Battle of Algorithms

Eligibility: Open to undergraduate and postgraduate students from all disciplines Participants must carry a valid college ID card Team Composition: Team size: 1–2 members per team Inter-department participation allowed Each participant can be part of only one team Teams must remain present throughout the competition duration Event Overview: A multi-round coding challenge testing algorithmic thinking, problem-solving, and computational efficiency. Problems increase in difficulty: Easy → Medium → Hard. Focus on algorithms, data structures, logical reasoning, and real-world computational problems. Competition Flow: Registration: Register via the official portal before the deadline. Coding Rounds: Multiple rounds on a secure online coding platform with a live leaderboard. Evaluation: Based on problems solved, accuracy, time taken, and penalties for incorrect submissions. Technical / Coding Specifications: Conducted on a secure online platform. Internet access restricted to the platform. Unauthorized materials, devices, or external assistance prohibited. Allowed Programming Languages: C, C++, Java, Python, JavaScript (if supported). Submission Guidelines: All code must be submitted via the designated platform. Late submissions will not be evaluated. Failure to follow platform instructions may result in disqualification. Fair Play & Conduct: Copying code from others or online sources prohibited. No communication between participants during the contest. Use of mobile phones or unauthorized devices prohibited. Violations will result in immediate disqualification. Participants must maintain professional and respectful conduct. Judging Criteria: Algorithmic efficiency Logical approach Code accuracy Optimization and performance Time management Adherence to problem constraints Judges’ and organizers’ decisions are final Technical Issues: Report system or connectivity failures immediately. Additional time may be granted if the issue is verified as event-related. Prizes & Certification: Winner and Runner-up prizes Certificates of Achievement Recognition during the award ceremony Participation certificates for all registered participants
