Vihaan X: Hardware Track

About the Competition Vihaan 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 Domains IoT – Connected devices and intelligent systems AgriTech – Technology for modern agriculture and farming Smart City & Civic Tech – Urban infrastructure and governance solutions Sustainability – Climate-conscious and eco-friendly innovations Open Innovation – Build anything innovative beyond the defined tracks; bring your own unique idea to life Team Size Maximum of 4 participants per team. Rounds:  Day 1: Building and developing projects, from core features to a working prototype Day 2 (around 10 AM): Project evaluation and judging Final Round: Shortlisted teams present to industry experts Winners are announced after final presentations improvise it Learning Opportunities Direct mentorship from experienced industry professionals throughout the event Hands-on exposure to circuit design, prototyping, and hardware development Real-world engineering practice built on teamwork and collaborative problem-solving Rewards Exciting cash prizes and exclusive rewards for winning teams Recognition for the most innovative and impactful hardware solutions The Opportunity Vihaan 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
