PUBG Hackathon 2025: Nepal and India Unite for 48 Hours of Innovation
Jhapa is going global! From August 14–16, 2025 (29–31 Shrawan 2082), the Programmers Unknown Battleground (PUBG) Hackathon, organized by Developers Association Jhapa (DAJ) will transform Gomendra Multiple Campus, Birtamod into a high-energy, 48-hour battleground of innovation.
This isn’t just any hackathon. It’s the first-ever international tech battle in Jhapa, bringing together brilliant minds from Nepal and India for an adrenaline-pumping coding experience inspired by the thrill of PUBG. Think battle royale, but with lines of code, teamwork, and groundbreaking solutions instead of weapons.
Why This Event is a Game-Changer
