Hello World!

Whether you're a beginner, a pro, or somewhere in between, Coding is always for everyone. No //comments about it, so let’s spice things up with a coding contest. NITS HACKS 5.0 is back in association with Coding Club NIT Silchar, traversing you to an Inter College Coding Competition to develop your coding, real problem-solving abilities, and experience worth remembering.

The coding competition is open to all undergraduate programmers in India, although everyone is encouraged to participate in it. It will be split into preliminary and final rounds according to ICPC guidelines.

20 teams (Top 15 teams and 5 NITS teams) will be invited to participate in the on-site final round. These teams will be given travelling expenses (up to 1K INR per person), accommodation, local hospitality, and basic facilities by the institute.
