About NeuralHack
This hackathon is specially designed for students to stimulate skills like problem-solving and creative thinking to crack industrial complexities with their codes. We have successfully executed five seasons of Neuralhack. We are pleased to share that season five received the highest registrations from over a hundred thousand students. We extended about a thousand job offers and internship opportunities to our participants. This year, in an effort toprovide an opportunity for as many students as possible, we are extending this competition to all branches of BE/Btech, ME/Mtech, and MSc/MCA.

Testimonials
I am glad to share my experience as a NeuralHack Season 3 finalist. My Journey with Virtusa started during the final year of my B.Tech when I participated in the Neural Hackathon, the first hackathon of my career. I was enthusiastic about going in the right direction toward my career goal. NeuralHack allowed me to get aware of all new technologies and interact with skilled full developers of different backgrounds in one place at a time. As a finalist of Neural Hack Season 3, I got two offers from Virtusa. One was a pre-placement offer, and another one was paid internship offer. So, I officially joined Virtusa as an intern in 2020. I was excited and ready to take advantage of this opportunity. Soon I joined Virtusa as a full-time employee. Having a chance to work with Virtusa’s top clients empowered me to grow and learn every day.
Neural Hack was not just a platform for me to explore and showcase myself but also a space that gave the essence of solving problems and learning from my team members. Being part of NeuralHack 3 inspired me to push myself to learn and explore new technologies, fail, and overcome the failures.
At NeuralHack, I met people from different parts of the country. It was a great space to gain knowledge and work as a team in full-stack development. We got a mentor from Virtua. He helped and motivated us a lot. The contest was tough, but we gave our best and completed it successfully. Today, I am working for Virtusa as a full-time employee. Virtusa is a great platform to learn about the latest technology. I’m happy to be part of this organization.
In 2019, I participated in NeuralHack-3, which was a wonderful experience. I would not believe in my ability to develop something innovative with not much experience. But today, my self-confidence and creativity have certainly increased a lot. As a team, we won the hackathon, and I got an offer with a good package in Virtusa. Now I am being a part of Virtusa and getting a lot of experiences and learning new skills and technologies. NeuralHack is the greatest platform to learn, teach, challenge, test, and share ideas, technologies, and methodologies. I am delighted to be a finalist of NeuralHack-3. Thanks to my college and Virtusa for such an opportunity.
Being a part of Virtusa NeuralHack Season 4 enabled me to explore my strengths, experience applied learning, and a chance to stand as a winner among 60,000+ registrations. Winning the NeuralHack is one of the great moments to remember in my life. The last round was an eight-week-long continuous learning program under the guidance of a mentor. Virtusa provided us with an excellent opportunity to work on our skills. The amount of effort and time they put in was truly unimaginable. With NeuralHack, I got an opportunity to work on the things I enjoy as I started my career with Virtusa as an Associate Engineer-Technology.
I am one of the winners of NeuralHack Season 4. NeuralHack was a blast for me. I got to work with an awesome team on a leading-edge project and learned a lot about technology and business. Our mentors helped us understand the project requirements better, and we could reach out to them whenever we had any doubts. NeuralHack is a great opportunity for students to get corporate exposure. Our experience was no less than working as full-time employees. It was a great learning experience being a part of Virtusa.
