[IMPORTANT]

Dear Participants of HackNU/2025,

The majority of the team leaders (participant 1) must have already received the confirmation, please check the "Spam" folder. If not, please wait for 1-2 days, because processing the application is a long process due to the large number of applications.

Secondly, we want to emphasize you that all participants will be asked to provide a valid ID (удостоверение личности, паспорт) to verify their age, and show the document from eGov or Kaspi that will prove that they are currently enrolled in the university (any other document for students who study abroad, which proves that they are students) during the check-in process. So please, be honest and do not cheat, provide only real documents during registration.

If any of the documents was forged/faked, and some of your teammates do not match any of the criteria (that is, is >25 years old, or is not currently enrolled in the university as a Bachelors/Masters student), we reserve a right to disqualify your team from the participation in HackNU/2025, before or during the hackathon itself.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation! Looking forward to seeing you!

P.S. If you have any questions, please join the HackNU chat, and ask your question there.
