What is Dhack ?

DHack stands as an inaugural designathon competition organized by the dynamic Students’ Association of Information Technology (S@IT). Over the past seven years, DHack has been at the forefront of fostering innovation and creativity in the realm of technology, setting a benchmark for excellence in every phase. As we embark on our eighth consecutive edition, we reflect on our journey of success, having concluded six highly acclaimed phases that have left an indelible mark on the landscape of innovation.

What makes this edition particularly noteworthy is our bold decision to open up this prestigious competition to all undergraduate students, transcending boundaries and welcoming talent from across universities. This transformation into an Inter-university competition marks a significant milestone in our quest to broaden the horizons of innovation and collaboration.
