24 Hours of Non-Stop Thrill! Insomnia 2015!

Programming and Algorithms Group, and SDSLabs of IIT Roorkee are jointly organizing their flagship programming competition, Insomnia.

Since its inception in 2009, Insomnia has been witnessing an increasingly huge international participation. Noticing participation from some of the leading names of competitive programming, PAG and SDSLabs have amped up the level of the competition from a 12 hour to a 24 hour contest.

It is a team contest with a maximum team size of 3. The contest will be held on our own personal grader Code Village.
