IEEEXtreme, a 24-Hours International Programming Competition in which was held on October 24, 2015 – hosted by Institute of Information Technology, Jahangirnagar University. This is a global challenge in which teams of IEEE Student members – advised and proctored by an IEEE member and often supported by an IEEE Student Branch, compete in a 24-hour time span against each other to solve a set of programming problems. This year IEEE Student Branch- Jahangirnagar University (IEEEJUSB) organized this event centrally for the IEEE Bangladesh Section.

More than 2400 teams of programmers from all around the globe – including 12 teams from 4 universities of Bangladesh participated in IEEEXtreme v9.0 this year. In Bangladesh, Rajshahi University of Engineering & Technology (RUET), University of Dhaka (DU), Jahangirnagar University (JU) and United International University (UIU) participated in this event.

Beside the programming competition, IEEEJUSB organized a few supporting events such as Rally, Technical Talk, Quiz Contest, IEEEXtreme Slideshow and a prize giving ceremony for the winners of the quiz contest. Mr. M. Manjur Mahmud – Director & COO of Datasoft Systems Bangladesh Ltd. talked about skill development issues in problem solving as the invited speaker.

Shamim Kaiser – Chair of IEEE Bangladesh Section Student Activity, Mr. Zamshed Iqbal Chowdhury- Branch Counselor, IEEEJUSB, Sayed Mohsin Reza- Branch Chair, IEEEJUSB and Md. Mahfujur Rahman- Branch General Secretary, IEEEJUSB were present during these events. After 24 hours of rigorous programming problem solving challenges, JUIITCoders – the only team from Jahangirnagar University secured 7^th place in the world ranking published by IEEEXtreme v9.0. The team comprised of Mr. Nafis Sadique, Mr. Niloy Dutta and Mr. Ahemdur Rahman Shovon – students of Institute of Information Technology, Jahangirnagar University.
