Debugging - Code Kurukshetra
Sreenidhi Institute of Science and Technology
📌 About the Event
Debugging – Code Kurukshetra is an intense, high-speed code-repair challenge hosted under TECHNIDHI ’26, the Annual Student-Led Tech Fest of Sreenidhi Institute of Science and Technology (SNIST).
Jointly organized by the ECA and TVC clubs, this track targets developers who excel at troubleshooting over pure code drafting. Instead of writing algorithms from scratch, participants are given pre-written blocks of code compromised by syntax errors, runtime exceptions, and hidden logical traps. Your mission is to isolate the structural failures, refactor the code to pass target test cases, and climb to the top of the live leaderboard before time runs out.
