The TECH ‘NOVA’ Club, the Department of Computer Science Engineering of MBU, hosted an exciting event titled “Inverse Logic” on August 20, 2025, from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM in Room No. 353, Computer Block. The event brought together curious minds for a unique reverse coding contest that challenged conventional problem-solving approaches. The aim of Inverse Logic was to sharpen students’ logical thinking and programming skills by flipping the usual coding format. Instead of being given inputs, participants were shown outputs and asked to figure out the logic and write the code that could produce those results. This twist encouraged more profound analysis and creative thinking.
The event was coordinated by Mr. VIMALRAJ. E, Assistant Professor in the CSE Department, who ensured smooth planning and execution. Thirty enthusiastic students took part, showing great energy and focus throughout the contest. Their performance across all rounds reflected strong engagement and a willingness to tackle complex challenges.
The contest was held in three rounds: Round 1 – Qualifier, featuring pattern-based outputs (numbers, strings, symbols); Round 2 – Intermediate, focused on logical and mathematical outputs (such as finding nth terms and problem-based results); and Round 3 – Advanced, involving complex outputs like encryption, sorting, and simulations.—each increasing in difficulty. Students worked on pattern-based outputs, mathematical logic, and even encryption and simulations. They were free to use C, C++, Java, or Python, and their solutions were judged on correctness, efficiency, and clarity.
Participants walked away with valuable takeaways. They improved their coding skills, learned to think in reverse, and developed faster debugging techniques. The contest also helped them prepare for real-world coding interviews and hackathons, boosting their confidence and employability.
The organizers expressed heartfelt thanks to all participants for their energetic involvement. The positive feedback from students and faculty highlighted the event’s success and ignited interest in more such innovative contests in the future.
