A mobile app homepage that changes its layout and weather details based on user types like fitness enthusiasts, commuters, or travelers.
Ministry of Earth Sciences (MoES) · India Meteorological Department · Software
Signing in saves it for your whole team — everyone on your invite link sees the same two entries. Anything you shortlisted while signed out comes with you.
Decomposed from what the description asks for. Nothing added.
User Persona Selector
Allows the user to select their specific persona category to personalize the homepage.
Health Dashboard
Displays air quality, pollen count, UV index, and humidity for health-conscious users.
Fitness Module
Shows sunrise times, running hours, wind speed, and heat alerts for outdoor workouts.
Traveler Module
Provides saved destinations, severe weather flight alerts, and packing suggestions.
Commuter Integration
Combines weather data with traffic updates, visibility, and storm or fog alerts.
Both columns are read off the brief's own wording. Nothing here is inferred from the ministry's name.
The jury will evaluate how well the homepage adapts its displayed weather metrics and suggestions to match each distinct user persona listed in the description.
A jury can still ask about these. Decide them deliberately rather than by accident.
Generated from the brief's own wording and the competition's published rules — never from a guess about what this ministry prefers.
Whether the user profiles require user accounts and login?
The brief never answers this, so a panel will. Whatever you decide, say it the same way twice.
Which specific APIs should be used for traffic or air quality data?
The brief never answers this, so a panel will. Whatever you decide, say it the same way twice.
Has any part of this been shown at a previous event, hackathon or college project?
The guidelines are explicit: your solution must not have appeared in any previous event or programme, of any sort. A recycled project is what a team under time pressure reaches for.
The brief asks for user persona selector. How would you build that?
Decoded from SIH26076 itself — Allows the user to select their specific persona category to personalize the homepage. The brief asks for it by name.
Each one is quoted from a gap in the brief, not a guess about your team.
No measurable target
The description lists different user types and data points to show, but sets no measurable performance target.
No specific user named
The description lists groups of people like commuters and beachgoers, but never names a specific individual end user.
What the organisers attached, and what the brief assumes you can get.
Same organisation, same year. Reading two of theirs tells you more about what they care about than reading one.
Pick what you are about to do and copy the prompt. It carries the organisers' own wording, the constraints they never spell out, and an instruction not to invent requirements they never set.
Who has this problem, what already exists, and what you would have to find out.
The brief asks for health dashboard. How would you build that?

Where does your data come from — a published source, one you collect, or one you generate?
No dataset is attached to this problem statement, so sourcing it is part of the work and nobody told you that.
Why not use what already exists? Name the closest thing to this that is already running.
A team that has not named the alternative themselves is answering this for the first time in the room.
Which single thing will you demonstrate end to end, start to finish, with nothing skipped?
Ours, not a rule: a narrow thing that fully works survives questioning better than a broad thing that half works. If nobody on the team can name it, that is the finding.
Show me this working: the jury will evaluate how well the homepage adapts its displayed weather metrics and suggestions to match each distinct user persona listed in the description.
This is the evaluator read for your problem statement, decoded from the brief's own wording.
