What UniHub Is:

• A one-stop digital platform for colleges and universities.
• Combines essential campus features into a single app: maps, attendance, hostels, events, clubs, and more.
• Designed to simplify student life while reducing administrative workload.

Problems Students Face Without UniHub:

• New students easily get lost on campus and waste time finding classes.
• Attendance surprises, realizing too late that they are falling short.
• Hostel residents struggle with room allocation confusion and delayed cleaning/maintenance.
• Students miss out on important events and club activities due to scattered announcements.
• Staff and service workers face overwork and mismanagement because requests aren’t organized.

What Problem It Solves & How:

• Interactive Campus Map: Helps students and visitors reach the right place instantly.
• Smart Attendance Tracker: Sends alerts before attendance drops dangerously low.
• Hostel Management & Clean-up Requests: Digital requests reduce manual workload for staff.
• Centralized Event & Club Updates: One place for all registrations and announcements.
• All-in-One Hub: Instead of multiple apps, posters, and WhatsApp groups, UniHub centralizes everything.

Who Benefits From UniHub

• Students - Organized, stress-free, always updated.
• Faculty - Time saved on attendance and communication.
• Hostel Staff - Efficient task management, less workload.
• Clubs & Societies - Better visibility, easier student engagement.
• Entire Campus - A more connected, smart ecosystem.

Why Use This App:

It’s Monday morning. A fresher, rushing to class, ends up in the wrong building, attends half a lecture on “Mechanics” before realizing they were supposed to be in “economics.” In panic, they run across campus, only to reach late and lose attendance. Later that day, they miss a dance club signup because the notice was buried in some WhatsApp group. By evening, their hostel room is still not cleaned because they couldn’t reach the staff.

Now, imagine having UniHub, a map guiding you to the exact classroom, a real-time attendance tracker, event reminders, and a room clean-up request button in your pocket. No more wasted time, missed opportunities, or unnecessary stress.

UniHub isn’t just another app – it’s the future of campus life, all in one place.

Education is often called the greatest equalizer, yet millions of children worldwide still lack access to quality tutoring or academic support outside school hours. Current solutions, like private tuition or online courses, are either expensive or require stable internet access, which many low-income families cannot afford. Free resources exist, but they are not personalized, and students who are already struggling often find them overwhelming.

My idea is to develop a Community Micro-Tutoring Platform—a hybrid system that connects local college students, volunteers, and retired teachers with underprivileged schoolchildren for short, focused tutoring sessions. Unlike traditional tutoring that demands long hours and high fees, micro-tutoring would focus on 15–30 minute modules that clarify specific doubts or topics. Sessions could happen through a lightweight app (with offline functionality), community centers, or even SMS/voice calls for families without smartphones.

Gap in Current Market:

• Mainstream tutoring apps like Byju’s or Khan Academy assume high digital literacy and consistent internet.
• NGOs often run education programs, but lack a scalable system for micro-interventions.
• Parents in low-income families cannot afford consistent tuition, leaving children unsupported.

Who Benefits:

Students: Get personalized help on demand without cost barriers.

Volunteers/College Students: Gain teaching experience, small stipends, or community credits.

Communities: Build stronger educational support networks.

Why This Matters to Me:
Growing up, I saw classmates fall behind simply because they didn’t have someone at home to help with homework. A small doubt left unsolved could snowball into lifelong academic struggles. This problem is deeply personal, and I believe micro-tutoring can bridge that gap.

Technically, the platform would use AI-assisted scheduling, low-data video calls, and offline caching of learning modules—making it accessible and affordable

Campus-only Student Ride Sharing

Theme
Save on travel costs, make friends, and get around campus smarter — rides booked by students, for students.

Problem
Many students waste a great deal of time and money on transportation: daily commutes, round-trip travel between campus sites, and the occasional taxi ride to an event all add up. Public transit is slow or roundabout, taxis are expensive, and ride-share apps in general aren't built for campus schedules or student budgets.

Solution
CampusRide is a secure, user-friendly ride-sharing platform for students in your university alone. Students list seats for frequent rides or occasional trips (classes, labs, events), riders search by route and time, and matches are made on convenience, availability, and cost-sharing. Cars and bikes are accommodated, in-app messaging, safety verifications (university email verification), and fast payment splitting are included.

