You do not need hackathon experience to use this list. These 5 live opportunities give you enough time to read the rules, decide whether they fit, and submit something you are proud of.
New here? In a hackathon, you build a project or prototype before a deadline. In a case competition, you analyse a business problem and present a recommendation. Beginners can enter both; always check the organiser's eligibility rules first.

- Easiest place to start: Hack to Survive, 3 days left, online, team 1 to 4.
- Largest stated prize: Case-O-Nova 8.0, ₹2L, 2 days left.
