In January 2026, Jaipur showed just how big its tech scene has become. The Rajasthan DigiFest X TiE Global Summit took over the Jaipur Exhibition and Convention Centre from January 4 to 6, bringing together 10,000+ delegates from more than 30 countries. The lineup also featured 500+ investors and 100+ global speakers.
That momentum hasn’t slowed down. This autumn, UEM Jaipur, Manipal University Jaipur, and MNIT Jaipur are all running hackathons, while communities like eChai Ventures and GDG Jaipur host open meetups where founders and developers can connect.
This guide covers upcoming tech events and hackathons in Jaipur, including their dates, fees, eligibility, and registration status. It also highlights which events are still accepting entries and which opportunities students can consider next.
What Kinds of Tech Events Does Jaipur Have This Year?
Tech events in Jaipur in 2026 cover five main formats, from college hackathons to startup meetups.
College hackathons ask teams to solve one problem inside a fixed time. UEM Jaipur, Manipal University Jaipur, and MNIT Jaipur run the biggest ones this season.
Tech fests bring several competitions together. Technorazz at Jaipur National University combines a software hackathon with IoT robotics, drone racing, gaming, and a startup pitch round. Technorazz at Jaipur National University mixes a software hackathon with IoT robotics, drone racing, gaming, and a startup pitch round.
Startup and founder events focus on pitching, networking, and funding more than code. eChai Ventures and the Bitmela festival fall in this group.
National and online hackathons welcome students from any city. Teams can join from a dorm room or a college lab in Jaipur while the main event runs somewhere else.
AI-focused hackathons and workshops cover generative AI, machine learning, and AI agents. HackPulse adds an Agentic Harness track, and Hypnexis opens its track list with AI and Machine Learning.
Which Hackathons in Jaipur Are Open for Registration in 2026?
As of September 28, 2026, two of Jaipur’s upcoming hackathons are accepting registrations: Hypnexis at Manipal University Jaipur and the MNITJ Student Hackathon for eligible MNIT Jaipur students. HackPulse registration has closed, while Technorazz’s published deadline has passed. Here’s a closer look at all four events, including their dates, fees, eligibility and registration status.
1. Technorazz 2026 at Jaipur National University
Technorazz runs from September 29 to October 1 at the JNU campus on the Jaipur-Agra Bypass. Its software hackathon is a 10-hour sprint under the theme “Hack the Gap.” Teams of three or four build a web, mobile, or desktop app, and organisers release the problem statements on the day.
Teams pay ₹100 for a solo entry, ₹200 for two members, or ₹500 for larger teams. Each fee covers one contest, so entering a second Technorazz contest means paying again. The registration page lists September 25 as the last date for detailed entries, so contact the student coordinators there before planning to join. Participants also carry a college ID and a bonafide letter from their institution.
Since the published registration deadline has passed, contact the organisers to confirm whether they are accepting late entries.
2. HackPulse 2026 at UEM Jaipur
HackPulse is a free, 12-hour offline hackathon on October 4 at UEM Jaipur. It has two tracks, Open Innovation and Agentic Harness, and teams can have one to four members.
Registration on Unstop closed on September 26. Organisers invite shortlisted teams based on registration order and a review of their GitHub profiles. Invited participants get free campus accommodation from the night of October 3, and the top 10 teams earn a direct spot in HackPulse Heist on January 27, 2027.
3. Hypnexis 2026 at Manipal University Jaipur
Hypnexis is a 36-hour in-person hackathon with a ₹10 lakh+ prize pool. The event runs on October 24 and 25 at the Manipal University Jaipur campus, and teams of one to four can join.
Six tracks cover AI and Machine Learning, Web3 and Blockchain, Climate Tech, Health and MedTech, Smart Cities, and Open Innovation. Registration stays open on Unstop until October 15, and the organisers provide food, Wi-Fi, and workspace.