Major Features
Route-based matching for frequent commutes and one-off trips
Schedule & repeat-ride options (daily commute, weekly labs)
Cost-splitting within the app and voluntary cashless payments
Verification of profiles through university credentials and easy ratings
Event-mode for single large events (sports, concerts, orientation)

Target Users
Commuting undergraduate and graduate students who live off-campus or ride between different campus locations. Suitable for those with cars who want to save money and for riders looking for cheaper, quicker alternatives.

MVP / How to Validate (Idea --> Measure --> Learn)

MVP
A minimal web or mobile app for posting rides, searching by route/time, and verifying matches (start on one campus).

Measure
Rides posted, verified rides/matches per week, repeat users, avg cost saved per rider.

Try and find out whether students prefer daily scheduled commutes or event/one-off sharing. If daily commutes are the norm, highlight repeating-ride scheduling and driver rewards; if events are more common, highlight event-mode and discovery.
CampusRide is cost-saving, more convenient, and it encourages community and it's safer and more relevant than ride apps in general because it's limited to authenticated campus members.

The Problem

For the majority of students, the actual problem isn't listening to lectures—it's revising well. We spend hours on end re-writing notes, scouring through PDFs, or scrolling through recordings and ending up unprepared for exams. Current edtech apps address test preparation or pre-curated content, yet they never address the day-to-day issue of making our own study notes more convenient to study from.

The Idea

FlashNote is a machine learning application that converts lecture content into flashcards and brief summaries in mere seconds. Students can submit handwritten notes, PDFs, or recordings and FlashNote will produce study material automatically. It aims to reduce time wastage and enable students to concentrate on real understanding instead of constant note-taking.

Market Gap

Existing solutions are too generic (general AI chatbots) or too costly (premium edtech platforms). None are tailored to students who require quick, trustworthy aids for revision. FlashNote bridges this gap with easy-to-use, student-centric features such as:

Instant note summarization

Auto-generated flashcards for remembering

Quiz-style testing for solidifying memory

Multi-language support for inclusive classrooms

Smart reminders for spaced revision

Who are the beneficiaries?

College students studying for exams

Learners who take notes but seldom review them

• Students struggling with time management and organization

•Anyone wanting to revise smarter, not longer

Why This Matters to Me

I’ve faced the same struggles—late nights rewriting notes, wasting time, and still feeling stressed before exams. Learning about AI showed me there’s a better way. With FlashNote, even small gains in efficiency can free up hours and reduce anxiety. This isn’t about replacing effort, but about making every hour of study count more.

One problem I’ve seen again and again is how messy it is to keep track of health records. If you’ve ever had to shuffle through old files, look for a lost prescription, or try to remember the date of your last doctor’s visit, you know how stressful it can be. When it comes to health, every small detail matters — the date a medicine expires, the timing of a follow-up appointment, or even a vaccination record that might be needed years later. Yet, all this information is often scattered across paper slips, SMS reminders, and hospital portals. Many hospitals and clinics offer their own patient portals, but these systems usually operate in isolation, without any interconnection or data sharing. As a result, patients are left juggling multiple platforms, each containing only a fragment of their medical history

My idea is an app that brings all of this together in one safe and simple place. It would store your medical history and documents, upcoming appointments, prescriptions (with alerts when they’re about to expire), and even lab results. Instead of relying on memory or a pile of papers, you’d upload the documents to an app and see everything clearly laid out. It could even send gentle reminders for doctor visits or when it’s time to refill medication. Existing solutions are too fragmented — hospitals keep their own portals, pharmacies might send reminders only for medicines bought there, and most health apps focus on fitness rather than actual medical care. What’s missing is a tool that truly centers the patient, making their health information accessible and organized. 

Who benefits from this?

• Students – Young adults who are just beginning to live independently often struggle to keep track of healthcare information. Between busy schedules and limited experience, they may forget appointments, misplace prescriptions, or fail to track medication dates. The app would help them stay organized and take responsibility for their own health.

