The contest comprises four parts:
- 3 DSA coding problems – 100 marks
- 5 multiple-choice questions (MCQ) on Programming Logic – 25 marks
- 5 MCQ on Logical Reasoning – 25 marks
- 5 MCQ on Quantitative Aptitude – 25 marks
Participation is strictly limited to individuals in Job-A-Thon.
Various companies will conduct interview shortlisting based on their specific criteria.
The supported languages for the DSA problems include C++, Java, Python, and JavaScript.
All submissions will undergo evaluation using critical test data.
A 5% penalty applies for each incorrect submission. For instance, in a 100-mark problem, an incorrect submission reduces the score to 95. Subsequent wrong submissions further deduct marks to 90.25 and so on. Hence, it’s recommended to use ‘Compile & Test’ with sample test cases before submitting.
Entries submitted post the contest closure will not be entertained.
During the contest, refrain from discussing strategies. All submissions will be scrutinized using a plagiarism detector. Any instance of code plagiarism will result in a score of 0 for the concerned participant.
The contest leaderboard will be made public AFTER plagiarism verification.
It’s advisable to attempt previous contests in the Job-a-thon series to familiarize yourself with the GeeksforGeeks coding environment.
