Smart India Hackathon internships for B.Tech students in Delhi

What students actually build

• Smart India Hackathon requires a working demo rather than a proposal, so teams ship end-to-end builds.
• SIH work often carries over into capstone projects and placement portfolios.

How VSET teaches Smart India Hackathon

Smart India Hackathon is a national problem-statement-based competition in which student teams build working solutions for government and industry challenges. VSET students take part in it, and it is the most established competitive project activity on campus. At VSET this maps to documented coursework depth inside B.Tech CSE.

• VSET students participate in Smart India Hackathon as part of established student activity.
• Entries require teams to scope, build and demonstrate working software or hardware against a published problem statement under time pressure.
• Teams apply the GGSIPU B.Tech core in programming, data structures, databases and networks directly to the problem statement.
• Participation is cross-branch in practice, since all seven VSET programmes share the same campus, labs and student structures.
• Problem statements, themes and the participation timeline are set nationally each year, so teams work from the current-year official announcement.

How students find them

Two channels, used together: the VIPS-TC placement cell, which coordinates campus internship drives, and direct outreach — applying to startups and labs with a specific project to point at. Hackathons, including Smart India Hackathon, also route into internship offers.
