Frequently asked
- How many hackathons in India are open for registration right now?
- 30 of the 30 upcoming hackathons listed in India are still open for registration: 6 close within 7 days and 30 within 30 days. The very next one to close is Hack'em Hex, on 16 September 2026.
- Which hackathons in India have the biggest prize pools?
- 16 of the 30 listed hackathons publish a prize pool, the largest $11,000. 2 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?
- 11 of the 30 run online and can be entered from anywhere in India; 19 need you on site, most often in Delhi NCR (6), Pune (4) and Hyderabad (2). 29 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.
