Competitive programming has seen a tremendous growth in the NIT Jamshedpur campus over the years. Low academic pressure and quality students are the main reason behind this development.

The students of NIT Jamshedpur perform well in Codechef’s long challenges. A lot of students participate in them, and do well. Few reach the top 100 as well. The college has also seen an improvement in its performance in ACM ICPC. 

The CSE department is improving with the passage of time. Senior-junior interaction within the department is quite healthy. The college holds the annual tech fest by the name of Cognitio. PCON is the programming club of NIT Jamshedpur.Despite all of this, a lot of work remains to be done in Open Source Contribution, Hackathons, etc. 

Overall, the coding culture at NIT Jamshedpur is good, and continuously improving.
