ACM NIT-Surat


ACM NIT – Surat is a student chapter highly focused on planning and organizing events for coding, development, design etc. Founded in 2005, the chapter has been a centre for various learning, fun, and productive activities. Be it coding challenges, hackathons, quizzes, or application development, the chapter has done its best. The activities of the chapter are widely acknowledged in the institute and keenly looked for. Massive turnout at every event shows the range of popularity the chapter has. The bar is being raised year after year. With the announcement of Epiphany, Geekend and other challenges as open-for-all contests, the chapter is aiming for nationwide recognition.

  1. ACM Summer Challenge: A long coding challenge to first learn and solidify the programming concepts and then compete among themselves to solve some mind-blowing problems in the contest.
  2. Inception: A half-yearly Competitive Coding contest, organized on Codeforces to display and enhance coding abilities of participants.
  3. Epiphany: A half-yearly Inter College Competitive Coding contest for all the coding enthusiasts out there. It is organized on Codeforces to test the programming skills and to push the limits of participants.
  4. Hour of Code: It is a global movement introducing tens of millions of students worldwide to computer science, inspiring kids to learn, breaking stereotypes, and leaving them feeling empowered. It aims to explain the importance of Computer Science in our daily lives and in various fields, to students of class 9 to class 12, through presentations conducted in virtual mode. Apart from this, we also encourage the students to gain more knowledge in the CS field.
  5. ACM Month of Code (AMOC): AMOC as the name suggests, is a month-long contest to learn and innovate. It brings the chance to build something cool on any topic from scratch and using any tools. The event runs for a month and during this time participants can learn, utilize their skills and develop their ideas into reality.
  6. GeekEnd: It is a weekend contest full of exciting events to challenge, test the skills and enhance the participant’s coding ability and technical knowledge.
  7. Workshops: ACM NIT Surat organizes various workshops throughout the year to boost the technical knowledge and ease up the journey to a great extent. We aim at introducing the participants about the basic concepts and solving their doubts regarding the topics. Workshops conducted last year are as follows:
