The IEEE Electron Devices Society (EDS) Student Branch Chapter, Parala Maharaja Engineering College (PMEC), in collaboration with the IEEE Student Branch PMEC, IEEE Council on Electronic Design Automation (CEDA), and the Department of Electronics & Telecommunication Engineering, proudly presents the Edge AI Hackathon 2026.

Edge AI Hackathon 2026 is a national-level hardware innovation challenge that brings together students to develop innovative solutions in Edge AI, Embedded Systems, FPGA, Raspberry Pi, Renesas, ESP32, Arduino, and Semiconductor Technologies. Participants will progress through abstract submission, software simulation, and on-site hardware implementation, culminating in a final demonstration before an expert jury.

With a ₹45,000 prize pool, the hackathon is open to B.Tech., M.Tech., and Ph.D. students in teams of 3–5 members.

The attached Event Poster and Problem Statement Document provide an overview of the competition and available tracks. For registration, eligibility, detailed problem statements, competition rules, timeline, FAQs, and all official updates, participants are strongly encouraged to visit the official hackathon website:
