About the event

HackWithAditya 2026 brings together student innovators, developers, and technology enthusiasts from across India for an exciting 48-hour residential hackathon, where existing prototypes evolve into impactful, real-world solutions.

Unlike conventional hackathons, HackWithAditya follows a prototype-first approach: bring your existing working prototype, qualify through online screening, and take on new engineering challenges during an intensive 48-hour build at Aditya University.
