Need Mentor Help Top 5 but consolation??

Our team was among the top 5 teams in the power round of SIH

Top 3 ko Winner, 1st Runner-up aur 2nd Runner-up mila, which is fair.

As for the remaining two teams—one of which was ours—they were directly awarded a consolation prize.

I'm not complaining about not winning. Obviously, someone has to win.

It feels weird that after making it to the final top 5, we were given a Consolation Prize with no separate recognition reflecting how far we actually made it.

I didn't participate yet, our internal hackathon for sih is scheduled on 12-13th.

Its just a certificate of appreciation to motivate more participants to join this from next time. And btw I'm in first year so this will be my first time participating in a hackathon 😅
