Hello, We are delighted to inform you that CodeFest, 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. Manthan: An algorithm intensive programming contest that would require coders to tailor existing standard algorithms to solve real life computation problems. Virtual Combat: An educational game wherein teams of programmed robotic tanks will fight the battles for glory. Codes Do Fight!. Perplexed: A programming contest, aimed to test the knowledge of C, wherein codes will be rewarded against syntactic constraints. Ratespiel: A technical quiz covering different areas of Computer Science. This year CodeFest, Technex'11, brings onsite events: Eniac: An open software exhibition where you get an opportunity to demonstrate your software from any domain. Code Warrior: A multiple round contest to award the title of 'ultimate computer geek'. Visit our website: itbhu.ac.in/codefest to get more details. Few exciting statistics about CodeFest'10: 2354 registrations (including 128 professionals) from 680 different institutions, across 59 countries. Some participants were among the winners of Google Code Jam, Top Coder SRMs and ACM ICPC. Total prize money was a whopping amount of 260,000 INR! CodeFest '10 was the largest online coding festival of the Indian subcontinent in 2010 in terms of prize money! CodeFest'10 was the second largest online coding festival of the Indian subcontinent in 2010, next to Bitwise. Gained recognition from several international organizations including Codechef, Adobe, British Telecom, TCS and IEEE. The CodeFest'11 team has set out to unleash a coding extravaganza. You can't afford to miss the chance to be a part of this fest! Still have any questions?
