ABOUT OFF-GRID

BUILT FOR BUILDERS WHO SHIP UNDER PRESSURE

OFF-GRID is a high-energy 36-hour hackathon designed for builders who love shipping fast, thinking creatively, and working with real constraints.

Teams will get a random problem statement + a fixed required tech stack during the offline hackathon. No choosing your comfort zone.

The event runs in two phases: an online shortlisting round followed by a 36-hour offline hackathon at KIET Deemed To Be University.
