Sahyadri College to Host ELECTROTHON 2026, a 24-Hour Hackathon on Industrial IoT and Safety
Mangaluru: The Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE), Sahyadri College of Engineering and Management, Mangaluru, in association with the IETE Student Forum, will organise ELECTROTHON 2026, a 24-hour hackathon, from September 18 to 19, 2026, on the college campus.
The hackathon, themed “Industrial IoT/Safety,” aims to provide engineering students with a platform to transform innovative ideas into practical solutions to real-world challenges. The event will focus on developing skills in problem-solving, embedded systems, the Internet of Things (IoT), electronics, programming, teamwork, and rapid prototyping.
Students from various engineering institutions are expected to participate in the 24-hour technical challenge. The event will provide participants with opportunities to collaborate, develop prototypes, and explore technology-driven solutions related to industrial IoT and safety.
Each participating team will consist of four members, with at least one female member in every team. Participants will remain on the campus throughout the hackathon. Basic medical assistance and necessary support facilities will be available at the venue to ensure a safe and comfortable experience for all participants.
Dr. Anush Bekal, Professor and Head of the Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering, said the hackathon is intended to encourage students to apply their technical knowledge to practical engineering problems while gaining hands-on experience in emerging technologies, rapid prototyping and collaborative innovation.
The hackathon is being organised by the Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering, Sahyadri College of Engineering and Management, in association with the IETE Student Forum.
Interested students can register for the event by scanning the QR code provided on the official event poster. Students from ECE and allied engineering branches have been invited to participate and use the opportunity to learn, innovate, collaborate, and develop solutions in a competitive 24-hour environment.
The organisers expressed confidence that ELECTROTHON 2026 will provide young innovators with valuable exposure to real-world engineering challenges while strengthening their technical, creative and teamwork skills.
