14 of the 14 upcoming fintech hackathons listed in India are still open for registration: 7 close within 7 days and 14 within 30 days. The very next one to close is Code Kitchen, on 15 September 2026.
Which fintech hackathons in India have the biggest prize pools?
5 of the 14 listed fintech hackathons publish a prize pool, the largest $60,000. 3 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.

10 of the 14 run online and can be entered from anywhere in India; 4 need you on site, most often in Parsandan (1), Mumbai (1) and Digdoh (1). 4 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 — Devfolio, Devpost, 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.
