Are there any quantum hackathons happening in India?

I’ll be staying in Bangalore for a semester starting in January as part of my studies abroad, and I’m really interested in participating in hackathons. I believe they’re a great way to interact with people, learn new things, and maybe even earn some money.

I’m particularly interested in quantum computing hackathons and would love to know about any upcoming events happening not just in Bangalore but across India. Any leads on where to find such opportunities or tips on local hackathons would be greatly appreciated!

Hi there,

Yes, there are some exciting quantum hackathons happening in India that you should definitely check out! Here are a few of the notable ones:

QuantumX-24 – This tech festival at New Horizon College of Engineering, Bangalore, took place in January 2024. It covered multiple tech domains, with quantum computing being a key focus. Keep an eye on their future editions as they may return with quantum challenges (QuantumX).

Quant-A-Maze 2.0 – A 36-hour hackathon at NMIT, Bangalore, centered around quantum computing. The 2024 edition was held in November, so make sure to follow their updates for the 2025 version, which could be a great opportunity for you (Quant-A-Maze 2.0).

Other hackathons you might want to explore:

HackBangalore – A renowned hackathon series in Bangalore, typically focused on emerging technologies, including quantum computing projects. It was held in May 2024, so check for their upcoming 2025 dates(HackBangalore).

For a broader range of tech events and challenges, you can also look at:

HackerEarth Challenges – Primarily AI-related, but you may stumble upon quantum-specific hackathons here as well.

Here are more hackathon platforms you might want to explore, but I’m not sure if they include quantum-related challenges:

Best of luck, and enjoy your time in Bangalore!
