Delhi's Computer Grandslams:Access, Silico Battles, Exun , Code
The school level computer fest scene in the NCR, India is bubbling with energy and excitement , especially with the entry of several new hosts and events in the last decade. I have been a prolific fest-goer in my times and take it upon myself to give the newbies on the scene a taste of what the competition and life at these fests is like. First we begin by naming the four grandslam computer fest : Access of Modern School (New Delhi), Exun at Delhi Public School, R K Puram , Code at Apeejay School, Noida and Silico Batlles at Ahlcon Public School

ACCESS
[] This event organised by the computer club at Modern Bits 'N' Bytes is surely the Big Daddy of all computer fests in the NCR boasting a participation of over 1000 students from more than 50 schools every year. The events are well organised largely due the tremendous amount invested in infrastructure by the school. The different format of the Group Discussion is surely a highlight of the fest. The distinguished alumni of the school add to the zing of the fest. With Delhi's best schools participating in the fest, the competition is as tough as it gets. The point however where the Access charm fades is when it comes to their student volunteers, an unhelpful (sometimes ignorant)attitude of the Modernites can be exasperating and testing for the participants. Also, the lack of silverware in other computer fests casts doubts on the very credibility of Access.

EXUN
The Exun clan of DPS RKP surely leaves no stone unturned in their bid to make their computer fest one of the most talked about events through out the year. A sprawling campus also helps them in this quest. Another extremely well organised event, where this event scores over its contemporaries is the brilliant performance of their students in different computer fests through out the year, lending the fest its air of credibility. Similar to Access, the alumni at DPS RKP also play a pivotal role in the overall organisation of the event.The style quotient of the event gets a 10 on 10 with elements like the traditional Mac at the reception adding zest to the fest. However, the one thing that can put the participants off is the almost rude behavior of the volunteers on duty and the organizing committee. Lack of coordination between the volunteers and their 'attitude' can be frustrating.

CODE
Another huge fest in terms of number of participating students, another fest blessed with great campus infrastructure. The Code club at Apeejay Noida was once synonymous with all the highs that the students of Delhi were achieving in the field of computers. About 5 years ago was certainly the most prestigious computer fests in the NCR. However the graduation of their best minds seems to have hit the club hard. They are putting up a dismal show with standards falling more steeply every consecutive year. If drastic steps are not taken this event might make way for Code Wars at DPS VK.

SILICO BATTLES
Might be a surprise entry for some but those who have been to this event in the last two years will swear by it. Unlike the other fests, the school has a comparatively less developed infrastructure , the school name is also not prominently visible in other computer fests apart from decent representation in GDs and Programming events. The places where this fest scores far above the others in the category is the zeal and zest of the organizing committee and volunteer students. No query goes unanswered, the auditorium always is lit up with one activity or other and the stage is never bare. It is another very well organised 1000+ event. Its safe to say that Ahlcon Public School is today recognized by this event. Kudos to their computer club "Souvenier Club".
