Fractal
The club aims at blowing the soldering minds of the students at IET. The newbies are mentored in such a way that their brains navigate the road in a more assembled way. The club started in 2014 by Nishant Bansal, the then second-year student with a purpose to start a coding culture in our college and to create a never-ending linkage of students. Never Ending? Yes, that is what FRACTAL means. He, along with his comrades, created an environment for the coding skills to enhance through his lucid idea of propagating technical knowledge in computer applications. Later on Shivang Bansal, Sanchit Rastogi, Vishal Latiyan joined hands with him in 2015 and continued the tradition. The awareness in college grew and in 2016, more than 100 students started showing their interest in coding. At present scenario, the Fractal club is one of the most retained clubs of the college and students having interest in coding get their regular practice here.
Working
At present, there are 200+ students in the Fractal club who program under the mentors of the second year. C is the taught programming language for the total beginners in the field of programming whereas students already having basic insights in other programming languages such as Java, C++, Python are taught in their respective coding languages and are triggered to boost up their proficiency in coding. The students are prepared to enhance and assemble their coding skills and participate in online competitive coding contests such as SPOJ, Codechef, Hackerearth, etc.
Achievements
In 2015, IET ranked 630 on SPOJ and was almost vanished on Code Chef. But by the end of 2016, the college achieved rank under 200 on SPOJ. Talking about the present, the total number of submitted solutions on SPOJ was more than 1000 and the rank enhanced to 24th spot and even, the regular participation was also visible on Code Chef contests.
Also, two teams of IET qualified for zonal for Asia ACM-ICPC (Association for Computing Machinery - International Collegiate Programming Contest), the oldest, largest, multi-tier, team-based and most prestigious programming contest in the world.
