IIT Kharagpur conducted a contest at Hackerearth named "CATCH ME IF YOU CAN" on Feb 7th. I participated and this is the first time in any online programming contest i came within the top 10 contestants. This was quite a different contest because you will be given certain amount to time to solve every problem and you to submit the solution within the given time. Else the problem will vanish from the problem set and you can't submit your solution. This kind of contest in quite interesting as you will learn HOW TO WORK UNDER PRESSURE and HOW TO MANAGE YOUR TIME. I was very happpy that i am able to come within top 10 in an online programming contest organized by one of the IIT's. I will work harder and harder and try to come within top 5 soooooooooon!!! Below is a snap snot of the scoreboard:
