join the top three from every other city. A national panel picks the best five, who pitch to investors and leaders from industry and education at the National Whiteboard Summit in Delhi.

Who can enter

Any student — at school, college or university — and any young person or innovator. Enter on your own or as a team under one registration; one registration per email in a round. You don’t need a startup, a company or any code — an idea is enough.

Every entrant also receives The Founder’s Starter Pack — four short ebooks — whether they win or not.
