IEEE Student Branch Organizes One-Day Programming Competition TECH-CODERS

The IEEE Student Branch of Don Bosco College of Engineering organized a One-day online Coding Competition “TECH CODERS” on  September 13, 2020  on HackerRank Platform for DBCE Students under the guidance of IEEE Branch Counselor, Prof. Yeshudas Muttu. The main objective of this competition was to enhance the student’s logical thinking and problem solving skills considering the current scenario with respect to placements. This also inspired a new level of enthusiasm for extra-curricular activities.

The C++ based Competition was scheduled from 3:00 pm – 6:00 pm & Python based Competition was scheduled from 6:30 pm – 9:30 pm. The Problem statements on C++ and Python coding were grouped into three different modules, i.e. Easy, Moderate & Difficult. Each module was allocated with one hour duration. The rules and score allotment for each block was provided to the contestants via an online mode well before the event.

The competition commenced at 3pm as scheduled. Module A had 8 easy level problem statements, each of 10 points; it included distinct substrings, greatest common divisor, frequent numbers, etc. The medium section, Module B had questions 20 points each based on sum of products, distinct rotations, smallest array, etc. The tough section, Module C had 4 questions of 30 points each.

At the end of C++ Programming Competition, the final scores were decided by the moderators and the ranks were as follows:

Python based competition commenced at 6:30pm with the competition format same as that of C++. The competition ended at 9:30pm, with the following rankings:

This event received an overwhelming response of 61 Signups on the HackerRank Platform. Principal- Dr. Neena Panandikar & HOD-ETC Dr. Varsha Turkar appreciated the efforts put in by the IEEE Team. Prof. Yeshudas Muttu congratulated the IEEE Committee Members for working tirelessly, right from formation of Problem statements, debugging the codes, developing test cases & making the HackerRank Platform ready for the competition. The participants showed great zeal & enthusiasm in coding & were awarded e-certificates for the same.
