Frequently asked questions
What is Hack Fusion 2026?
It is a one-day hackathon run by VET Institute of Arts and Science (VETIAS) at its Erode campus in Tamil Nadu. Participants present technology and business ideas to a panel of judges, with entries competing across 12 tracks for a ₹10,000 cash prize.
How much prize money does Hack Fusion 2026 offer?
The total cash prize is ₹10,000. That is the full published prize pool, and the organisers have not indicated how the amount is split among winners. It is a competition prize rather than a grant or loan.
When is the application deadline, and when is the event?
There is no separate early deadline — entries are accepted right up to the day of the hackathon, which is 7 August 2026. The event itself is a single day, held on that same date, so the closing point and the event day coincide.
Who is eligible to participate?
The event is open to all. It is aimed at students and early-stage innovators with an interest in technology and entrepreneurship. The organisers have not listed any sector, stage, age or institutional restrictions.
Can I enter alone, or do I need a team?
Either format works. Teams and individual participants are both permitted, and no particular team size has been specified in the programme details.
What are the 12 tracks in the competition?
The event covers 12 tracks that range widely across technology and business domains. The individual track names are not listed in the available programme details, so the Internshala competition page is the place to confirm them.
Do I need DPIIT recognition or MSME registration to take part?
No. Neither DPIIT recognition nor MSME registration appears as a requirement. Since participation is open to all, including students, formal business registrations of any kind are not part of the eligibility criteria.
Does the programme take equity in my idea or venture?
No equity is mentioned anywhere in the programme details. Hack Fusion 2026 is a competition with a cash prize, not an investment programme, so there is no stake taken in what you pitch.
Is the hackathon online or in person?
It is an in-person event. Participants gather at the VET Institute of Arts and Science campus in Erode, Tamil Nadu, on 7 August 2026 and present their ideas to the judges there. No online participation option is mentioned.
How do I apply for Hack Fusion 2026?
