About

Welcome to AlgoRaid

The DSA Heist, a brain-racing coding battle hosted as part of Hackfest.

In this high-stakes challenge, participants will dive into a curated set of DSA problems on HackerEarth — designed to test speed, logic, and algorithmic precision. From greedy approaches to graph theory, this is where the real coders rise.

You can participate anytime during the 3 days of Hackfest and attempt the challenge solo. The leaderboard updates live — only the sharpest raiders will survive the heist.

Scoring

Each challenge has a pre-determined score.
A participant’s score depends on the number of test cases a participant’s code submission successfully passes.
If a participant submits more than one solution per challenge, then the participant’s score will reflect the highest score achieved. In a game challenge, the participant's score will reflect the last code submission.
Participants are ranked by score. If two or more participants achieve the same score, then the tie is broken by the total time taken to submit the last solution resulting in a higher score
