PB Hustle

Point Blank has organized over 40+ editions of its PB Hustle coding contest, where participants solve 5-7 increasingly difficult problems in their preferred programming language. The contest aims to enhance the programming culture in colleges and help teams qualify for the ACM ICPC. Impressively, DSCE's leading programmers have risen through this platform, with participation in the CodeChef Long Challenge expanding from just 3 to over 70+ participants.

PB Chronicles

Point Blank has hosted over 100+ workshops, covering a wide range of topics including open source, DevOps, machine learning, placement preparation, data structures and algorithms, and mobile and web development, among others. These workshops are typically conducted in an informal and unscripted manner, though we do document some of our most significant sessions. One notable example is our primer on F/OSS development.
