Vihaan X: Hardware Track

About the CompetitionVihaan X is one of North India's largest student-run hackathons, organized by IEEE DTU.The Hardware Track challenges participants to turn innovative ideas into tangible, working prototypes that solve real-world problems.Teams collaborate under time pressure, designing and building functional hardware solutions within an intensive 24-hour sprint.The track is built around creativity, technical experimentation, and genuine hands-on engineering — not just theory.It's a platform where builders think fast, iterate faster, and walk away with something real.Hardware Track DomainsIoT – Connected devices and intelligent systemsAgriTech – Technology for modern agriculture and farmingSmart City & Civic Tech – Urban infrastructure and governance solutionsSustainability – Climate-conscious and eco-friendly innovationsOpen Innovation – Build anything innovative beyond the defined tracks; bring your own unique idea to lifeTeam SizeMaximum of 4 participants per team.Rounds: Day 1: Building and developing projects, from core features to a working prototypeDay 2 (around 10 AM): Project evaluation and judgingFinal Round: Shortlisted teams present to industry expertsWinners are announced after final presentations improvise itLearning OpportunitiesDirect mentorship from experienced industry professionals throughout the eventHands-on exposure to circuit design, prototyping, and hardware developmentReal-world engineering practice built on teamwork and collaborative problem-solvingRewardsExciting cash prizes and exclusive rewards for winning teamsRecognition for the most innovative and impactful hardware solutionsThe OpportunityVihaan X creates an electrifying environment where creativity, teamwork, and innovation collide.Participants don't just build prototypes — they build practical, real-world experience in hardware development.Whether you're a first-timer or a seasoned builder, this is 24 hours to prove what you can create.Venue: Delhi Technological University
