What makes HackForge special

  • Hybrid Format – welcoming both offline (on-campus) and online participants.

  • Curated Problem Statements – released in the official WhatsApp group to keep the challenge fresh and fair.

  • Pitching & Demos – selected teams showcase their projects to judges through live presentations (offline teams on campus, online teams via Google Meet).

  • Recognition & Rewards – celebrate innovation, technical excellence, and out-of-the-box problem solving.
