Overview

Problem-solving, inventing, hacking and coding is more of an adrenaline rush of endorphins rather than a feeling.

As said by Walter O'Brien, Hackathon is one of the events which increases your adrenaline rush to work out more problems.Time to roll up your sleeves to play a Geek!athon with XCEED. The Hackathon involves two phases namely idea phase and offline hackathon. A brief about us...

College of Engineering Guindy (CEG), Chennai, one of the premier institutions for higher education in India, has been a renowned center for academic and overall excellence since its inception in 1794.

Kurukshetra, incarnated in 2007, is the First Ever Student Organised Fest to be bestowed with the UNESCO patronage and ISO 9001:2015 certification. Kurukshetra caters to a target audience of over 15,000+ students from all over the country and attracts the best and brightest of its engineers.

XCEED, the Nationwide Robotics, Management, Coding and Quizzing championship, is a precursor to Kurukshetra started in 2008. It is a miniature version of Kurukshetra conducted in various Colleges around India.Bringing together the technically extravagant minds of the country and exploring their talents has been one of the prime intentions of Kurukshetra over the years. Upholding this intent is the motive of the Nation-wide hackathon.

When solving problems, dig at the roots instead of just hacking at the leaves.
