Around 21 students from 7 schools participated in the School level software programming competition organized by Computer Society of India (CSI) – Udaipur Chapter. The competition was held at Techno NJR Research Centre, located at Madhuban.

In search of the young talent in computer programming, first level regional competition started at 10PM and ended at 12PM. The participants from different Udaipur based schools had jolted their brains to solve four different problems given to them.

Students were free to select any programming languages C, C++ or JAVA to solve the queries given.

7 schools, namely Kendriya Vidyalaya No.1, Maharana Mewar Public School, Alok Sr Sec School, St. Anthony’s Sr Sec School, St Gregorios Sr Sec School, Central Academy School (OTC) and Delhi Public School had participated in the prestigious competition. From each school, three students were selected to participate.

Dr. Dharam Singh president of CSI Udaipur chapter directed the students about terms and rules of the competition. While talking to UT he said ‘Out of so many schools in Udaipur, we have only 7 schools registered in the competition which is bit disappointing, when asked about the reason, he said lack of awareness among both, students and their institutions. We hope to get double response in next year because things are changing in a fast pace.’

Himija Singhvi (Class 11^th) from DPS said ‘the competition was tough but we’ll say it was a good fight all over, though we solved all the problems but still not sure about one query’.

Yash Gupta from St. Gregorios said ‘it was tough competition, although we solved 2 problems and other 2 were solved more than half, let’s see now’
