Chandigarh University hosts a 24-hour national AI hackathon titled “AI Nexus 2026,” according to reports from The Hindu and Business Line. The event brings together 70 teams that work over a single day to build AI solutions aimed at real-world challenges. Both outlets describe the hackathon as a platform for participants to develop and present their projects within a fast-paced format designed to encourage rapid prototyping and problem-solving.
The coverage is consistent in stating the event name, the 24-hour duration, and the participation level of 70 teams. However, the reports do not provide detailed information on the specific problem statements, the judging criteria, the categories of solutions, or any winners or awards. The available information therefore focuses mainly on the event’s hosting, duration, national scope, and the number of participating teams working on AI-based approaches to practical issues.
