Hello everyone!
I am delighted to invite you all for ATMOS CodeJam Qualifiers held as a part of the technical fest, ATMOS , organized by our institute BITS-Pilani, Hyderabad Campus.
The contest will be of 2 hours and you will be given five questions of varying difficulty (Cakewalk to Hard). We have tried our best to include problems such that even novice coders can attempt some problems while even best coders feel stuck at some. It is advised to read the problem statements carefully and have some practice to brush up your skills

In addition, we have decided to give following benefits as well-
- Top 25 participants get selected to Final On-site Round during ATMOS.
- Top 15 participants will be eligible for free Accommodation and their Registration Fees will be waived.
However, to be eligible for prizes, you need to register at our ATMOS website here and fill this google doc.
Further, on-site presence is necessary to claim the cash prizes for both online and on-site rounds.The on-site round will be held on 28th October and has a prize money of 20k.
