Contest Format
The contest lasts for five hours. Each team has to solve a set of six
to nine problems on a single computer in JAVA, C or C++. To get an idea
of the kind of problems, have a look at this problem set archive, which
contains a large number of problems from past contests. Go to this page
for more information on getting ready for the contest.
Contestants may bring reference materials such as books and manuals;
but neither machine-readable versions nor their own computers or pocket
calculators are allowed. Mobile phones are not allowed in the contest
hall. Any team attempting to tamper the machines, or disrupt the contest
environment in any way will be disqualified.
Solutions are judged by running them for some secret test cases. The
contest judges are solely responsible for determining the correctness
of the submitted solutions; their decision is final. Teams are ranked
according to the most problems solved. Teams who solve the same number
of problems are ranked by least total time.
Each participant will receive a certificate of participation. Local sponsors
are invited to donate awards for the winning team.
