3.2 Manual Verification of Code of Probable Winners

Manual verification of code of all probable winners is performed to check for the following:
1. Mention of Algorithm
2. Readability of the code
3. Comments
4. Optimized or not (better algorithm, lesser number of lines & iterations etc.)

3.3 Interviewing Probable winners

After all the manual verification of code, Probable Winners are shortlisted and called for a one-on-
one interview for the final selections.
During the interview the candidates are quizzed about
1. The working of the code
2. Approach followed
3. Implementation of algorithm (if any) for that particular problem and etc.

3.4 Final selection of Winners

 Top performers in the interview will be selected as winners. All winners are informed by
SMS to collect their prizes from Accounts Department of the respective colleges.
 Every week a maximum of two (2) winners each from 2nd and 3rd years are selected as
winners.
In case of a tie we consider three (3) cases to finalize the winner:

3.4.1 Tie Case-1:

Between both, the one who did not win more or no Arjuna Prizes and has written good code,
performed well in the interview, will be given more weightage over the one who had won more
Arjuna Prizes.

This is to encourage others to participate more in coding competitions. Any prize won will instill
confidence in them.
