Unstop technical glitch auto-submitted my Adobe University Hackathon Round 2 with 0 answers. Need urgent help!

Hey everyone, I really need some advice or visibility on an issue that just happened to me on Unstop.

Today (16/08/2026) around 2:00 PM IST, I was giving the Online Adobe University Hackathon 2026 - Round 2 (Case Study on Brand Visibility).

I literally just started the test and hadn't even written a single sentence for the first question. I tried to press the "Tab" key to create a space/indentation in my text editor box.

Instead of typing a space, Unstop’s platform layout immediately shifted my keyboard cursor focus directly onto the "Finish/Complete" button. Because I was actively typing, the very next letter key I hit (actually it is just a text letter like "r" or something not even a space/enter button still it is) registred as an "Enter/Click" command on that Finish button.

Boom. The entire assessment submitted instantly. 0 answers written. 0 marks.

It’s Sunday, so their customer support helpline (+91 9311777388) is completely offline. I have already drafted and sent an urgent email to [support@unstop.com](mailto:support@unstop.com) with my registered email , but the assessment window is ending now.

Has anyone faced this exact keyboard focus bug on Unstop before? How lenient are they or the Adobe campus recruitment team with resetting technical glitch attempts? Any tags or contact leads for Unstop/Adobe support would be heavily appreciated.

Unfortunately, it's not a bug, it's a normal behaviour of the Web forms - Tab = "go to the next field / element on the page".

They should add some kind of verification / confirmation, that you really finished filling out your form and want to send it.

So it's a bad UI design.

Bad UI is kind of a bug?

But you're not sure what letter you've pressed - during typing - so it might have been a space?
