What it is
Code for Good is JPMorgan Chase's global hackathon-plus-recruitment program, where shortlisted student teams spend an intensive hackathon building real software for nonprofit organisations, mentored by JPMorgan engineers. India's edition draws from a large applicant pool - a single event has run with 600-700 students across roughly 100 teams - screened down through an online assessment and an interview before the hackathon itself.
Rounds
01. HackerRank test
An online technical assessment on HackerRank, the first filter from the full applicant pool.
02. HireVue AI interview
An asynchronous, recorded interview evaluated for both technical and behavioural signal.
03. Hackathon
Shortlisted students (recent India editions: around 600-700 students in roughly 100 teams) build software for a real nonprofit partner over an intensive multi-day event, mentored by JPMorgan engineers.
