BUG BLAST CLUB – CODE FEST
The Department of Computer Science and Applications, Bug Blast Club, organized a highly anticipated Code Fest event focused on debugging. The event aimed to enhance the coding and debugging skills of undergraduate students.
Date: 31/7/2024 (Wednesday)
Time: 12.00 to 1.00 pm
Venue: Block V, Third Floor Lab
Participants: I and II BSc (CS) Students
Organizing Head: Dr. J. Dhilipan Professor & Head / CSA VP – Admin (S&H) SRMIST, Ramapuram
Program Coordinators: Dr. J. Jebamalar Tamilselvi, Associate Professor/CS, Dr. K. Sutha, Assistant Professor/CS

Summary of the event
The objective of Bug Blast Club’s Code Fest event is
- To improve participants’ coding skills, particularly in debugging
- To foster a spirit of competition and collaboration among students
- To provide practical, hands-on experience in identifying and fixing code errors
The Code Fest was structured into two primary levels, each designed to test and enhance different aspects of debugging skills.
- Level 1: Basic Debugging
- Level 2: Advanced Debugging
Level 1 involves simple debugging tasks that involve identifying and fixing common syntax errors, logical errors, and runtime errors in given code snippets. Level 2 involves complex debugging tasks that require a deep understanding of algorithms, data structures, and code optimization. The objective is to enhance the student’s problem-solving and critical-thinking skills. Successfully finding and fixing bugs can build students’ confidence in their coding abilities and problem-solving skills. After completing level 1, 16 students were selected for level 2 among 46. At the end of the event, winners were announced and the participants were appreciated.
Participants significantly improved their debugging skills, gaining valuable insights into effective problem-solving techniques. The event helped build participants’ confidence in handling coding challenges and fostered a competitive spirit. The event has set a strong foundation for future initiatives aimed at developing technical competencies among students.
Total number of participants: 46
Winners of the Event:
First Prize – J. Dharshan (I B.Sc. CS – C)
Second Prize – S. Yasmin (II B. Sc. CS – A)
Third Prize – K. Priyadharshini (I BCA Data Science – A), R. Sudharshan (I B. Sc. Cyber A)
