Instructions for the Contest:

• The contest comprises four parts:

◦ 3 DSA coding problems – 100 marks

◦ 5 MCQs on Programming Logic – 25 marks

◦ 5 MCQs on Logical Reasoning – 25 marks

◦ 5 MCQs on Quantitative Aptitude – 25 marks

• Only individual participation is permitted in Job-A-Thon.

• Companies will shortlist candidates based on their individual criteria.

• Languages supported for the DSA problems include C++, Java, and Python.

• Each submission undergoes testing using our critical test data.

• There is a 5% penalty for each incorrect submission. For instance, if a problem is worth 100 marks and a participant makes an incorrect submission, their marks are reduced to 95. After the next incorrect submission of the same problem, their marks are further reduced to 90.25, and so forth. Therefore, it is recommended to use ‘Compile & Test’ against sample test cases before each submission.

• Entries submitted after the contest closes will not be considered.

• Please refrain from discussing strategy during the contest, as all submissions are scrutinized through a plagiarism detector. Any instances of code plagiarism will result in the score of the implicated participant being reduced to 0.

• The leaderboard will be made public after the plagiarism check.

• It is advisable to attempt previous contests in the Job-a-Thon series to familiarize yourself with the GeeksforGeeks coding environment. Report an Issue: If you encounter any problems on this page, please inform us.
