ANDRO-INVENTO

Techzone’s first ever Android App Development competition, AndoInvento will test aspiring developers for their skills, knowledge as well as creativity in the field of application coding, testing and debugging. If you think you’ve got what it takes to be crowned the best Android app developer of this region, come out here and earn the honour you deserve. The competition will consist of 2 phases. Each phase is designed to push different aspects of development through their limits.

Maximum number of participants in each team:02

Entry fee:
For JNNCE participants – Rs.100/-
For NON-JNNCE participants – Rs.200/-

Phase 1: The Apptitude Test
You might’ve run through a number of different aptitude tests, but we will test your development knowledge extensively with a specially designed question paper that will cover each aspect from general coding knowledge to complicated debugging semantics.

Phase 2: Burning Silicon
Once you prove that you’re better than the other in terms of knowledge of coding, you’ll have to show that you can apply this knowledge in the real world. You’ll be given 36 hours to build an application for Android according to a given problem statement. But it’s not that simple.
• You can use any development platform (Eclipse, Android Studio, App Inventor etc).
• You cannot use platforms that require network access. All coding and debugging should be local.
• Use of patented or codes copied from the Internet is strictly prohibited. You can use existing codes as references but no plagiarism will be tolerated and could lead to disqualification.
• Teams can be made with a maximum of 2 people. But if you think you’re a tiger who operates alone, you’re still welcome.
• The apps will be judged based on their precision according to the statement, their functionality, design, user interface, bugs (if any) and overall user experience.
• The judges’ decision will be final.
