Build. Break. Innovate.
Kalachakra is the flagship hackathon of TechSurge 2K26, where teams of 2–4 undergraduate students compete to transform newly revealed problem statements into meaningful, working solutions.
Problem statements remain sealed until the opening ceremony. Once the challenges are revealed, teams enter a 28-hour build sprint involving ideation, development, mentorship, evaluation rounds, testing, refinement, and final presentations.
Participants will work under real hackathon conditions, collaborate with their teammates, interact with mentors, and present their final solutions to a panel of judges.
