Excalibur is a platform to bring out the developers hidden inside you, and to truly discover yourself as a potential software engineer. The software to be developed can be a .NET application (Windows or Web either), a software developed using C++, Java or any other language. There is no constraint on the platform or language to be used. But what is important is the idea. It can even be a small working project. The organizers are basically looking for innovative ideas.
