IEEE Xtreme 17.0, the esteemed global programming competition, unfolded on the 28th of October 2023 with 359 participants engaging in an exhilarating 24-hour coding marathon. In this global challenge, teams of 3 to 5 IEEE members, each advised and proctored by an IEEE member and supported by an IEEE Student Branch, compete against each other to solve a set of programming problems and gain local and global ranks, certificates, and prizes. Hosted by the IEEE Student Branch of Informatics Institute of Technology, this rigorous event took place within the premises of the IIT School of Computing. Notably, participants not only gathered physically but also connected online to partake in this extreme programming challenge. The Student Branch organized IEEEXtreme 17.0 as a focal point of the Odyssey event series, culminating in this thrilling competition.
