For events outside Rajasthan, this guide includes only opportunities that can be completed <strong>fully online from Jaipur<\/strong>. National hackathons requiring shortlisted Jaipur students to travel to Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chandigarh, Pune or another state for a compulsory finale have been excluded from the active Top 20.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For every hackathon, check the latest available information about <strong>registration deadlines, event dates, eligibility, team size, entry fees, prize money, competition format and registration platform<\/strong>. Where an organiser advertises a large overall reward package containing internships, cloud credits, courses, subscriptions, vouchers, merchandise or other benefits, this guide separates that from clearly disclosed cash prizes where possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Important:<\/strong> hackathon schedules can change quickly. Organisers may extend registration, revise competition rounds or change submission instructions. Always open the latest organiser or registration page before paying a fee, submitting a project or travelling to a venue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>20 Upcoming Hackathons in Jaipur &amp; for Jaipur Students 2026<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><thead><tr><th>#<\/th><th>Hackathon<\/th><th>Important Date<\/th><th>Mode \/ Location<\/th><th>Prize \/ Reward<\/th><th>Status on 26 Sep<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>1<\/td><td>HackPulse 2026<\/td><td>Registration: 30 Sep, 12:00 AM; event: 4 Oct<\/td><td>UEM Jaipur<\/td><td>\u20b960,000 prize pool<\/td><td>Open<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>2<\/td><td>Codefiesta 5.0<\/td><td>Registration: 30 Sep; event: 8\u20139 Oct<\/td><td>Global Institute of Technology, Jaipur<\/td><td>\u20b97 lakh advertised prize pool<\/td><td>Open<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>3<\/td><td>CyberQuest&#8217;26<\/td><td>Registration: 7 Oct; event: 9\u201311 Oct<\/td><td>Manipal University Jaipur<\/td><td>\u20b950,000 listed reward pool<\/td><td>Open<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>4<\/td><td>Hypnexis 2026<\/td><td>Registration: 15 Oct; aptitude round: 16 Oct<\/td><td>Manipal University Jaipur<\/td><td>\u20b910 lakh+ advertised value; \u20b92.25 lakh top-three cash<\/td><td>Open<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>5<\/td><td>MNITJ Student Hackathon 2026<\/td><td>Registration extended to 25 Oct<\/td><td>MNIT Jaipur<\/td><td>\u20b92.5 lakh+ prize pool<\/td><td>Open; MNIT students only<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>6<\/td><td>Qiskit Fall Fest 2026 \u2013 IIT Jodhpur<\/td><td>October 2026; registration opened 25 Sep<\/td><td>IIT Jodhpur, Rajasthan<\/td><td>Quantum challenges, hackathon and recognition<\/td><td>Registration opening\/current<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>7<\/td><td>Bharat Agentic 2026<\/td><td>Registration: 29 Sep; hackathon: 1 Oct<\/td><td>100% Online<\/td><td>\u20b950,000 prize pool + internship opportunities<\/td><td>Open<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>8<\/td><td>INNOVA X 2K26<\/td><td>Registration: 30 Sep; submissions: 1\u20137 Oct<\/td><td>Global Online<\/td><td>Tech rewards, certificates and remote internship opportunity<\/td><td>Open<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>9<\/td><td>HackNowa Global Hackathon 2026<\/td><td>Registration: 30 Sep; submission: 1\u201310 Oct<\/td><td>Online<\/td><td>Certificates + online internship opportunities for top teams<\/td><td>Open<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>10<\/td><td>Multimodal AI Hackathon 2026<\/td><td>Development: 30 Sep\u201314 Oct; results: 21 Oct<\/td><td>Fully Online<\/td><td>\u20b91 lakh cash prize pool<\/td><td>Open<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>11<\/td><td>Prompt Run 2026<\/td><td>Registration \/ event window around 3\u20134 Oct<\/td><td>Fully Online<\/td><td>Recognition and leaderboard-based evaluation<\/td><td>Open<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>12<\/td><td>Algothon&#8217;26<\/td><td>Event \/ registration window through 4 Oct<\/td><td>Online<\/td><td>Winner rewards + certificates<\/td><td>Open<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>13<\/td><td>Environmental Hacks<\/td><td>8\u201311 Oct<\/td><td>Fully Online from India; optional Delhi build day<\/td><td>\u20b920 lakh advertised reward pool; \u20b96 lakh disclosed track-winner cash<\/td><td>Open<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>14<\/td><td>Graph Hacks: Building Next-Gen RAG<\/td><td>Registration open; exact build deadline TBA<\/td><td>Worldwide Online<\/td><td>US$10,000 across three tracks<\/td><td>Open<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>15<\/td><td>Hackathon to Solve India&#8217;s Garbage Problem<\/td><td>Submission deadline: 10 Oct; results: 17 Oct<\/td><td>Nationwide Virtual<\/td><td>Medals, certificates and national recognition<\/td><td>Open<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>16<\/td><td>BUiLDX Hackathon<\/td><td>Registration window through 20 Oct<\/td><td>International Online<\/td><td>Certificates, winner goodies and recognition<\/td><td>Open<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>17<\/td><td>FutureStack Hackathon<\/td><td>Registration: 19 Oct; hackathon starts 20 Oct<\/td><td>Completely Online<\/td><td>Incubation, PPO opportunities, credits and rewards<\/td><td>Open<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>18<\/td><td>HackCache&#8217;26<\/td><td>Registration: 20 Oct; hackathon: 23\u201324 Oct<\/td><td>100% Online<\/td><td>\u20b91.22 lakh total package including \u20b980,000 cash<\/td><td>Open<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>19<\/td><td>AVISHKAAR Season 4 Virtual Hackathon<\/td><td>Registration: 25 Oct<\/td><td>Completely Virtual<\/td><td>\u20b950,000 cash<\/td><td>Open<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>20<\/td><td>WCC Forge 48<\/td><td>Registration around 29 Oct; hackathon 30 Oct\u20131 Nov<\/td><td>Completely Online<\/td><td>\u20b925,000 cash + PPO opportunities + other rewards<\/td><td>Open<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Midnight deadline warning: when a registration platform displays a deadline such as \u201c30 September, 12:00 AM\u201d, do not assume you have the full day of September 30.

class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The phrase <strong>prize pool<\/strong> does not always mean that the entire advertised value will be paid as cash. Organisers may combine cash with internships, placement opportunities, cloud credits, software plans, courses, merchandise, vouchers, incubation or mentoring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, Hypnexis advertises more than \u20b910 lakh in overall value while \u20b92.25 lakh is specifically disclosed as top-three cash. Environmental Hacks advertises a broader \u20b920 lakh reward package while the published main-track structure identifies \u20b96 lakh in track-winner cash.

BUiLDX explicitly allows AI tools under its current description.
