Case Converge 1.0 — Online Case Competition for College Students, ₹6,000 Prizes — Frequently Asked Questions

It is the first edition of an online case competition organised jointly by 180 Degrees Consulting Sri Venkateswara College (180DC SVC) and 180 Degrees Consulting Kamla Nehru College (180DC KN), in collaboration with Languify. Participants are given a real-world business problem to solve, submit their solution online, and the finalists then present live to a jury panel.

Any college student can take part, regardless of course, stream, or year of study. There is no restriction on which institution you study at, and teams are allowed to mix members from different colleges and different disciplines.

A team may have 1 to 4 members. You can compete on your own or put together a group, and inter-college as well as interdisciplinary combinations are both accepted.

The 1st prize is ₹3,000 in cash, the 2nd prize is ₹2,000, and the 3rd prize is ₹1,000, making a total cash pool of ₹6,000. Each of the three winning positions also comes with a Pre-Placement Interview (PPI) with Languify and additional prizes worth ₹15,000.

No. Case Converge 1.0 is a case competition, not an investment or incubation programme, so there is no equity component at all. The rewards on offer are cash prizes, a Pre-Placement Interview with Languify, and the additional prize bundle.

Registration closes on July 25, 2026. The competition is conducted online from July 18 to August 1, 2026, with the case submission round followed by a live online finalist presentation round.

It runs entirely online. Participants work on and submit their case solutions remotely, and the finalist teams present to the jury in a live online presentation round.

PPI stands for Pre-Placement Interview. It is offered by Languify, the AI-powered communication skills platform partnering on this competition, and it is awarded to the teams finishing in the top three positions.

Judging focuses on three things: the strength of your strategic thinking, the analytical depth of your work, and the clarity of the recommendations you put forward. Finalist teams present these to a jury panel in the live online round.

No. Those registrations apply to funding schemes for registered companies; Case Converge 1.0 is a student case competition, and eligibility is based on being a college student, not on holding any business registration.

Registration is handled through the Unstop listing for Case Converge 1.0. Complete your registration on that page before the July 25, 2026 deadline to secure your place in the competition.