• Elders – Older people frequently deal with multiple prescriptions, regular check-ups, and long-term health conditions. Managing all of this on paper can be overwhelming. The app would simplify their routine by sending reminders, keeping records in one place, and reducing the risk of missed doses or lost reports.

• Parents – Families often juggle the healthcare needs of multiple members, from children’s vaccination schedules to grandparents’ prescriptions. The app would act as a central hub where parents can manage appointments, prescriptions, and records for everyone, making family healthcare far less stressful.

• Healthcare facilities – Doctors, clinics, and hospitals benefit too. With access to a patient’s consolidated history, diagnoses become more accurate, time is saved during consultations, and risks of duplicate tests or overlooked conditions are reduced.

I believe this could make a huge difference in patients lives and the health care system. Patients would feel more in control, doctors would get a clearer picture, and families would feel less stressed. Sometimes, good health is not just about treatment, but about staying organized — and that’s what this app would help achieve.

Problem:

For beginners and early freelancers who are eager to see some work but can't access large-scale projects, platforms like Fiverr and Upwork demand portfolios, repeat customer ratings, and ability to handle bigger commitments. For beginners, this is daunting. While dozens of small but essential jobs—i.e., a quick resume tweak, debugging a small code issue, designing a social graphic, translating a short paragraph—get left undone because they're deemed "too small" for commercial freelancing sites. That leaves students with nowhere to work and customers with nowhere to turn quickly and affordably. Humanize

Solution: killHub bridges this gap by offering a niche micro-job marketplace for services worth between ₹50 and ₹500. The concept is simple: speedy work, speedy payment.

For students and freelancers: killHub provides minimum-barrier access to freelancing. They are asked to bring neither large portfolios nor long-term assignments—just a micro-skill that can deliver. A student who is conversant with elementary-level knowledge of Photoshop can create a poster; a coder can debug a code snippet; a language student can translate a paragraph or two. The website guides them with working out skills in real situations, receiving ratings, and confidence and receiving pocket money.

For clients: Small enterprises, starters, and individuals all carry small but urgent tasks mainstream freelancers don't bother with. killHub offers them a one-stop-shop: a streamlined pool of micro-skill experts who can do things fast —within a matter of hours— and at a tenth of the customary cost. The clients save time, money, and frustrations.

How it works: The clients enter work orders or simply pick from prescreened micro-services. Payment is done through a secure wallet inside an app, and money is unlocked when a job is completed. Rating and reviewing help to enforce accountability. Over time, algorithms link up the right freelancer with the right micro-task to further streamline the process.

Business Model: killHub will operate based on a commission system and will have a minimal platform fee (i.e., 10–15%) for each transaction. The number of micro-transactions is large enough to justify the minimal value per-job and generate steady revenue streams. The platform can scale up in the long term by offering premium services such as skill badges, profile verification, or priority listings to freelancers. Moreover, partnerships with colleges, training institutes, and ed-tech platforms can bring onboard bulk students who already desire to earn part-time.

Impact: For freelancers, killHub lowers access to the gig economy at minimal cost and lets them earn confidence and funds from day one. For clients, it is the one-stop shop for inexpensive, speedy, and reliable micro-jobs. In the long run, killHub can become the "Fiverr for students", making the gig economy less exclusive, more accessible, and efficient.

Problem

Campus life is fast-paced and demanding. Students are constantly balancing academics, extracurricular activities, and personal commitments, which often leaves them with little time for everyday essentials. Tasks such as doing laundry, getting meals,become stressful because of tight schedules and the lack of convenient access to these services within campus. Many students are forced to rely on external vendors, which not only consumes additional time but also comes at a higher cost. This creates a recurring problem where students sacrifice either their productivity or their comfort just to manage routine necessities.

Solution

To address this, my idea is an On-Demand Campus Services App — a one-stop platform designed specifically for students. Through this app, students can order essential services such as laundry, food delivery,without disrupting their schedules. Meals can be delivered directly to their hostels or even served to them on campus, while laundry and other services can be scheduled with just a few taps. This system eliminates waiting time, reduces dependency on costly external vendors, and ensures that students can focus more on their academics and personal growth. Ultimately, the app provides convenience, affordability, and efficiency, making campus life smoother and more student-friendly.

