DATA WHIZ


Get ready to dive into the world of data, dashboards, and discovery! DataWhiz brings together curiosity, creativity, and analytical thinking to uncover the stories hidden within data. The event is designed to engage participants of all skill levels through two exciting rounds: a data exploration quiz that tests how well you can understand and interpret a dataset, followed by a storytelling challenge where you turn data into meaningful visualizations and present the story behind your findings. Come ready to explore, think, visualize, and show us what the data has to say!

Event Round Details

Description

You'll be given a dataset and a set of questions to crack — no Google, no AI, just you and your team! Dig through the data, spot the patterns, and answer as many questions as you can before the clock runs out. Stuck on a tricky question? You'll have fun mini-challenges along the way where you can earn clues to help you out. Choose your moves wisely, because every clue comes with a little catch! Stay sharp, work together, and don't let the data fool you!

Rules
  • Only the provided dataset must be used to answer the questions.
  • Internet access and external sources are not permitted during the round.
  • Use of AI tools or other automated answer-generation tools is strictly prohibited.
Description

You'll be given a dataset and now it's your turn to make the data talk! Explore the dataset, find interesting patterns or insights, and bring them to life with meaningful visualizations. Use your visuals as evidence to build a story and present it to the judges. Make it clear, make it creative, and most importantly, make us believe that your data has a story worth telling!

Rules
  • Only the provided dataset must be used to craft the story.
  • The story must be supported by visuals from the given dataset.
  • Internet access and external sources are not permitted during the round.
  • Use of AI tools or other automated answer-generation tools is strictly prohibited.

Codolympics

About the event

Codolympics is a two-round flagship competitive programming event of the CSE Department. In the first round, participants take on logical puzzles to solve and solution hacking, where the goal is to break a given solution by finding the input it fails on. The second round is an auction-driven problem-solving contest: contestants bid for the problems they want using a limited pool of coins, earn points by solving what they buy, and spend their remaining balance on hints, shields and sabotages against rivals. Participants will be tested on skills such as data structures and algorithms, problem-solving speed, edge-case analysis and strategic decision-making under limited resources.
