The whole objective of the programme is to make the students win in the competitions like ACM ICPC, Google Codejam, Facebook HackerCup, etc. in the second year itself. Evaluation is based on the problem solved in the online judges like CodeChef, HackerEarth, CodeForces, etc. Students will have to demonstrate the skills by participating in the live contests hosted by the above online judging platforms.
