DESCRIPTION:SmartEcoSign 2025 was a national-level hackathon that brought t
 ogether young innovators to design\,innovate\, and sustain with technology
  that is both impactful and eco-conscious. Organized by the Department of 
 Electronics Engineering (VLSI Design &amp; Technology) in association with the
  IEEEBIT Student Branch\, the hackathon carried the theme “Smart Everyth
 ing: Tech for Next-GenApplications” and encouraged participants to build
  solutions that merged sustainability with intelligent design. The event f
 eatured four tracks:\n1. Electronics in Next-Gen Applications\n2. Code and
  Circuit – The Co-Design Challenge\n3. Green Silicon – Sustainable Tec
 h by Design\n4. GreenStack – Smart Software for Sustainable Impact.\n\nR
 egistration and Submissions\nThe call for registrations drew a large respo
 nse from colleges across the country. The final date for registration was 
 July 19th\, 2025. Following this\, participants submitted their initial co

 as followed by a second draft submission on August 11th. The final idea su
 bmission took place on August 15th. Each stage helped teams refine their p
 rojects\, moving from problem statements and proposed solutions to prototy
 pes that could be demonstrated in the finale.\n\nParticipation\nSmartEcoSi
 gn 2025 began with over 42 teams that is close to 200 registered participa
 nts. Through the multi-stage submission process\, this number was filtered
