EDUCATION & CIVIC ENGAGEMENT
Status
Built and deployed at an Indian institution
Use when
Universities, civic bodies, or corporate L&D programmes want to run scaled, AI-graded competitions.
Reference
An Indian institution
01. The problem
Scaled competitions (university festivals, civic ideathons, corporate L&D) bottleneck on human grading. Submissions sit in queues. Feedback arrives late or not at all.
02. The approach
Manthan handles registration, submission, evaluation, leaderboard, and certification end to end. Evaluation runs on Gemini 3.1 Pro with structured rubrics per competition type. Human review remains in the loop where stakes warrant it.
03. The architecture
Next.js 16 frontend on Firebase Hosting. Firestore for state. Cloud Run for the evaluator service. The evaluator decouples from the registration UI so it scales independently under submission spikes.
04. The outcome
A scaled competition surface that returns evaluation in minutes, not weeks. Used in production at an Indian institution; portable to any similar use case.
