About

What it is

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.
