DEVTHON 2026 · DELHI NCR
Hackathon in Delhi 2026
Delhi NCR — home to India's top engineering institutes and a booming startup corridor across Gurugram and Noida. DEVTHON 2026, organized by DevUp Ecosystem, brings a national innovation hackathon to students, developers, designers, and startups from Delhi — with 36 innovation domains, prizes, internships, placements, and startup incubation.
Why Delhi students should join DEVTHON 2026
Delhi 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 Delhi and all of Delhi NCR, 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.
