  • The team can be from the same discipline or may be inter-disciplinary.

  • The infrastructure/ software(s) required for compiling code shall be borne by the team or the institution they represent. 
  • Plagiarism is strictly prohibited. Online search engines / books may be used as reference, but copy pasting directly from the internet is highly discouraged.

  6. Both team leader and team member can submit through individual accounts. Sum of their individual correct submissions will be used to calculate the team score. It is highly advisable that the code be submitted through account of the member whose contribution is the highest for that problem.

    1. Need a little clarification here. If we are supposed to work as a team, then why do accept two submissions? Can;t we turn in same solutions?

  8. Login/launch your campuscommune account then navigate to notifications.
    Under private messages, you should have "LOGIN DETAILS FOR CODEVITA".
    You will find your secret code there!
