Enigma is a 3-day online machine learning hackathon conducted as part of Codefest’26 by Department of Computer Science and Engineering, IIT (BHU) Varanasi.

The competition focuses on solving real-world Machine Learning problems using modern AI techniques. Participants will work on a single task of providing networking recommendation for guests coming in any networking event. We encourage participants to study the dataset well and think of developing models based on relation of all the columns of the dataset with the last 3 columns i.e. `Business Interests`, `Business Objectives` and `Constraints` (refer the dataset description).

A live leaderboard will track team performance throughout the event. **Also, do read the rules as it has information about the eligibility criterion for prizes as well as other contact information.**

**We wish you luck! Trust me all model designers need it🥲**
