Round 01: Quiz Round

Guidelines:

• The round will be conducted online via Slido.
• Each team will face a total of 15 fact and concept-based programming-related multiple choice questions.
• The round will be conducted within a set duration of 10 minutes.
• Teams will be evaluated based on the number of correct answers and time.
• Correct and quick responses will be given more preference.

Round 02: Coding with Bhailang

Guidelines:

• This round will have a duration of 1 hour.
• Each team will solve 5 coding questions based on simple conditional statements and loops.
• The solutions must be implemented using Bhailang.
