Code Hackathon

We are a team of students in GITAM that aim to promote coding as being fun, challenging & most of all #NotBoring

In collaboration with the Department of CSE, we organise frequent coding competitions called 'Code Hackathons' on a bi-monthly basis on Saturday afternoons. We may on occasion also take classes to discuss and try out various programming techniques and challenges to further enhance your skills.

  • Each question must pass the hidden test cases in addition to the given sample test cases.
  • Each test case has some predefined weightage as a part of the total score of the question, and these may not be equal.
  • The attendees are to attempt these questions in one of the labs assigned.
