Run the campus from one desk.
Nominate the roster, send the login mail, and watch who unlocks the scan. The college dashboard is the same surface you see in the frame — dark, quiet, and exact.

Spectators can read the story. The roster, the clock, and the scan stay behind login.
HQ admits the campus
College registration is a petition. The dashboard stays dark until Admin says yes.
No public roster
There is no student join form. If your campus is not approved, this door stays shut.
Password by mail
Edraline emails the password after the campus names you. You never pick it here.
One device
A second login ends the first session immediately.
One clock
The brief unlocks for every approved campus at the same second.
Proof is sealed
Live URL, repository, LinkedIn post and scan trail lock before the window closes.

01
Campus
A campus registers and is approved
The college registers with campus details. HQ Admin approves. Then the live college dashboard opens.
02
Roster
The campus adds students
On the live dashboard the coordinator adds name, phone, email and university ID. Students cannot add themselves.
03
Login
Login arrives by email
Edraline emails each student a password. They sign in with that email and password — no public access link.
04
Brief
The brief unlocks together
One countdown. One challenge. Every approved campus sees it at the same second.
05
Build
Build on the allowed bench
Ship a live product with Cursor, Lovable, v0 or any mix on the bench. The score is the app you can defend, not the prompt.
06
Scan
Scan and harden
Queue the authorized analysis on your HTTPS URL. Fix what it finds. Retest before the window closes.
07
Seal
Seal the proof
Live URL, repository, LinkedIn post and evidence lock together. After submit, the trail cannot be edited.
08
Results
Results lock
HQ scores the sealed build. First, second and third stand on the board. Internship tracks and the purse follow verification.

Field notes
From the desks.
Beacon on 10.0.7.12 matched a lab family. Quarantine held inside the sandbox.
Roster sealed for the evening window. Login mail is out. Cap is 86% full.
Rule fired on the patched build, then went quiet on retest. Evidence locked.
Memory strings matched a credential dumper. Host isolated. Timeline attached.
01Can a student register on this website?
No. Students do not self-register. A college registers, HQ Admin approves that campus, the college adds students on the live dashboard, and Edraline emails each student a login.
02How does college access work?
Use College registration with campus details. After HQ Admin approval, the coordinator email receives a password. College login is email plus that password.
03How does student login work?
Your campus adds you. Edraline then emails your email address a password. Sign in on Student login with that email and password.
04Who can participate?
Eligibility is set by each approved campus and the event team. Ask your department, placement cell or campus coordinator.
05Do I need security experience?
Not necessarily. Strong building fundamentals and a willingness to reason about secure software matter most.
The network is waiting
Areyouready?
Colleges register and wait for HQ. Students sign in with the password Edraline sends after the campus adds them.
