One hackathon. Infinite possibilities. Built with AI, not despite it.
BVRIT's student-run hackathon is back for a third year. Get a team of 2–3 together, pick a track, and spend 24 hours building something that actually works. Open to B.Tech students from any college — and we actively encourage you to use AI tools. Copilot, ChatGPT, Claude, whatever gets you shipping faster, use it.
DEMUX is run by Year Zero, the student tech club at B V Raju Institute of Technology in Narsapur. You clear a short online prelim, then come to campus for a 24-hour final — build alongside mentors, then pitch what you made to a jury. You don't need to have done a hackathon before; plenty of first-time teams do really well here.
AI is part of how we expect you to build. Use Copilot, ChatGPT, Claude, or any other AI tool throughout the 24 hours — for code, ideation, debugging, or your pitch. We're not just permitting it, we're encouraging it; judging looks at what you shipped and how well it works, not whether you typed every line yourself.
Pick one when you register. They're broad on purpose — there's room for almost anything, and an open track if nothing else fits.
No box, no limits. If your idea doesn't fit another track, build it here.
Climate, social good, accessibility, and safety — solve a real-world problem.
Use AI and ML to make a business or workflow genuinely smarter.
Tech for healthcare, wellness, and better access to care.
Technology for farming, food, and the people who grow it.
Hardware, robotics, embedded systems, and bots.
Five steps from sign-up to the stage. Dates are for the 2026 edition.
Shared across the top teams, with extra recognition for the best work in each track. Every team that reaches the final walks away with DEMUX merch and a certificate.
Judging looks at five things: impact, originality, technical depth, feasibility, and whether the thing actually works.
Any B.Tech / engineering student from any college in India. Teams can mix years, branches, and colleges — just bring your student ID to the final.
2 to 3 people. The team lead fills out the registration on everyone's behalf.
₹999 per team, paid online over UPI when you register. It covers the final — food, your spot on campus for the 24 hours, and swag. You get your team pass straight away; we confirm the payment before the event.
It's online (10 August). Each team sends a short abstract for its track — the problem you're tackling and your planned approach. We shortlist from there and invite teams to campus.
On the BVRIT campus in Narsapur, Telangana. The 24-hour build, the mentoring, and the jury pitches all happen there.
Completely. The Open Innovation track and the broader framing exist so first-timers have somewhere to start, and mentors are around all weekend to help you get unstuck.
The grand finale is on the BVRIT campus — Vishnupur, Narsapur, Medak, Telangana 502313.
Registration is open until 5 August. Grab a team and lock in your spot.
