TERMS & CONDITIONS

All code, designs, documentation, and task responses submitted during the recruitment process must be your own original work. Plagiarism, unauthorized copying from other applicants or external repositories without attribution, or submitting work generated entirely by third parties is strictly prohibited and will result in immediate disqualification.

Submissions must be submitted prior to the announced stage deadline. You may edit your submission while the recruitment cycle remains open and your submission status is pending review. Submissions received after the deadline will not be evaluated.

Evaluations are conducted by the Microsoft Innovations Club domain review panels using standardized rubrics. Evaluation decisions, stage advancements, and final domain allocations made by the recruitment board are final.

Assessment statements, problem sets, and recruitment prompt assets provided during recruitment are intended exclusively for your evaluation. Distributing or sharing materials publicly or with competing candidates during the recruitment process is disallowed.

Applicants are expected to maintain professional and respectful communication with domain leads, panelists, and fellow candidates across all official MIC communication channels, interviews, and submission portals.
