Overview

Hacking is building things that you always wanted to have but no one has built it yet. It's to come up with an amazing idea and work tirelessly on it. It is to fail, fail again and fail better. Try out new things and learn while doing that. It's to work together, collaborate and build things that are innovative. It is to be a better programmer.

With that spirit, Netaji Subhas Institute of Technology is conducting a hackathon - Hack@NSIT and invites all developers and hackathon enthusiasts to participate in an interesting and engaging hackathon. Hack@NSIT 2016 is the second iteration of NSIT's very own Annual Software Hackathon. For 24 intense hours, more than 150 of the most talented students from around the world will push the limits of technology.

Have an awesome idea you’ve been meaning to build? This is your chance.
