About
Hacktoberfest Hack Day Ranchi
This in-person Hack Day is part of Hacktoberfest 2026 and is designed to take participants beyond simply learning about open source. You’ll actually build, contribute, experiment, and ship.
Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced developer, come together with fellow developers and students to learn, collaborate, contribute to open source, and complete your pull/merge requests.
📍 Venue: Dr. Shyama Prasad Mukherjee University, New Academic Building, Morabadi, Ranchi
🗓️ Date: 24th October 2026
⏰ Time: 8:30 AM – 4:30 PM
💻 Format: Physical / In-person
👥 Team & Registration
The Hack Day supports teams of 2–4 members.
Important: Registration is individual. Registering yourself doesn’t means confirmation, confirmation of your seat will be announced to you via email based on the evaluation of GitHub and LinkedIn profiles.
Every participant must register separately, even if you are participating as a team.
You can register with your teammates and form your team beforehand.
You can also register solo and find teammates at the venue.
There is no separate team registration form.
Teams can have 2 to 4 members.
So, if you are coming as a team of 3, all 3 members need to complete the registration individually.
