PB Hustle
Since its inception in 2019, Point Blank has produced two Candidate Masters, one 6-star coder, and more than ten Experts. Within one year, participation in coding contests grew from just 3 to over 70. In 2020, we qualified the first-ever team from our college to ICPC Regionals and have sent at least one team every year since. Our members have earned multiple top-250 finishes in Google KickStart and reached Round 3 in Meta HackerCup. Additionally, to strengthen coding culture within our college, we organize PB Hustle, an open-to-all competitive programming contest held weekly, completing over 100 editions to date.

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.
