Invitation to CodeFest - the international online coding festival of Computer Engineering Society, ITBHU

Hello , We are delighted to inform you that Codefest '11, the annual International online coding festival of Computer Engineering Society, IT-BHU , has been unveiled. CodeFest is a unique fest wherein concepts of mathematics, logic, artificial intelligence, algorithms, language syntax, etc. are required to be deployed in programming; these concepts manifest themselves in solving problems effectively and efficiently! CodeFest was started last year. CodeFest’10 was a phenomenal success with participation from all over the globe. CodeFest’11 is geared up with some new and pepped up events, while maintaining the integrity of its standards.

Here is a brief description of the constituent online events:

  • Mathmania: A mathematical puzzle contest that puts mathematical and computational skills to test.
  • Main Contest on Feb 27,10:00 pm
  • Manthan: An algorithm intensive programming contest that would require coders to tailor existing standard algorithms.
  • Main Contest on Mar 13,12:00 pm
  • Perplexed: A programming contest, aimed to test the knowledge of C, wherein codes will be rewarded against syntactic constraints.
  • Main Contest on Mar 11,12:00 pm
  • Ratespiel: A technical contest covering different areas of Computer Science.
  • Round 1A on Feb 12,10:00 pm
  • Round 1B on Feb 13,04:00pm
  • Round 1C on Feb 13,10:00pm
  • Virtual Combat: An educational game wherein teams of programmed robotic tanks will fight the battles for glory. Codes Do Fight! Watch this out.
  • Phase 1 already started. Visit our website for more details.

Few exciting statistics about CodeFest:
