IIMS X Perceptron International Hackathon 2026 | 3.0

Build the Future of AI — From Data to Deployment in 48 Hours

Most AI hackathons start with a dataset.

This one starts with you.

At, in collaboration with, we bring you the IIMS x Perceptron Hackathon 3.0 — a high-intensity, 48-hour dataset-first AI sprint where ideas turn into real working AI systems.

This is not just about building models.

It’s about learning how AI is actually built in the real world —

From messy data → to clean datasets → to trained models → to impactful applications.

If you’ve ever wanted to move beyond tutorials and build something that actually works, this is your moment.

What Makes This Hackathon Different?

Forget plug-and-play datasets.

Here, you create your own.

This hackathon flips the traditional AI competition model:
You don’t just train a model → you build everything behind it too.

From collecting raw data to labeling and structuring it, you’ll experience the full AI pipeline the way real AI teams do it in industry.

Because in real AI → data is everything.

Event Details

• Dates: 26-27 June, 2026
• Format: Hybrid — In-person (Kathmandu) + Virtual (International)

What You’ll Do in 48 Hours

You and your team will go through a complete AI-building journey:

• Pick a real-world problem worth solving
• Collect or source raw data responsibly
• Build your own dataset using Auta
• Clean, organize, and label your data
• Train a Computer Vision AI model
• Test it on unseen real-world inputs
• Build a simple demo or prototype
• Present your idea like a real AI startup pitch

This is not theory.

This is hands-on AI creation under real pressure.

Where Ideas Can Go

You are free to innovate across powerful domains like:

• Healthcare AI
• Sports Analytics
• Satellite & Geo-imagery
• Media Intelligence
• Smart Surveillance
• Agriculture Tech
• Accessibility Solutions
