CodeChef MHSSCE Campus Chapter
A complete Lockdown was declared in India on March 24th until May 3rd. All the
institutes and administrative bodies are closed since the world is facing the pandemic
of CORONA. In this duration online teaching is in trend. Taking advantage of it
Competitive coding competition was organised. Competitive coding has various
benefits it gives a head start to the students about technical interviews. Gives them an
idea as to where they stand technically and how much they need to improve also a
fun way to study in quarantine. In order to utilize the time during the quarantine
team of “ThinkCode-Programmers Club of MHSSCE”, Department of Computer
Engineering introduced the first chapter of “Codentine” in association with “Code
Chef”.
Outcome of Competitive Coding
Competition:
Codentine was a competition organised in
association with “Code Chef”, not only
with a motive to get solution to the
problem statements but was an efficient
platform designated during the times of
quarantine for talented like-minded
programmers to come together to
compete and learn in an interesting way.
Competitive Programming is a brain
game that tests a programmer’s problem-
solving skills. By solving progressively
hard problems in live-contests, a
participant’s analytical and rational
thinking intensifies.
Contest programmers are usually faster
coders. Solving challenging problems in a short period of time will get any programmer
accustomed to strict deadlines, which is usually an advantage in the professional work
pace.
Contest programmers develop many skills that are key points to software engineering.
The best software companies still value candidates based on their technical aptitude.
Some consider technical aptitude a good proxy for general smartness and include it as
part of their screening process.
Most programmers don’t have anything tangible to verify some of the claims on their
resume, especially if they’re fresh out of college or seeking internships as a high school
student.
Results from online coding competitions show where a programmer stacks up
compared to their peers. Competitive programming communities have leader boards
that list competitors’ performance in contests.

Based on the intricate and abbreviated nature of competitive programming, it takes
intense focus to excel at it. As a by-product of competing and strict, continual training,
competitive programmers usually develop the ability to focus better and longer.
Coding competitions are a great way for young coders to apply what they know in a fun
context and improve their analytical and problem-solving skills. By entering coding
competitions, kids can get that real-world experience of coding to solve a problem or
hone their coding skills
The competition was appreciated by the participants through their positive feedback
and the competition was conducted throughout the nation and students from various
colleges across India actively participated.
