They say it takes a lifetime to build a legacy. We believe it takes one weekend. This is the official trailer for hackCBS 8.0 The sound of the future holding its breath, right before it is born.

most college fests don't make it to edition 3. hackCBS is at 8. same college. same ethos. different students running it every time, which is actually the harder part to pull off. something's working!

what to bring to hackCBS: laptop. charger. student ID. that's genuinely it. no fancy setup. no expensive hardware. the kid who wins is not the one with the best gear, it's the one with the clearest idea and the stubbornness to see it through.

eligibility for hackCBS: - be a student - want to build something that's the whole list. doesn't matter what college, what country, what year you're in. if you have a student ID and an idea, you're in.

hackCBS team size: 2 to 4 people. sounds like a small detail. it's not. 5 member teams have passengers. solo hackers burn out by hour 20. 2-4 is the sweet spot where everyone's actually building something. we've seen it across 8 editions. the rule exists for a reason.

something about hackCBS that doesn't get said enough: the people running it are also students. same colleges, same deadlines, same chaos. no event management company. no full-time staff. just a crew doing this alongside their own sem exams. pretty inspiring & insane.

Got a dm asking if hackCBS is "only for experienced devs" it's not. not even close. we have mentors on the floor the entire time specifically for this. first hackathon is honestly the best time to come. nobody expects you to have it figured out. that's the point.

Your next job is probably in one of these spaces: AI. Web3. FinTech. HealthTech. IoT. EdTech. Cloud. those are also exactly the themes at hackCBS 8.0. not a coincidence.

hackCBS is free to attend not "free with a catch" not "free but pay for food". just free. $220,000 in benefits go to participants cash prizes, tool credits, licenses, the whole thing. students shouldn't have to pay to prove they can build. that's been the stance since day one

there's a specific moment at every hackathon. it's like 2am. your idea has changed 3 times. someone you met 14 hours ago is debugging your code. and somehow it's the most locked-in you've felt in months. that's the hackCBS experience. can't really explain it better than that.

you don't need to be a "10x dev" to show up at hackCBS. you just need to want to build something. that's literally it.

india's largest student-run hackathon. run BY students, FOR students. no gatekeeping, no fees, just building. that's hackCBS.
