Participants may attempt to appeal Temporary Suspensions and Permanent Bans by submitting a written request over email to hack@iiitl.ac.in with “[Appeal]” in the subject line and attaching relevant evidence.
Participants who are issued a Temporary Suspension or Permanent Ban will be notified in writing via email. The email will include the following information:
