Greetings Kids! I hope your induction into the magnificently overwhelming campus of IIT Kanpur was smooth and enchanting ✨. You'd have been thrown with a lot of 'lingos', 'rules', 'culture' and shit tonne of information about a myriad of domains and structures. You'd be struggling with acclimatising yourself to the new found freedom and acads when the Media and Culture Council would announce the auditions for its landmark event, the 'Freshers Night' 👾 (by the time this manuscript is out, your auditions must have started, prolly the practise too) wherein you can claim that you will largely have a fun time. On to some new information. As soon as the inter-hall movement restrictions are overhauled, you shall be called for the infamous 'General Body Meet' 🥶, which you'd definitely enjoy to your fullest, and you shall simply be motivated to participate in this competition called 'Takneek'. Now, as much and as frequently I shit on the fucked up scheduling of events for freshers, I believe it brings about overarching skill development and is an attempt to teach time management (no, even after a year I'm here, procrastinating my way through important stuff and writing this) to freshers. Plus, I love tech and ecstatic nights, so why not? It's all about embracing the Beauty Behind Madness 🦝. Nevertheless, let's get to the point. The purpose of this piece is to provide resources which would enable Freshers to meaningfully participate in this event, explore various domains and hopefully provide a good starting point for their SnT Journey, which the supposed purpose of Takneek is. NOTE: This document by no means is a 'Roadmap to Domain XYZ' and shall not provide you with a pathway to delve into any domain. For those purposes, SnT Clubs and Societies have their own roadmaps (🦝 Promotion Alert: Check out the Domain Roadmaps by Programming Club✨). This document is just for the purpose of giving the freshers a mild overview of the domains so that they can use these newly acquired skills in Takneek and enjoy the hand on experience and adrenaline rush. 🦝 On the 'What?' This section is for those who don't have much clarity over what Takneek is, and what structure it follows; or those whose SGs were lazy enough to skip the important stuff and only teach them how to "KHOL". I'll try to be quick with the boring stuff. Takneek is an Inter-Hall event conducted by the SnT Council wherein all the clubs and societies under the council release Problem Statements and Halls are supposed to solve those statements under stipulated time. Certain points are assigned to each Problem and on the basis of who solves the problem first and how accurately it is solved, the hall is allotted certain points. You'd largely find 4 types of problems: a. Long Problem Statements: A decent number of days are provided to solve this.
