About

The Department of Computer Science in the College of Business and Technology is thrilled to have you join our NEIU Eagle HackFest 2025!

Students get the chance to compete in one of 4 tracks: Artificial Intelligence (AI), Cybersecurity (CY), Information Technology (IT) and General Computer Science (CS). Students will select a track and spend the day hacking through a problem designed by our faculty.

Prizes

Gift cards will be awarded to the top team in each track.

Rules

  • The creator of this contest is solely responsible for setting and communicating the eligibility requirements associated with prizes awarded to participants, as well as for procurement and distribution of all prizes. The contest creator holds HackerRank harmless from and against any and all claims, losses, damages, costs, awards, settlements, orders, or fines.
  • Code directly from our platform, which supports over 30 languages. Learn more here.
  • Students must participate in teams of 4. Teams may be predetermined, or will be randomly assigned at check-in.
  • Students may not use generative AI to assist in their hack solutions. These teams will be disqualified.

Scoring

  • Each challenge has a pre-determined score.
  • A participant’s score depends on the number of test cases a participant’s code submission successfully passes, combined with the fastest time to complete the hack.
  • If a participant submits more than one solution per challenge, then the participant’s score will reflect the highest score achieved. In a game challenge, the participant's score will reflect the last code submission.
  • Participants are ranked by score. If two or more participants achieve the same score, then the tie is broken by the total time taken to submit the last solution resulting in a higher score
