Who can apply
The entry criteria here are narrow by design, and they are all about your student status rather than your company.
- You must be a woman — this is a women-only competition.
- You must be in the final year of an engineering programme.

- You may be studying at any Indian institution — the listing does not restrict applicants to particular colleges or universities.
There is no requirement for a registered company, DPIIT recognition or MSME registration. The listing makes no mention of any of these, because eligibility turns entirely on being a final-year woman engineering student graduating in 2027.

Deadline & timing
The most recent application window for Meesho Scripted By Her 2.0 — Women-Only Hackathon, ₹2.25L Prizes closed on 20 Jun 2026. Many programmes run repeat cohorts, so it is worth checking the official site for the next round.
What the funding covers
This is a prize competition rather than an investment programme, so what you stand to receive is cash.
- Meesho has put up a total prize pool of ₹2.25 lakh.
- The listing advertises prize money of up to ₹2.3 lakh.
- Awards take the form of cash prizes for winning participants.
Because the money is a prize and not equity or a loan, there is nothing to repay and no stake in your work changes hands.
The listing does not break the pool down by rank or prize category, so the exact split between winners is not published. Beyond the cash, the value on offer is the platform itself — a chance to solve real-world problems and show your technical ability to Meesho.
