About the Event

What is INNOV8 TMRRW?

HACKFEST – INNOV8 TMRW is a structured, multi-round hackathon initiative by CESA-VIT designed to transform innovative ideas into real-world solutions. Built around carefully curated, domain-specific challenges, the event provides students with a dynamic platform to explore problems, develop strategic approaches, and implement technology-driven innovations that address practical needs.

The hackathon fosters creativity, critical thinking, and collaborative problem-solving by encouraging participants to move beyond theoretical concepts and focus on tangible outcomes. With expert mentorship and a competitive yet supportive environment, teams refine their ideas, strengthen their execution, and enhance their presentation skills.

Through this journey, participants don’t just build projects — they design scalable, impactful solutions engineered for meaningful and lasting change.
