Code Clash

About the EventCodeClash is back — bigger, and now open to coders across the country. Born out of Cosmos’s mission to build a genuine coding culture, CodeClash brings together two very different coding challenges under one roof, designed so that both beginners and seasoned competitive programmers have a stage built for them.Whether you’re just getting comfortable with code or you live for algorithmic showdowns, CodeClash has an arena for you.Event 1: Blind CodingEligibility: 1st Year & 2nd Year studentsThe one where you code without looking. Screens are covered — literally — and teams write code relying purely on logic and memory, with zero visual feedback. It’s tense, it’s hilarious, and it tests your fundamentals like nothing else. The team with the fewest errors at the end qualifies for the next round.Best suited for students building their coding foundations and looking for a fun, high-pressure introduction to competitive coding.Event 2: DSA BattleEligibility: 2nd-year to final-year studentsA head-to-head problem-solving battle for coders who already have a grip on Data Structures & Algorithms. Live rounds, real-time problem sets, and a race against both the clock and your opponents. This is where accuracy and speed decide who walks away as champion.Best suited for students confident in DSA and looking to test themselves against the best.Why ParticipateTwo formats, one event — compete at the level that matches youCertificates for all participants, trophies & prizes for winnersA chance to be part of Cosmos’s growing national coding cultureNetwork with coders and CS students from campuses across IndiaFormatTeam-based competition (2-4)Round 1: Basic assessment includes a quiz, and then there will be two rounds of codingRound 2: Finals — top teams battle it out live
