DEVTHON 2026 · MADHYA PRADESH
Hackathon in Bhopal 2026
Bhopal — a fast-emerging engineering education hub in central India. DEVTHON 2026, organized by DevUp Ecosystem, brings a national innovation hackathon to students, developers, designers, and startups from Bhopal — with 36 innovation domains, prizes, internships, placements, and startup incubation.
Why Bhopal students should join DEVTHON 2026
Bhopal has one of India's strongest pools of engineering and design talent, yet high-quality innovation hackathons that lead to real outcomes — internships, placements, funding, and incubation — remain rare. DEVTHON was built to close that gap. As a national hackathon, it welcomes teams from Bhopal and all of Madhya Pradesh, combining a 36-hour build sprint with a full innovation ecosystem behind it.
Whether you are a first-year student writing your first line of code, a final-year engineer preparing for placements, or an early founder validating an idea, DEVTHON gives you a stage, mentors, and a direct line to recruiters and investors.
