About the event

As a continuation of a legacy started by like-minded people, hackCBS 5.0 aims to bring together the minds of programmers, designers, application developers, tech-geeks, and novices to the world of programming for the intensive development of a hack.
At hackCBS, we provide a tranquil and welcoming environment where you will be completely free to develop a product, pick up new skills, and along with that, we'll also give you the chance to network with leaders in the hacker community.


You've come to the right place if you haven't taken part in a hackathon before, as you are about to witness a series of events that will enlighten as well as enhance your skills. Experienced hackers must have been familiar with hackCBS, the biggest student-run hackathon in India.Over 1,000 hackers from all over the country competed for the top spot last year, writing over 50,000 lines of code in a single 24-hour period and guzzling more than 10,000 cups of coffee. But this time it’s going to be different, ‘coz this time it’s going to be even grander.
