5. Any unauthorized behavior, such as looking at other teams’ solutions or using disallowed external resources like AI, will result in automatic disqualification.
6. Judges' decisions are final and binding.
7. The compiler provided will be GCC, with Visual Studio as the IDE.

1. A team can consist of up to 2 participants.
2. Both members must be from the same college.

The event consists of three rounds:

1. Round 1 – Elimination Round: Basic programming questions to filter participants.
2. Round 2 – Logic Code Round: A debugging and logical problem-solving challenge.
3. Round 3 – Problem Solving Round: Participants must write optimized and complexity-efficient solutions for given problems.

1. Number of correct answers.
2. Total time taken to solve problems in ascending order.

Certificates for all participants. Prizes for winners and runners-up.
