  Frequently Asked Questions

  1. What is Code Relay 2.0?

  Code Relay 2.0 is a team-based, relay-style competitive programming and project development competition where participants collaboratively solve coding challenges and build solutions by passing partially completed code or tasks to their teammates.

  2. What is the theme of the event?

  The event revolves around the theme "Algorithmic Intelligence to Real-World Impact." Participants are challenged to solve problems and develop projects that apply algorithms to real-world scenarios.
  3. Who can participate?

  Participation is open to undergraduate (UG) students, postgraduate (PG) students, and research scholars from any discipline with an interest in coding.

  4. Is prior coding competition experience required to participate?

  No prior experience is required. Basic programming knowledge is sufficient, as the event emphasizes learning through hands-on experience and teamwork.

  5. What is the team size?

  Unless otherwise specified, teams typically consist of 3-4 members collaborating in a relay format.

  (Final team size may be confirmed in the official brochure).

  6. What is meant by "Relay Format"?

  Relay format means that:

  Only one team member works at a time.

  After a fixed time or completing a portion of the task, they pass the code/task to the next member.

  The next member continues from where it was left off.

  This format evaluates coordination, comprehension of teammates' code, and teamwork, rather than just individual speed.

  7. What skills will be tested?

  The competition focuses on:

  • Data Structures

  • Algorithms

  • Logical Reasoning

  • Debugging

  • Code Optimisation

  • Real-World Problem Solving

  • Team Communication and Code Handover

  8. What domains or languages are allowed?

  Multiple programming languages/platforms may be permitted (C, C++, Python, Java, etc.) depending on the problem statement. Final details will be shared before event day
