DSA and Competitive Programming
Introduction to Competitive Programming and resources for practice
Date: 30th October 2021
Timing: 4:30 PM to 6:30 PM
No. of attendees: 30
Brief
On 30th October 2021, the CodeChef Chapter of Deen Dayal Upadhyaya College organised a 2 hour seminar on Data Structures & Algorithms and Competitive Programming. The main motive of this event was to introduce the college students to the concept of Competitive Programming as a sport and an exercise to improve logic building and problem solving skills. It was directed towards students of all streams who want to improve their programming and problem solving skills, and not just students of Computer Science.
Later, many resources and platforms, such as CodeChef, Hackerrank, LeetCode, etc., were discussed and demonstrated to students which they can use to improve their skills. The event concluded with a QnA session with the attendees.
Feedback from the students
I am always on the lookout for such sessions and this was a good one. I got to how can I improve DSA and what role can CP play in it. I also liked the concept of follow up mail that was sent after the event containing a summary and all the resources that were discussed in the event. It was nice.
- Shreshtha Kumar Gupta
Got to know about many platforms that I did not know about before and also how to best use them as a beginner in Competitive Programming. The session got a bit lethargic in the end, but I will definitely try out the websites.

The inaugural lecture was held on 20th August 2018. Dr. Somitra Kumar Sanadhya, Associate Professor, Department of Computer Science and Engineering, IIT Ropar, Punjab delivered a lecture on "Purchasing Software with Privacy". In his introductory talk, he explained the recent trends in the field of cryptography. The mathematical foundations needed for the implementation of various ciphers are also introduced during this session. The session was very informative and explained in simple words which made it helpful for students to explore more in this research area. It was attended by 100 students and 8 faculty members
A power seminar on “Nurturing Young Graduates for Industry Readiness” was held on 31st August 2018. The event was organized in collaboration with ICT Academy. Following four speakers from Corporate/Industry were invited to speak on the said topic.
