HULT Prize Competition

Hult Prize Competition was organized again in year 2021; the competition included virtual
and on-campus meet-ups. Mr. Humayun Shuja - Managing Director, Net Solutions was the
Chief Guest. The students participated in the form of teams in the Competition - they
presented their ideas to the judges.

Hult Prize Foundation was founded in 2010; its mission is to solve global social challenges
through crowdsourcing ideas and solutions from the world’s best and brightest students. Hult
Prize brings together brightest college and university students from around the globe to
focus on solving one of the world’s key social challenges and awards one million US dollars
in startup capital to the winner.

The program gives universities an opportunity to host a local Hult Prize event at its campus,
allowing the winning team to bypass the traditional application process and fast track their
idea through one of twenty-five plus regional final rounds of competition. The program
allows more students to compete, leading to more ideas and ultimately more startups.

In the competition, six teams participated; the team led by Ms. Ammara Taj won the
competition. The winning team will compete in the Regional Competition.
