Superteacher Team in collaboration Wissenaire, IIT Bhubaneswar is organising the National Coding Olympiad Junior. Through this olympiad, we aim to find out the gems among the coders and to encourage their coding skills.
The first level will be completely based on logical skills and reasoning. Those who perform well at this level will all be awarded merit certificates and scholarships. Further, the top performers will be given a week-long training by world-class coders, after which they’ll appear for the level 2 test. The top performers at this level will be awarded a merit scholarship, a chance to interact with the highly respected professors of IITs.
NCO Junior will be conducted in three categories:
Preparatory (Grade: 3 - 5)
Middle-school (Grade: 6 - 8)
Secondary (Grade: 9 - 12)
For each category, NCO Junior will be conducted in two levels:
Level 1 - Coding Attitude Test (MCQ based Online Test)
Level 2 - Coding Aptitude Test (Online Live Coding Competition)
Level 1 - Coding Attitude Test:
Level 1 tests the ‘Coding Attitude’ of the participants.
This level requires NO PRIOR CODING knowledge.
This level is compulsory for all registered participants.
It is a 30-minute online test consisting of 40 MCQs.
Participants scoring 60% or more will be considered to have passed level 1, and will be awarded merit certificates and scholarships.
The top 100 among them will attend a 7-day training session, and will then appear for Level 2.
Level 2 - Coding Aptitude Test:
Level 2 tests the ‘Coding Aptitude’ of the participants.
Examinees will be provided with a topic, and they need to think up an idea and make a creative, yet a simple program using ONLY Scratch 3.0.
