Central India’s Largest Student Hackathon Concluded

After months of dedicated hard work, uncertainty and suspicions regarding the possibility of such an event, getting the distinction of ‘Central India’s largest’ in the very first attempt is no mean feat, credit of which also goes to all the teams that registered for the hackathon but couldn’t make it to the onsite round.

The problems statements were released sharply at 12:00 AM on November 3 and that started the fight for bragging rights and a greater share in the prizes worth 21 lakh.
