Goldman Sachs hackathon upload

Goldman Sachs has opened applications for its India Hackathon 2026, a virtual 12-hour coding contest for students in India graduating in 2027 or 2028. (goldmansachs.com) The firm says participants can enter computer science, quantitative finance, or both tracks. The event is individual, not team-based, according to the official FAQ. (goldmansachs.com) (cdn.hackerrank.com) Goldman Sachs describes the hackathon as a two-day event with 12 total hours of coding on real-world technical and quantitative problems. The contest is run virtually through HackerRank. (goldmansachs.com) (cdn.hackerrank.com) The official page frames the program as part of Goldman Sachs’ student recruiting in India, not a public demo day or product showcase. Top performers can be considered for interviews tied to the firm’s hiring pipeline. (goldmansachs.com) (cdn.hackerrank.com) That makes the circulating YouTube upload less a record of live team presentations than a creator-made explainer about how the hackathon works. The video linked in the prompt was uploaded on April 24, 2026, by Upasana Chaudhuri, not by Goldman Sachs’ official YouTube channel. (youtube.com 1) (youtube.com 2) The video description says it breaks down eligibility, application details and preparation for students interested in coding, fintech and artificial intelligence. It does not present itself as an official event recording. (youtube.com) Goldman Sachs’ FAQ says eligible students must meet graduation-year requirements and register through the hackathon process hosted on HackerRank. The document describes the challenge as a skills test on technical and quantitative problems rather than a collaborative build sprint. (cdn.hackerrank.com) Third-party recruiting posts have emphasized Apple-device prizes and possible pre-placement interviews, but those claims should be read against the official Goldman Sachs and HackerRank materials. The firm’s own pages are the clearest source on format, eligibility and recruiting use. (talentd.in) (goldmansachs.com) (cdn.hackerrank.com) The practical takeaway is simple: Goldman Sachs has launched a recruiting contest in India, and the viral video is an unofficial guide to that process, not footage from the hackathon itself.
