XP is how HackIndia counts what you have done. You earn it for real work: entering hackathons, shipping projects, proving skills, finishing lessons and showing up. Your XP sets your level and your rank among all builders. It is never bought and never taken away.
The figures below are the ones the site pays, not estimates. Each group lists its largest award first.
The biggest XP on HackIndia is for building: entering, shipping a project and placing.
Every lesson pays, and a skill you prove pays far more. A verified skill also shows on your profile with its proof.
Small amounts that add up, and a streak that pays more the longer you keep it.
Answer questions in the forum. Answers that are accepted count most.
A complete profile is one-off XP and makes everything else you earn easier to find.
