Opportunity brief
Welcome to the Code Club DSA and Programming Assessment by MKSSS's Cummins College of Engineering for Women (CCOEW), Pune!
This assessment is the second round of the Code Club's technical team recruitment process, designed to evaluate candidates' problem-solving ability, data structures & algorithms knowledge, and core programming/domain fundamentals.
Format:
The assessment consists of 3 sections and 9 total questions:
- Section 1 – Coding Questions (2 questions): DSA and algorithmic problem-solving questions requiring a working code submission. Each question includes defined input/output formats, constraints, and both visible and hidden test cases.
- Section 2 – Domain MCQs (2 questions): Conceptual questions from Operating Systems, testing understanding beyond textbook definitions.
- Section 3 – Programming Language MCQs (5 questions): C++-based questions covering language fundamentals, STL behavior, memory/object semantics, and common gotchas.
Duration: 60 minutes
Eligibility: Open to all engineering students who have cleared Round 1 of the Code Club recruitment process.
Rules:
- This is an individual assessment — no team participation.
- Each coding question must be solved independently; plagiarism checks will be applied to code submissions.
- MCQs carry equal weightage unless otherwise specified; no negative marking unless stated.
- Use of AI code-generation tools during the coding section is not permitted.
- Candidates must complete the assessment in one sitting; no pausing/resuming once started.
Scoring:
- Coding Questions: 20 marks each (40 total)
- Domain MCQs: 5 marks each (10 total)
- Language MCQs: 10 marks each (50 total)
- Total: 100 marks
Selection: Candidates scoring above the cutoff (to be announced post-assessment) will proceed to the final interview round.
