Tutoring Session – Algorithm & Problem Solving

(Algorithmic Thinking, Coding, Problem Solving)

OBJECTIVE

The five-day session, conducted from 10th to 14th March 2025 via Google Meet, aimed to help 2nd and 3rd-year students from IT, CSE, CSE-IoT, AIDS, Mechanical, and CSBS departments build a strong foundation in algorithmic problem-solving. It focused on key algorithmic paradigms, code optimization, and tackling complex computational problems. Limited participants ensured personalized interaction, in-depth discussions, and hands-on problem-solving for competitive programming, technical interviews, and real-world software development.
