Hack@Arch is a prestigious event for tech-enthusiast students from across the country to showcase their skills and gain hands-on experience, helping them prepare for a successful future in the tech world. In addition to hard skills, participants also develop essential soft skills like teamwork and communication, which are equally important for their career growth.

Launched in 2022 and now in its fourth edition, Hack@arch is hosted at the Government Engineering College Thrissur (GECT). It was initially organized by TinkerHub Gect in collaboration with IEEE SB Gect, with Arch.ai Gect taking over as the co-organizer starting from last year. The first two editions Hack@Arch 1.0 and 2.0 followed a traditional 36-hour hackathon structure, featuring 15 finalist teams competing for cash prizes up to 30K.

Last year, the third edition, Hack@Arch 3.0 made a milestone with a scaled up total cash prize of ₹1.15 lakhs and introduced non-tech events along with other tech events to ensure there is something for everyone, not just those competing in the hackathon.

Hack@Arch 4.0 is the next edition of Hack@Arch which mainly includes an 18 hour hackathon and startup simulation competitions among other exciting events.