 🚲 CampusRide: Bicycle & E-Scooter Rentals for Students

The Problem

Many college students, especially those from outside the city or state, don’t own vehicles. Public transport is either irregular, overcrowded, or not available inside campuses. Walking long distances daily between hostels, classes, libraries, and nearby markets is tiring and time-consuming. Students need an affordable, eco-friendly, and convenient mobility solution.

💡The Idea

CampusRide is a bicycle and e-scooter rental service made especially for college students. Using a simple mobile app or student ID card, users can unlock bicycles or scooters stationed around campus. They can ride them for short trips — from hostels to classrooms, the metro station, or nearby shops — and then drop them off at another CampusRide dock.

It’s like a student-focused Ola/Uber, but with eco-friendly vehicles.

🌍 Why It Works

 Affordable: Students pay a small hourly fee or monthly subscription.

Eco-Friendly: Promotes green transport, reducing campus traffic and pollution.

Convenient: Vehicles are always available on campus, no need to buy or maintain one.

Community-Focused: Designed only for students, making it safer and more trusted.

💰 Pricing Model (Profitable & Scalable)

Daily Rentals:

Bicycle – ₹80/day

E-Scooter – ₹250/day

Weekly Pass:

Bicycle – ₹400/week

E-Scooter – ₹1,200/week

Monthly Subscription:

Bicycle – ₹1,200/month

E-Scooter – ₹3,500/month

Security Deposit (refundable): 

Bicycle – ₹500

E-Scooter – ₹2,000

💲Extra Revenue Streams

 Penalty Charges for late returns or damages.

 Advertisements – small ad slots on scooters/bikes from local cafes, coaching centers, etc.

 Referral Discounts – encourage students to bring friends, but make sure referral is only ₹50–100 to keep profits high.

💪🏻 Personal Motivation

 As a student, I’ve often seen classmates struggle with daily commuting inside and outside campus. Owning a vehicle is costly, and public transport doesn’t solve short-distance needs. With CampusRide, students get mobility freedom without financial burden, while also contributing to a greener campus.

CampusRide isn’t just transport — it’s freedom on two wheels. 🚲

SkillGraph – Optimized Learning Paths for Smarter Education

 Problem: In today’s world of online learning, students have access to endless resources on platforms like YouTube, Coursera, and Udemy. But having too much content often creates confusion. Learners struggle with where to begin and what to learn next. Many end up skipping prerequisites or repeating topics unnecessarily, which leads to frustration, wasted time, and shallow understanding.

Solution: SkillGraph is an intelligent platform that maps knowledge as a graph of interconnected concepts. Each concept (node) is linked to its prerequisites (edges). Using graph theory and optimization algorithms, SkillGraph generates a personalized, step-by-step learning path for each learner.

For example, a student wanting to learn Machine Learning would be shown the exact sequence of topics: Linear Algebra → Probability → Python Basics → Algorithms → ML Models. This ensures learners progress efficiently, mastering skills in the right order.

Gap in Current Market: Existing platforms recommend courses but do not optimize the learning sequence. They lack the ability to understand skill dependencies. SkillGraph bridges this gap by transforming random content into a structured, dependency-driven roadmap.

Who Benefits:

• Students & Self-learners – clearer paths, faster mastery.

• Teachers & Universities – curriculum design with optimized flow.

• Professionals – upskilling in minimum time with maximum impact.

Why This Matters to Me: As a computational mathematics student, I see how mathematical optimization can solve real-world learning challenges. Education should not just be about resources, but about structured guidance. By applying graph algorithms, we can make learning smarter, faster, and more accessible.

Technical Note: The system uses graph traversal, topological sorting, and constraint-based optimization to build adaptive learning paths. Over time, it can integrate AI for dynamic updates based on user progress.

The Problem

Every day, students struggle with the rising cost of transportation. Many of us either depend on expensive cabs and autos or spend extra money on fuel when driving alone. At the same time, vehicles leave campus half-empty, while classmates travel the same routes separately. This not only increases personal expenses but also adds to traffic congestion and environmental pollution. Clearly, we need a smarter, more sustainable way to commute.

