Terminator 1.0

Have you ever wondered how codes work behind the scenes from the machine level? If your answer is YES, then register for this event ! You will surely enjoy and learn.

Terminator 1.0 is an assembly language coding competition. Higher level languages are very prominent in popular coding competitions but unlike them, this event explores the limitless possibilities in assembly language coding and brings the participants closer to what happens behind the scenes! The advantage of assembly language is that the participants do not have to remember any syntax as there are limited commands and statements. All that matters is their logic and reasoning power.

Code JAM

A technical festival without a coding competition sounds incomplete. Doesn't it!
So here is a chance for everyone to brush up their minds for a challenging programming contest with the freedom of coding in whatever language they want.
