🎯 DSA vs Dev: Finding Your Path in Tech

Choosing between DSA / Competitive Programming and Development / Hackathons is one of the most common questions every tech student faces. This session is designed to help you understand both paths clearly—and decide what fits you best.

In this event, we introduce two flagship initiatives:

🚀 What The Hack! (Hackathon – Development Focus)

What The Hack! is a hackathon where participants work in teams to solve real-world problems using technology. It focuses on idea-building, development, collaboration, and impact. If you enjoy building products, working on projects, and applying technology to real-life challenges, this path is for you.

You’ll learn about:

How hackathons work

Skills required for development-focused roles

How to grow through projects, teamwork, and innovation

🧠 Algothon (DSA & Competitive Programming)

Algothon is a DSA and competitive programming event focused on problem-solving, algorithms, and logical thinking. It is ideal for those who enjoy solving structured problems under time constraints and want to strengthen their fundamentals in data structures and algorithms.

You’ll learn about:

Competitive programming workflows

How DSA helps in interviews and core CS roles

Improving speed, accuracy, and logical depth

💡 Why Attend This Event?

Understand the difference between DSA and Development

Learn where hackathons and CP fit in your career

Decide which path (or combination) suits your goals

Clear common myths around “DSA vs Dev”

This session is perfect for beginners who are confused, as well as experienced students looking to make more informed decisions.

Whether you choose to build, solve, or do both, this event will help you take the next step with clarity.
