The Code Marathon was successfully conducted at Malla Reddy Technical Campus
(MRTC), A constituent unit of Malla Reddy Vishwavidyapeeth (Deemed to be
University), in collaboration with Talentio on February 13, 2026. Building on the
institution & tradition of fostering innovation—following the success of previous initiatives
like the NIAT × Base44 Hackathon—this event was designed as a high-intensity
to test students technical agility, logic and rapid problem-solving capabilities.
Objectives
The primary goals of the Code Marathon were:
. To promote competitive programming and technical excellence among students.
. To provide a platform for students to apply theoretical knowledge to real-time
coding challenges.
. To identify top-tier talent within the campus for further advanced training and
placement opportunities.
Event Execution

participation. The atmosphere was one of focused innovation, as students worked
through complex algorithms and coding tasks.
Key Highlights:
. Format: A 60-minute intensive challenge.
. Participation: Students from various engineering streams participated in a
synchronized coding environment.
. Technology Focus: The marathon emphasized logical efficiency and clean
code within a time-constrained window.

Impact Outcomes
The Code Marathon provided students with hands-on exposure to competitive
environments, enhancing their:
. Problem-Solving Skills: Students tackled real-world logic puzzles under
pressure.
. Speed and Accuracy: The "Marathon" format encouraged efficient coding
practices.
. Motivation: To recognize excellence, Certificates of Achievement were
awarded to the Top 10 performers, encouraging a culture of healthy competition.
Conclusion
The event concluded as a resounding success, aligning with the university experiential
learning objectives. By partnering with industry-aligned organizations like Talentio,
MRTC continues to bridge the gap between academic learning and industry-level
technical proficiency.
