Rules & Eligibility

Please read this before applying — it covers eligibility, program rules, team placement, and how prizes are decided.

1. Intern Eligibility

  • Recent graduate, or currently in the final year of college.
  • Strong communication skills.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities.
  • Willingness to learn and adapt to new technologies.
  • Ability to work independently and as part of a team.

2. General Rules

  • Interns are expected to complete a minimum of 3 months with the company. Leaving before completing this period forfeits the completion certificate, reference letter, and any pending stipend/prize payout tied to program completion.
  • Must have a reliable internet connection and a suitable work environment.
  • Must be available to work during the agreed internship schedule.
  • Must follow the company's policies, guidelines, and code of conduct throughout the internship.

3. Team Placement

  • Clearing the CTF / recruitment process makes a candidate eligible, but it does not guarantee placement on a specific team.
  • Joining a team is subject to an open position being available on that team at the time. Candidates may be placed on a different team, wait-listed, or offered a later start date based on openings.

4. Prize & Recognition Policy

  • Winning as a team does not automatically entitle every member of that team to the prize.
  • The prize is awarded only to members who actually contributed work during the challenge. Being listed as part of a winning team while not contributing does not earn any award.
  • It is the mentor's decision to assess individual contribution and determine who qualifies for the prize. The mentor's assessment is final.
By applying to Capture the Flag and/or accepting an internship offer, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to these rules.
