I participated in the Infosys Hackathon, which was an open online challenge and not part of a campus placement drive. The experience was intense and highly competitive. The hackathon consisted of 3 coding questions, all focused on Data Structures and Algorithms (DSA). The problems required strong logic-building skills and covered topics like: Arrays and Hashing Recursion and Dynamic Programming Backtracking and Sliding Window techniques The platform had strict time limits, and passing all test cases was challenging. I was able to partially solve the problems but found the difficulty level to be high overall. Though I didn’t proceed to the final round, it was a valuable learning experience and helped me identify my strengths and areas for improvement in competitive programming.
