Call for Mentors | Q-HACK INDIA

QuantumRIT is a student-led quantum computing community at Ramaiah Institute of Technology, Bengaluru, focused on making quantum technology accessible through learning, building and collaboration.

As part of Quantum Week 2026, our flagship quantum technology initiative and an IBM Qiskit Fall Fest program, we are hosting Q-HACK INDIA 2026: The Quantum Build Challenge, a national-level quantum hackathon bringing together students and builders to explore real-world applications of quantum computing and emerging technologies.

We are inviting researchers, industry professionals, developers and quantum enthusiasts to join us as Mentors and help participating teams turn their ideas into working solutions.

What Mentors Will Do
Selected mentors will be assigned teams based on their area of expertise and preferred track. Mentorship will be conducted online, with 1-to-1 sessions with the allotted team(s) during the mentorship period.
The sessions can be scheduled at a mutually convenient time between the mentor and team, allowing mentors to contribute without disrupting their existing commitments.
