How to register on the Eureka! portal

Registering on ecell.in/eureka with our NEC referral ID by 20 August 2026 is mandatory for every pitching team — it is what keeps you eligible for the Eureka! 2026 Zonal round.

1. 1

   Open the official Eureka! portal

   Go to ecell.in/eureka — the official platform by E-Cell IIT Bombay. Sign up with your team leader's email.

2. 2

   Create your team

   Fill in your startup or idea details. Use the same team name you registered with on our site so we can match them.

3. 3

   Enter our NEC referral ID

   In the referral field, enter our NEC ID exactly as shown below. This links your team to our campus round — skip it and your team cannot be evaluated for Zonals.

4. 4

   Note down your Eureka! Team ID

   After registering you receive a Team ID. Copy it.

5. 5

   Add the Team ID to our form

   Paste it into the Eureka! step of our team registration — or send it to us later, before the deadline, if you have already submitted.

Prefer doing this in person? Visit the E-Cell desk on campus — our team will complete both registrations with you in a few minutes.
