UX Imperium

Netaji Subhas University of Technology (NSUT), Delhi

About This Scheme

A two-phased UX design hackathon by NSUT Delhi — teams build scalable design systems and face real-time challenges for a ₹15,000 prize pool.

UX Imperium is a cutting-edge, two-phased UX design hackathon organised by D’Code NSUT, the technical society of Netaji Subhas University of Technology (NSUT), Delhi. This competition pushes the boundaries of user experience and creative problem-solving — it's not just about making a beautiful app, but about building a robust, scalable design system under pressure.

Who Should Apply Open to students and early-career designers, developers, and product enthusiasts across India. Teams of 2–4 members. Individual participants can form teams during registration.

Format & Timeline The competition unfolds in two phases

Judging Criteria Judging is based on creativity, usability, scalability of the design system, and ability to handle constraints.
AI tools may only be used for basic assets (icons, minor illustrations).
Generating entire screens, layouts, or written content via AI is strictly prohibited and will lead to disqualification.
Prizes
Eligibility Teams of 2–4 members. Participants must bring their own laptops and chargers for the offline round (basic Wi-Fi will be provided).
About the Organiser Netaji Subhas University of Technology (NSUT), Delhi, is a premier engineering institution in India.
D’Code NSUT is its official technical society, known for organising hackathons, workshops, and tech events that foster innovation among students.
How to Apply Register via the Unstop link provided. Registration closes on August 13, 2026.

Benefits

Winning teams take home cash prizes from a ₹15,000 pool: ₹7,000 for the winner, ₹5,000 for 1st runner-up, and ₹3,000 for 2nd runner-up.
All winners also receive certificates.
Prize money is awarded based on judged performance across the two-round competition — an online design submission round followed by an on-campus finale at NSUT — rather than as project funding, so teams keep full ownership of their work and owe nothing back.