The Solution

Campus Carpool is a mobile app designed exclusively for Mahindra University students. By connecting students who travel in the same direction at similar times, it makes daily commuting affordable, safe, and eco-friendly. With verified student profiles, smart ride-matching, and automatic cost-sharing, the app offers a trusted and sustainable alternative to expensive solo travel.

How It Works

Students register on the app using their official university ID to ensure safety and authenticity. Once verified, they simply enter their starting point, destination, and travel time. The app instantly suggests matches with students heading in the same direction. Costs are split fairly through built-in digital payments, and emergency contacts can be shared for added peace of mind. After the ride, users can provide feedback and ratings, building a community of trust.

Key Features

• Route Matching: Smart suggestions for students traveling the same way.

• Cost Sharing: Automatic digital fare split for fairness and convenience.

• Safety First: Only University IDs are accepted, with emergency sharing options.

• Eco-Friendly Impact: Reduces unnecessary single-passenger trips, cutting traffic and emissions.

• Community Building: Encourages stronger connections among students.

The Model

The app is free to join for every student. A small service fee (₹5–₹10 per ride) ensures smooth platform maintenance. Premium options, such as guaranteed matches or priority ride bookings, can be offered for students who need extra convenience. In the long run, partnerships with the university can further strengthen the model while supporting the campus’s sustainability goals.

Final Pitch

Campus Carpool is not just an app—it’s a lifestyle shift. It’s about making student life simpler, cheaper, safer, and more sustainable. By transforming wasted empty seats into opportunities for savings and connection, we give students the power to drive change, one shared ride at a time.

Introduction

Students today depend on multiple platforms for their needs Reddit for open discussions, LinkedIn for professional networking, and job portals for internships or entry-level jobs. The issue is that none of these platforms are designed exclusively for students, which creates a fragmented and inefficient experience. A unified platform that combines the community-driven nature of Reddit with the professional opportunities of a student-only job portal could solve this gap and bring both learning and career growth into one place.

The Problem

On Reddit, relevant discussions get buried among unrelated posts, making it difficult to find reliable guidance. LinkedIn, although powerful, is dominated by professionals, leaving students struggling to stand out. Generic job portals treat applications as purely transactional and fail to highlight student creativity, skills, or projects. This disconnect makes it harder for students to access the right opportunities, while companies also struggle to find authentic student talent directly.

Our Solution

The solution is a student-only hub that merges community interaction and career opportunities. Students could use it to share ideas, ask questions, and discuss academics or internships in a supportive environment while also building verified profiles that highlight their portfolios and achievements. At the same time, companies could connect with this curated pool of students, filtering by skills or universities to make hiring faster and more relevant.

Why This Matters

I have seen many of my peers struggle to balance learning, networking, and job searching across scattered platforms. A single dedicated hub would save time, reduce stress, and provide equal opportunities for students to showcase their potential, while also giving companies a trusted way to discover emerging talent.

College students are among the busiest group of people in the young adult demographic. Between classes, exams, extra-curriculars, and internships, health and nutrition tends to take a backseat. Proper meals are sacrificed for a cup of instant noodles and another round of revision. However, this is neither balanced nor sustainable and leads to a cycle of poor nutrition, brain fog, low energy, and diminished academic performance. ExamBites aims to provide students with nutritious meals so they can keep up their health as well as their grades. 

What We Do:

ExamBites provides students with nutritious supplementary meals 3 days a week. These meals will include nutrients that college cafeterias and instant food generally tends to lack. Some of these are omega-3s, antioxidants, complex carbs, and leafy greens. Surveys will be taken so we can understand our target group and what they really need. After a careful analysis of results, meal plans will be generated which will then be tested and approved by a group of nutritionists. 

How It Works:

Preferably, we will be able to operate from within the campus itself so we can be even more accessible to students. Customers will be required to pick up their meals on 3 days of the week (eg., Monday, Wednesday, Friday). There will be different plans available so we can cater to more students and their specific requirements. For example, students can choose to use our service all semester round or specifically during exam periods. 