4. MNITJ Student Hackathon 2026 at MNIT Jaipur
The MNIT Innovation and Incubation Centre MIIC runs this 48-hour hackathon for its own UG, PG, and PhD students. Teams of two to five compete for a prize pool above ₹2.5 lakh.
MIIC extended the registration deadline to October 25. Winning teams also get pre-incubation support at MIIC, and the challenge covers domains from AI and robotics to fintech and agritech. Students from other colleges cannot register for this one.
What Do Jaipur Startup Events 2026 Look Like?
Unlike hackathons, Jaipur’s startup and developer events focus on founder talks, project demos, networking, and investor interactions rather than timed coding challenges.
Jaipur’s growing startup ecosystem is also attracting attention because of increasing IT investment in the city.
eChai Ventures runs free, open founder meetups in Jaipur. Through 2025, its Jaipur calendar listed a Startup Meetup and a Startup Demo Day almost every month, and the meetups usually pair a founder panel with open pitches. The Jaipur events page shows nothing scheduled right now, so check it before making plans.
GDG Jaipur, the Google Developer Group chapter, hosts DevFest every year with talks on AI, web, Flutter, Android, cloud, and startups. The 2025 edition ran on December 27, 2025, and the group also held a Build with AI roadshow at R-CAT on May 21, 2026. Follow the GDG Jaipur page for the next DevFest date.
Bitmela, a festival on Bitcoin, UPI, and the future of money, lands in Jaipur on October 30 and 31 at the Intercontinental Jaipur. Its Launchpad Ideathon has already closed applications, and five finalist teams pitch live in Jaipur. Students with a valid ID can buy a festival pass, and the early-bird price showed ₹999 on the Bitmela site.
These events give students and early-stage founders opportunities to present ideas, exchange feedback, and connect with people working in the tech industry.
How Do You Participate in Tech Events in Jaipur?
Participating in a tech event in Jaipur becomes easier when you follow a few simple steps, from choosing the right event to presenting your project.
Step 1: Choose the right event.
Read the topic, skill level, eligibility, date, fee, and format before registering. Organisers can change event details, so check their page once more before paying.
Step 2: Check the team rules.
Some events take solo entries, while others need teams of two to five. Confirm whether the event is open to every student or only to one college, as the MNITJ hackathon is.
Step 3: Complete your registration.
Keep your college ID, email address, phone number, and team details ready. HackPulse reviews GitHub profiles during selection, and Technorazz asks for a bonafide letter from your institution.
Step 4: Prepare your team.
Split the work before the clock starts. If you have four members, one person handles development, one handles design, one tests, and one prepares the final pitch.
Step 5: Build and present your project.
Pick one clear problem and build a working prototype. Prepare a short demo that follows the event’s time limit. Explain the problem, show your working prototype, and highlight its main features. Keep some time for questions if the organisers allow it.
Technorazz gives teams five minutes to demo and three for questions, so a tight demo leaves room for the judges.
How Does TISA-TECH Fit Into This Growing Scene?
A hackathon rewards a finished demo, not a long idea.
Students looking for a practical tech training in Jaipur can look at TISA-TECH, Jhotwara. Its full stack development course teaches React and JavaScript on the frontend and Node.js, PHP and MySQL on the backend, with real-time projects and mentorship. The institute also trains students in AI and Machine Learning and UI/UX Design.
That stack suits a hackathon well. Students familiar with React and Node.js can use that experience to develop their hackathon ideas and build prototypes within the available time. Knowledge of frontend development, backend integration, and UI/UX can also help them prepare a working demo for events such as Hypnexis.
Conclusion
Jaipur’s 2026 tech calendar offers students opportunities to explore coding, AI, and startup innovation through hackathons, meetups, and tech festivals. Hypnexis and the MNITJ Student Hackathon provide upcoming opportunities for eligible participants to showcase their skills.
Students can also use these events to apply their knowledge, gain practical experience, and connect with Jaipur’s tech community. For those looking to strengthen their skills before participating, TISA-TECH offers a learning environment focused on practical, project-based learning.
