Frequently asked
- How many hackathons in India are open for registration right now?
- 84 of the 96 upcoming hackathons listed in India are still open for registration: 22 close within 7 days and 81 within 30 days. The very next one to close is Software Hackathon Convergence 2k26, on 15 September 2026.
- Which hackathons in India have the biggest prize pools?
- 43 of the 96 listed hackathons publish a prize pool, the largest $60,000. 12 of those are quoted in a currency other than the rupee; the card shows the organizer's own figure and the rupee value is only used to sort them into prize bands.
- Are there online hackathons I can join from anywhere in India?
- 30 of the 96 run online and can be entered from anywhere in India; 66 need you on site, most often in Delhi NCR (10), Mumbai (6) and Bengaluru (6). 65 say in their own description that students may enter.
- How do I register for a hackathon listed here?
- Every listing here links back to the organizer's registration page — AllEvents, Devfolio, HackerEarth, Luma, MLH and Unstop — and registration happens there, not on Jamao. Nothing is behind a login and no listing is paid placement. Running one? Claim your listing from its page, or add it free at jamao.in/create, and it stops being overwritten by the import.
Counted from the 96 upcoming hackathons listed on this page. Rebuilt twice a day from AllEvents, Devfolio, HackerEarth, Luma, MLH, Unstop. All times IST.
