Pre-Hack will be divided into two sections. The first half will be
conducted online via HackerRank.The problems are based on Data
Structures and Algorithms, and Real-Life Scenarios. The contestants are
given 3 hours to submit their solutions.
The second half will consist of a system design-based problem. You will
be given a set of use cases and asked to design an architectural report
consisting of
- A High-Level Architecture Diagram
- Key areas addressed
- Architectural decisions made
- Assumptions
The report should be submitted as a pdf document, which can contain a
maximum of 2 - 3 pages. The system design-based question will be
provided at beginning of the pre-hack. The answers for the system design
should be submitted via a form that will be provided to you.
Participants have to solve a predefined set of problems for a duration
of 3 hours. The top 15 teams from the Pre-Hack will be selected for
Final Hackathon. The winning teams will be announced within a week.
According to the performance at the pre-hack, the top 15 teams will be
selected as finalists and
will be invited to the RealHack Final Hackathon. It consists of a
24-hour coding event. The event
will start with an opening ceremony, followed by the organizers and
sponsors addressing the
finalists.
The finalists will be given the problem statement and guidelines that
they should follow, and
they should solve the problem within the given period and provide a code
of solution. Then the
solution will be assessed to ensure adherence to guidelines and accuracy
and will receive marks
for every team. The final evaluation will be done by a board of judges
invited from the software
engineering industry and lecturers at the University of Kelaniya
The registration link will be provided on our website as well as through our social media handle.
The marks are generated according to the judicial board, and the marking criteria would include
- Predefined marking methodology for the question
- Bonus marks would be added if the problems are solved creatively and if other teams would have failed and only one survived to achieve.
- Marks are reviewed by the judging panel and the decision of selecting the top 15 teams would be in the sole hand of the judging panel.
The final marks of the Pre-Hack will be allocated according to the following percentages.
- HackerRank - 60%
- System design - 40%
