Date: TBA

Participants are encouraged to join the WhatsApp Group to stay updated with announcements and important information.

Teams must consist of exactly 3 members, and inter-college participation is welcome.

Based on the preliminary results, the top 15–20 teams will advance to the on-site finals at Jadavpur University, Salt Lake Campus. The final round will follow a relay format where teammates work one after another, continuing from the previous member’s code without any direct communication during the contest.

A total prize pool of INR 10,000 awaits the top-performing teams.

The problem set has been curated and tested by ihgazi, criticalcoding, naughty_santa, tommyangelokapische, and syamantak05.

We’re excited to bring this unique format to the community and can’t wait to see you compete!

Best regards, Team Pass The Baton CodeClub JUSL
