The DevHack 2026 look, on an example deck

The DevHack 2026 idea template rebuilt: the dark Greek-temple sunset cover with your team name, members and details, and white slides with the Sahyadri, DevHost, SOSC and Synergia logos across the top.

How it works

1Start from the button
The DevHack 2026 template comes picked, with its slide order and its look. (Or start a deck, choose Slides and pick it under “Follow a template”.)
2Give it your material
The problem statement, your idea notes with the team details the cover asks for, and your repo or screenshots if you have them.
3Answer its questions
It asks for any cover detail your notes don’t have, and what it needs to know about the idea.
4Check it and submit the PDF
Fix a word on the page yourself or ask for changes, then download the PDF.

The round

Organiser: Sahyadri College of Engineering & Management, Mangaluru (DevHost 2026, Sahyadri Open Source Community)
Idea round: Closed (22 October 2026 (PPT round); the finale is 12–14 November on campus)
What you submit: One PDF or .pptx (up to 50 MB) of the template’s exact eight slides, none added or removed, named after your team, with a link to a demo video of up to 4 minutes; you can resubmit until the deadline

A rebuild, not affiliated. devreport is not affiliated with DevHack 2026 or Sahyadri College of Engineering & Management, Mangaluru (DevHost 2026, Sahyadri Open Source Community). The theme copies the layout of the organiser’s template file; the round’s rules decide what you may submit.

The 8 slides of the template

Pick the DevHack 2026 template and the deck follows these, in this order, in the template’s look.

Slide	What the template asks for	What to give devreport
1. Team Name (cover)	Team name, the four members, team leader email and phone, college name, problem statement ID	These, word for word, in your notes. It copies them and never guesses
2. Problem Statement	A description of the problem statement	The problem statement text and its ID
3. Solution Overview	An overview of the project	Your idea notes: what it does and how it solves the problem
4. Technical Approach	The tools you use (Tool1, Tool2, Tool3)	Your stack, or a repo it can read
5. Diagrams/Flow Charts/Visuals	A brief walkthrough of how the system works and the architecture diagram	A rough flow in words or a Mermaid diagram, screenshots if you have them
6. Impacts and Benefits	The key impact and benefits to users and society, with measurable outcomes where possible	Who it is for and any numbers you can source
7. Business Impact & Scalability	Business value (cost, revenue, market opportunity) and how it scales across users, locations and use cases	What you know about the market and costs; it won’t make figures up
8. Additional links	GitHub repo link, demo video link (YouTube or Google Drive, at most 4 minutes), deployment link (optional)	The links themselves; a missing one is left blank for you to fill in

Questions

Is this the official DevHack 2026 template?

It is a rebuild of the template Sahyadri College of Engineering & Management, Mangaluru (DevHost 2026, Sahyadri Open Source Community) gives for the idea round: the same slides, in the same order, with its look. devreport is not affiliated with DevHack 2026 or Sahyadri College of Engineering & Management, Mangaluru (DevHost 2026, Sahyadri Open Source Community), and the result is a PDF, not the template file itself.

Can I submit the devreport PDF?

The round asks for one PDF or .pptx (up to 50 MB) of the template’s exact eight slides, none added or removed, named after your team, with a link to a demo video of up to 4 minutes; you can resubmit until the deadline. If your round wants the template file itself, copy the text, diagrams and charts into it. Check the organiser’s rules when in doubt.

We only have an idea, no code yet. Does it still work?

Yes. A repo is optional. Upload the problem statement, your notes on the idea and any data or screenshots, and it writes the slides from those. It won’t invent research, users or results you don’t give it.

Can I fix things myself before submitting?

Yes. Click any text on a slide to change it, move or resize charts and pictures, or ask for a change in plain words. Hand edits are free.

How long does it take?

Usually three to five minutes, a little longer for a big repo, plus the time you take to answer its questions.

What does it cost?

New accounts get 15 free credits. A deck costs 10 credits and each change you ask for afterwards costs 1; editing text on the page yourself and switching themes are free. A build that fails gives its credits back.
