about this event
HackWithAditya is a 48-hour national-level hackathon with a ₹5,00,000 prize pool, organised by Aditya University, Andhra Pradesh, in association with Oracle Academy and in collaboration with the OpenAI Student Collective.
Got a working prototype? Ready to take it to the next level? HackWithAditya 2026 brings together student innovators, developers, and technology enthusiasts from across India for an exciting 48-hour residential hackathon, where existing prototypes evolve into impactful, real-world solutions.
Unlike conventional hackathons, HackWithAditya follows a prototype-first approach: bring your existing working prototype, qualify through online screening, and take on new engineering challenges during an intensive 48-hour build at Aditya University.
Level 1 is completely FREE. Assemble your team of 4–6 builders and submit your working prototype before 25 November 2026.
