DEVTHON 2026 · MAHARASHTRA
Hackathon in Nagpur 2026
Nagpur — the geographic heart of India and a growing IT and logistics hub. DEVTHON 2026, organized by DevUp Ecosystem, brings a national innovation hackathon to students, developers, designers, and startups from Nagpur — with 36 innovation domains, prizes, internships, placements, and startup incubation.
Why Nagpur students should join DEVTHON 2026
Nagpur 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 Nagpur and all of Maharashtra, 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.
