Edge Mysuru Tech Habba 2026

Edge Mysuru Tech Habba 2026 is a college-only flagship hackathon. Colleges nominate students, who form teams and build against a problem statement revealed at kickoff. Nothing is shared in advance. The theme drops live on stage, the clock starts, and every team works from the same blank page — no pre-built projects, no head starts, just your ideas and the tools you choose to reach for. This is where a syllabus stops and readiness begins. A certificate proves you finished something; a day like this proves you can take an open-ended problem, make decisions under pressure, work as a team, and ship something that actually runs. Those are the skills that get engineers hired in the AI era — and the ones no exam can grade. Over the hours that follow you'll go from an empty repo to a working prototype, a demo, and a pitch you can stand behind. Founders, mentors, and industry judges will be with you the whole day. What you build here doesn't disappear when the clock stops — it becomes proof of what you can do.

Open only to students of participating colleges nominated by their institution Each college receives a fixed number of tickets and forms teams of up to 4 A faculty coordinator must be nominated by the college as the single point of contact Every team member must be currently enrolled (proof of ID required at check-in) One team per ticket; a student may be on only one team

All core work must be built during the event — no pre-built projects or prior code Open-source libraries, public APIs, and AI tools are allowed; disclose what you use Teams own the IP they create; organizers may showcase submissions for promotion Code must be pushed to the assigned GitHub repo before the submission deadline Late submissions are not accepted — the clock is hard Be respectful: harassment, plagiarism, or cheating means disqualification Judges' decisions are final
