Event Overview
Algo Race is a high-intensity competitive coding event designed to test participants' speed, accuracy, and depth of algorithmic understanding under strict time constraints.
Participants will be challenged to implement multiple algorithms in real time, pushing their ability to think logically, code efficiently, and perform under pressure. Unlike typical coding contests that allow extended time, this event emphasizes rapid problem-solving and execution, simulating real-world scenarios where quick decision-making is critical.
Important Rules:
Use of AI tools (such as ChatGPT, Copilot, Claude, or any generative AI platform) is strictly prohibited during the event.
Participants must rely solely on their own knowledge and understanding.
Any form of malpractice or external assistance will lead to immediate disqualification.
Participation Details:
Team Size: Solo Participation
Event Mode: Offline
Event Format:
Problem Structure
Participants will be given a total of 10 algorithm-based problems, categorized by difficulty:
Easy: 5 questions → 5 minutes each
Medium: 3 questions → 7 minutes each
Hard: 2 questions → 10 minutes each
Execution Flow:
Problems will be presented sequentially.
Each problem must be solved within its allotted time.
Participants must write fully functional code for each algorithm.
Task Requirements:
Participants must:
Have working knowledge of at least one programming language: Python / Java / C / C++
Be comfortable with core algorithmic concepts such as:
Sorting & Searching
Recursion
Basic Data Structures
Time Complexity awareness
Evaluation Criteria:
Primary Factor: First participant to submit the correct solution within the given time
Secondary Factors:
Code correctness
Efficiency
Completion rate
Objective of the Event:
This event is designed to:
Develop fast logical reasoning and algorithmic thinking
Improve coding speed and real-time problem-solving ability
Train participants to perform under strict time pressure
Strengthen understanding of core computer science fundamentals
Prepare students for technical interviews and competitive programming environments
