How to apply

DropHack accepts applications online through the official portal before the 1 Aug 2026 deadline. Follow the steps below — and always confirm the latest details on the official source before you apply.

How to apply

Applications are submitted on the official portal. Confirm the current deadline and document checklist there before you start.

Selection process

Applications are evaluated in three stages:

  1. Registration & Profile Screening: Teams register on Unstop and all members must have updated profiles showcasing their technical degrees, tech stacks, and GitHub/LinkedIn links.
  2. Pre-Hackathon Online Assessment (Elimination Round): A 45-minute online quiz on coding and algorithmic fundamentals. Only the top 15% of teams advance.
  3. DropHack Main Offline Event: Shortlisted teams are invited to the physical venue in Gurgaon. Problem statements are revealed at Zero-Hour, and teams have 10 hours to build a working prototype. They must submit a GitHub repository and deliver a technical walkthrough to judges, who evaluate based on raw adaptability, logical thinking, and rapid execution.
