 Microsoft CodeFunDo

Code fun do is a hackathon organised by Microsoft every year during the winter. The winners of this hackathon have an opportunity to go to Microsoft's Hyderabad office for the national Round and present their hacks. This year the hackathon was held in two phases. The last week of December was when a qualifier round for Sophomores and Freshmen was held. The winners then competed with Thirdies and Fourthies in the on campus round held on the 2nd and 3rd of January.

The Second Place was bagged by a team consisting completely of students associated to the club, namely Sarthak Khandelwal, Darshan Tank and Sajal Narang. You can check out there NLP based project here. Rohit Kumar Jena was also a part of the team that stood Third.
