Rules

 
1. Cash prizes will be awarded to the top three teams.
2. Certificates will be given to all participants who solve at least one problem.
3. Registration entries and accommodation are on a first-come first-serve basis. There can be at most 3 persons per team.  
4. Any student at a registered at an academic institute (high school/grad/undergrad) is eligible to take part in the competition (Phd Students not allowed).  
5. The languages allowed would be C, C++ and Java would be allowed. No textbooks/notes will be allowed for the competition. MSDN and Java Docs will be provided for the competition.  
6. The competition would include a number of challenging problems each of which would require you to develop some algorithm and get the output in a fixed format on the console. The output would be matched character-to-character with the output of our program through a software, PC2 specially designed for this purpose (refer to ‘the Instructions document’). The scoring would hence be 0/1 i.e. either correct or incorrect. The decision of the Judges will be final. For every incorrect submission, there would be a specific time penalty.
7. If there is a tie on the number of problems solved, the scoring will depend on the time taken since the start of competition to the time of correct submission and the number of wrong submissions.  
8. Do try out the sample problems from any of the practice sites provided on the site.