How We Differ:

While there are many services that offer meal plans and pre-prepped meals, there are very few that are specifically targeted to college students specifically. Also, affordability is a main concern for young adults who can't afford to spend too much on "luxury services". With ExamBites, we aim to bring nutrition to our customers at reasonable and affordable prices. We will also continuously take feedback and adapt our services to increase customer satisfaction. 

My Idea-Skill Swap Platform

Many people have skills worth sharing - in coding, cooking, photography, or a language - but do not have the resources for paid educational programs. The Skill Swap Platform is a solution to a real-world problem. Users will transfer skills directly without raising any money for their counterparts, allowing all parties to benefit.

Currently, online platforms (e.g., LinkedIn Learning, Udemy) are concentrated on paid, unidirectional teaching practice. There are many missing elements in an online platform that allows for free, reciprocal skill exchange. Our solution would enable users to teach what they know while learning what they do not, meaning learning becomes collaborative, which builds trust within communities.

So, who benefits? Students, freelancers, stay-at-home parents, retirees, or anyone who wants to grow their skills or share their skills without a financial burden. Note that the community will also benefit by having peer-to-peer sharing in improved knowledge and decreased inequity in education access.

This concept is important to me because I have experienced wanting to contribute skills where I personally could not afford paying to learn. The Skill Swap platform could mean "paying" with knowledge instead of money and the shared economy means that no one has to feel like they are losing out when it comes to learning.

Technically, the platform would include a user profile, skill upload, skill matching algorithm, peer-to-peer reviews, and video chat.

Problem it Solves:

Students today live most of their lives online attending classes, applying for internships, paying fees, shopping, and socializing. Unfortunately, many fall victim to scams, phishing links, unsafe apps, weak passwords, and account hacking. Once hacked, students often lose not just money but also personal data, which can affect their academics, careers, and even mental health.

Current Market Gap:

While antivirus software and password managers exist, most are either too complex or too expensive for students. Free solutions don’t provide real-time scam detection or personalized guidance. What’s missing is an affordable, student-friendly cybersecurity companion that proactively protects students and teaches them safe online habits.

My Solution:

A mobile app called CyberSakhi, designed as a personal digital guardian. It uses AI to detect phishing links, fake internship/job portals, and unsafe apps in real time. If a student is about to click on something suspicious, CyberSakhi immediately alerts them. It also includes features like password vaults, dark web monitoring for leaked data, and short daily tips on safe online behavior. The app is simple, runs quietly in the background, and only steps in when there’s a risk.

Who Benefits:

• Students → stay safe online, avoid scams, protect accounts and money.

• Parents → peace of mind knowing their children’s digital lives are secure.

• Universities → fewer cyber complaints and safer student networks.

• Society → builds a culture of cybersecurity awareness from a young age.

Business Model:

CyberSakhi is offered as a freemium app: core safety features (phishing alerts, scam detection) are free, while premium features (dark web monitoring, family accounts, advanced protection) are available at a low-cost subscription.

Why This Matters to Me:

As students, we are constantly online but rarely trained in how to protect ourselves. CyberSakhi is not just a tool but a confidence booster, letting students focus on learning and growing without fear of scams or hacks. I want to solve this because digital safety is no longer optional, it’s a basic need in today’s world.

One of the biggest challenges students face in college is the high cost of academic and hostel essentials such as textbooks, lab equipment, calculators, bicycles, and even basic room supplies. At the same time, many seniors often throw away or abandon these items when they graduate. This creates both a financial burden for juniors and unnecessary waste on campus.

Existing platforms like OLX or Amazon are not tailored for students. They are too broad, require long-distance delivery, and often involve strangers outside campus, which reduces trust and convenience. Campus notice boards or WhatsApp groups are informal and disorganized, making it difficult to find the right item at the right time.

My idea is Campus ThriftHub, a student-exclusive marketplace where peers can buy, sell, or exchange pre-owned items safely within the campus community. This can be implemented as a simple mobile app or web platform linked to student IDs for verification. Sellers can upload photos of their items, set affordable prices, and buyers can connect instantly for quick handovers on campus.

Who benefits?

• Buyers (juniors): Access affordable resources and save money.
• Sellers (seniors): Earn extra pocket money while clearing out unused items.
• Community: Campus waste reduces, promoting sustainability.
