About
The Big Hack 2.0 is a hackathon organised at Acharya Institute of Technology, Bengaluru, in collaboration with The Big O. It brings together developers, creative thinkers, and aspiring innovators to turn ideas into working solutions over a competitive build period, with the aim of challenging participants to collaborate, apply their technical skills, and ship something innovative.
Who Should Apply The event is aimed at students and aspiring developers and innovators — participants are expected to form their own teams and build together. Team size is 2 to 4 members.
Why Participate The organisers frame the event around four things: innovation (turning ideas into practical solutions), collaboration (working with a team and learning from fellow innovators), technical excellence (applying programming, problem-solving, and development skills), and recognition and rewards (competing for prizes and recognition). The event is positioned as a competitive, innovation-driven environment rather than a learning workshop.
Format & Timeline The hackathon takes place at Acharya Institute of Technology, Bengaluru. The listing window runs from 17 October 2026 to 21 November 2026, with registration closing on 10 November 2026. Participants form teams and develop their solutions during the event.
Prizes A total prize pool of ₹50,000 is on offer, along with recognition for winning teams. The prize pool is listed as a single pool rather than broken down by rank.
Eligibility Teams of 2 to 4 members. Participants are encouraged to form teams and collaborate on their solutions.
How to Apply All participant registrations must be completed through the official event website at https://the-big-hack.vercel.app/. Unstop is being used only to showcase the opportunity and share event information — registering on Unstop alone does not confirm participation. Teams must form their team and submit their details through the official website to be considered.
