Built for people who've never done this before

Most hackathons quietly assume you already know how to code. This one doesn't.

🎯

Beginner-first tracks

Separate judging for first-years, so you're not competing against final-year students with three internships behind them.

🤝

Don't have a team?

Register solo and we'll help you find teammates. Most first-years don't know anyone yet — that's completely normal.

🧑‍🏫

Mentors on call

📜

Certificate for everyone

Every participant who submits gets a verifiable certificate. Winners get cash, swag, and sponsor intro calls.

💻

Fully online

Participate from your hostel room. No travel, no accommodation cost, open to every college in India.

Questions

I just started college and barely know how to code. Should I still join?

Yes — this event exists for exactly that. There are beginner tracks, mentors on call through the whole build window, and separate judging for first-years. Plenty of past participants wrote their first real program during the hackathon itself.

Do I need a team to register?

No. Register solo and use the team-finder on your dashboard, or join a friend using their team code. Teams can be 1 to 4 people. Every member registers individually.

What does the ₹150 cover?

Your participation slot, mentor access, judging, certificate, and platform costs. It also filters out no-shows — paid events consistently have far higher attendance, which means your team actually shows up.

Is it online or in person?

Online (Pan-India). You can participate from anywhere in India — no travel or accommodation cost.

What if my team does not submit anything?

Nothing bad happens. You keep whatever you learned. But you will not receive a certificate, since those go to teams that submit.

Can I get a refund?

Registration fees are non-refundable once paid, since your slot is reserved and mentor capacity is allocated. If the event is cancelled by the organisers, everyone is refunded in full.
