About the Event

Agentic AI Hackathon 2026 is a 24-hour offline hackathon where students build real AI agents capable of thinking, planning, using tools, and completing tasks autonomously.

This event introduces participants to the future of AI — Agentic Systems — through hands-on learning, real-world problem statements, and competitive building. Participants will design end-to-end intelligent agents that reason, act, and deliver results.
