About the VishwaNova Project Hackathon
VishwaNova 2026 is a national-level innovation project hackathon designed to bring together students from across India to build, showcase, and present impactful solutions.
Unlike traditional hackathons, this format allows you to submit your existing ideas/projects and compete at a national stage — combining the flexibility of a project competition with the intensity of a hackathon.
Any idea. Any domain. Any innovation.
