CodeWarz is a structured competitive programming event designed to evaluate participants' proficiency in coding, algorithms, and problem-solving. The competition features multiple rounds that test theoretical knowledge, analytical capability, coding accuracy, and response speed.
Event Overview:
Participants compete in teams of two and progress through a preliminary screening followed by an intensive multi-round main event. Each stage is designed to assess different dimensions of technical competence.
Round Structure:
Preliminary Round:
An MCQ-based assessment covering Programming Fundamentals and Data Structures & Algorithms (DSA).
Top-scoring teams will qualify for the Main Rounds.
Main Rounds:
The main event consists of four sub-rounds:
Coding Round:
Five programming problems of varying difficulty levels (Easy, Medium, Hard).
Evaluation focuses on logic, efficiency, and correctness.
Fill the Algorithm:
Teams analyze and correct incomplete algorithms.
Tests understanding of algorithmic flow and optimization.
Rapid Fire:
A quick-response technical round aimed at testing fundamental knowledge and presence of mind.
ReelsRiddle:
A visual interpretation round where participants identify programming concepts based on short video clips.
Evaluation Criteria:
Correctness of solutions and number of problems solved
Time taken to arrive at the solution
Quality of logic and optimisation (time & space)
Debugging skills and ability to handle edge cases
Team coordination and strategy
Rules & Guidelines:
Each team must consist of exactly two members.
Only the permitted languages and compilers in the lab may be used.
Internet access and external code templates are strictly not allowed.
Use of AI coding assistants is not permitted unless explicitly allowed by organisers.
Any malpractice will result in immediate disqualification.
Organisers and judges reserve the right to modify problems or scoring if required.
