Course Name: Getting Started with Competitive Programming

Course abstract

This is a course on algorithm design with a focus on issues of modeling and implementation. Each lecture will be focused entirely on one or two problems that reveal the use of a specific algorithmic technique. The techniques themselves are chosen to be in line with those covered in existing NPTEL courses on data structures and algorithms, so that students who complete those courses can find in this course a natural follow up. This course is intended for anyone who wants to deepen their appreciation for algorithmic techniques that they have learned in a foundational course and/or would like to take a first step towards preparing for coding competitions such as the ICPC.

Final Score Calculation Logic

  • Assignment Score = 12.5% weightage: Weekly quizzes (best 8 of 12) and 12.5% weightage: Programming assignments (best 10 of 15)
  • Final Score(Score on Certificate)= 75% of Exam Score + 25% of Assignment Score
    Note: A1-A12 - Weekly quizzes A13-A27 - Programming assignments
