The Department of Computer Science & Engineering, IMS Engineering College, Ghaziabad, successfully organized Web Wizard 2.0 on 18th March 2026 under the banner of its student technical club, Runtime Hackers. Held in Lab 9, the event witnessed an enthusiastic turnout of 90+ students, making it one of the most well-attended technical events of the semester.

The competition was structured into two rounds, each designed to test a different dimension of web development skill. Round 1 consisted of a 40-question MCQ test covering core concepts including HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and responsive design. All participants competed simultaneously in a time-bound format, and with standings being razor-close throughout, only the top 35 students earned their place in the final round. Round 2 elevated the challenge entirely the qualifiers were tasked with building a fully functional website on the spot using AI-assisted development tools, pushing them to demonstrate not just technical knowledge but also creativity, speed, and adaptability under real-world constraints. The quality of submissions was remarkably high, making the judging process highly competitive. After thorough evaluation, Aakash Chauhan claimed the 1st place, Shanu Prajapati secured the 2nd place, and Vatsal Goyal earned the 3rd place, with all winners receiving trophies, certificates, and goodies. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Dr. Sonali Mathur (HOD, CSE) for her constant encouragement and visionary support for student-led initiatives, and to Ms. Vandna Tomar for her invaluable mentorship throughout the planning and execution of the event. A special thank you to HackerRank, our official partner, for generously sponsoring goodies, stickers, and certificates for the participants.
