The Great RAG-athon

Build a RAG system that actually finds the right answer.

Registration openStarts 26 Sep 2026, 10:00Ends 27 Sep 2026, 18:00Online

A weekend hackathon for anyone who wants to build a real retrieval-augmented generation system — pick your own dataset, wire up retrieval, and show us it actually beats a plain LLM call.

Rules

  • Teams of up to 4 (solo is fine too).
  • Build a working RAG-based retrieval/QA system over a dataset of your choice.
  • Submit a working demo and your source code by the submission deadline — no swaps after judging starts.
  • Judged on: does it work, code quality, and how much retrieval actually improves answers over a plain LLM call.
  • Standard code of conduct applies — be respectful, no plagiarized submissions, credit any external libraries or datasets you use.

Prizes

₹30,000 cash-equivalent prize pool for the winning team(s).
