IIT Delhi to host national cybersecurity hackathon from Jan 16, how to apply - India Today is currently the only Other hackathon of its kind tracked by Droppa for the next 30 days — scarce supply in this niche.

This hackathon is free to attend — notable given that 0% of upcoming Other events we track are free.

The format skews intermediate. Win cash prizes up to ₹3 lakh, network with cybersecurity experts from IIT Delhi and industry sponsors, and gain hands-on experience solving live security challenges.

Strong pick — quality score 84/100 puts this in the top tier of Other events we currently track.
