- Which hackathons in India have the biggest prize pools?
- 32 of the 53 listed hackathons publish a prize pool, the largest $60,000. 8 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.

- 0 of the 53 run online and can be entered from anywhere in India; 53 need you on site, most often in Delhi NCR (9), Hyderabad (5) and Pune (5). 53 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, 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.
