About CODESTORM – 2026
Narsimha Reddy Engineering College (NRCM) presents CODESTORM – 2026, a high-energy, 36-hour national-level hackathon designed to push your problem-solving limits. Unlike traditional hackathons, there is no prior idea submission. We believe in real-time innovation. Challenges will be released on-spot, and teams must build, code, and deploy their solutions within the 36-hour window.
Build the future, break the limits, and compete for a prize pool worth ₹1,00,000!
