Year one — founded with the first batch

The college opened its doors in 2025, and DevForge started with it. One batch, a first set of workshops, and the first wins on the board before the year was out.

  • DevForge founded at NST x SVYASA alongside the college's first-ever batch
  • First workshops run by members: Getting Started with Open Source (Sahitya Singh), Web Development Bootcamp (Unnati Jaiswal), AI & Machine Learning 101 (Sujan YD)
  • 2 first-place hackathon wins in the first year, including the DevForge Hackathon and Ideathon
  • First members start contributing to GSSoC-affiliated open-source organizations

Scale

The year the numbers became the story — a live, verifiable record instead of a highlight reel.

  • 6 first-place hackathon wins across CodeDay, Campfire Bengaluru, and AI for a Drug-Free India
  • GSoC 2026 selection
  • A GSSoC leaderboard with members ranked in the low hundreds
  • A weekly session calendar running through masterclasses, monthly hackathons, and big events
