Overview
Neuro X Hackathon 2026 is a five-day hackathon run by Hack Briven and held in Gurugram, scheduled from June 16 to June 20, 2026. Entry is open to people from anywhere in India, either as solo participants or as part of a team.
The event is built around hands-on building. Its schedule sets aside time for workshops, mentorship and working sessions, so participants get a stretch of days to shape an idea into something presentable rather than a single rushed sprint.

A total cash prize pool of ₹30,000 is on offer. Sign-ups stay open until June 20, 2026, and registration is handled through the official Internshala competition page for the event.
