Frequently asked
- How many hackathons in India are open for registration right now?
- 17 of the 20 upcoming 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 Catalyst - Solo AI Hackathon, on 14 November 2026.
- Which hackathons in India have the biggest prize pools?
- 20 of the 20 listed hackathons publish a prize pool, the largest ₹40,000. 1 of those is 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?
- 13 of the 20 run online and can be entered from anywhere in India; 7 need you on site, most often in Bengaluru (2), Delhi NCR (2) and Jaipur (1). 20 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, TechMeetups 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.
