CodeCrafter by IgniteX 2.0

CodeCrafter is an individual problem-solving and programming event where participants attempt timed coding challenges designed to assess logical thinking, algorithm familiarity, critical reasoning, and efficiency in implementation. Guidelines: Eligibility: Open to all engineering undergraduate and postgraduate students. Students from any specialization (CSE, IT, ECE, EE, ME, CE, etc.) can participate. Individual participation only (no teams). Participants must be enrolled in a recognized engineering educational institution. Format: Single Round – Offline Coding Challenge: Participants will attempt coding problems individually. The round will be conducted offline at IMI Kolkata campus. The challenge will be conducted on IMI Kolkata’s official secured OLT platform, which is also used for institutional examinations. Participants will receive problem statements and an integrated IDE within the platform. What participants must do: 2 to 3 coding questions/problems Submit optimized solutions within the time limit. Participants will write code using the provided IDE on OLT. Once submitted, the solutions will automatically be evaluated against 10 predefined test cases.Scoring will be based on passed cases, and in the event of a tie, the participant with the earlier submission time will rank higher. Duration: Total duration of the round: 1 hour Rules: General Rules: This is strictly an individual participation event. Each participant must write and submit their own code. Plagiarism, code-sharing, or seeking external assistance will result in disqualification. Decision of judges and event coordinators will be final and binding. Participants must report to the venue on time; delayed entries may not be allowed. Round-Specific Rules: Submissions after time expiry will not be evaluated. Only one final submission per problem will be considered for evaluation. Code must be executable and logically correct. Partial scoring may apply based on test-case clearance. Evaluation Criteria: Number of test cases passed Correctness of output Submission time (used as tie-breaker) Logical clarity and structure of code Time and space efficiency All evaluations and scoring will be generated directly through the OLT platform, ensuring transparency and uniformity.
