One interview-curated LeetCode problem every day, with the solution shared the same day — a turnkey placement-readiness programme run inside your students' WhatsApp group.
Return indices of the two numbers in nums that add up to target.
Technical hiring opens with a coding round — and increasingly with a look at the candidate's coding profile. Consistency is now visible, measurable, and asked for.
Hiring teams now ask candidates to share coding profiles as proof of practice. A streak and a solved-count say more than "good at DSA" on paper.
Nearly every technical process opens with a DSA round drawn from the same pool of frequently asked problems — exactly what this challenge curates from.
One problem a day for 100 days rewires problem-solving and builds real platform fluency — constraints, edge cases, live judges.
Low enough friction that students never skip — daily execution beats occasional intensity.
By Day 100: a solved-count, a difficulty spread, a global rank — a portfolio, not a promise.
The heatmap is visible proof of discipline — the exact signal recruiters now scan for.
Practice volume measurably correlates with interview performance — studied, not assumed.
Illustrative hiring funnel — the coding round filters most candidates; daily practice changes the odds. Sources: interviewing.io (100k+ interviews); LeetCode data via Wikipedia (2025).
A daily challenge, a profile that tracks every solve, and a leaderboard that keeps the batch honest.
Given an array of integers nums and an integer target, return indices of the two numbers that add up to target…
The daily problem — posted to your batch group each morning with tags and the companies known to ask it.
The profile every recruiter sees: solved count, difficulty split, global rank, streak heatmap.
| Student | Solved | Streak | This week | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Ananya SCSE · 3rd Year | 96 / 100 | 🔥 68 | 7 / 7 |
| 2 | Mohammed FISE · 3rd Year | 94 / 100 | 🔥 61 | 7 / 7 |
| 3 | Rakshith KCSE · 2nd Year | 91 / 100 | 🔥 54 | 6 / 7 |
| 4 | Deepika NAIML · 3rd Year | 88 / 100 | 🔥 42 | 6 / 7 |
| 5 | Prajwal HECE · 3rd Year | 85 / 100 | 🔥 39 | 5 / 7 |
The batch leaderboard — shared with faculty coordinators and T&P; many colleges map engagement to internal marks. Representative view; names illustrative.
No new app, no timetable disruption — one rhythm in the batch WhatsApp group, repeated 100 times.
One problem, hand-picked from what companies are actually asking now — posted to the student group.
Attempt on the real platform — constraints, edge cases, live judges. The profile records everything.
The solution goes out. See the optimal approach, benchmark your own, close the gap — daily.
Curated, not random. Every problem is drawn from the most frequently asked interview questions in current hiring cycles — 100 days of practice is 100 days of direct interview prep.
Curated from questions asked at
Difficulty ramps deliberately — never a problem you haven't been prepared for, never comfortable for long.
Approachable arrays, strings & logic. Show up daily, learn the editor, light the first streak.
Hashing, two pointers, sliding window, stacks, binary search — the patterns behind most questions.
Mediums from current hiring cycles — trees, graphs, DP. Where interviews are won.
Mixed difficulty and selective hards — 2× the value of mediums. Finish with 100 solves and a full heatmap.
Challenge and solution land in the official student group — no new app, no login to forget.
Coordinators stay in the group throughout — visibility that keeps participation serious.
Every student's LeetCode profile is public — streaks and solves visible to peers, faculty, and recruiters alike. Visibility is the accountability.
The 100 Days of Coding Challenge is 10 SECONDS' initiative to make daily coding a culture, not an event — to normalise solving one real problem a day until it's second nature across a batch.
It works both ways. Students gain a habit, a public profile, and interview-ready range. And as those profiles climb, the students themselves become the proof — quietly carrying the 10 SECONDS name into placement seasons, recruiter conversations, and every campus that hears about the batch that showed up for 100 straight days.
A guided 5-minute setup we run before Day 001 — the account where every solve, streak and rank compounds into a public coding resume.
Register at leetcode.com with a personal email — not the college one. This profile outlives the degree and follows the student into placements.
Recruiters see it. Use firstname_lastname or name_branch — resume-grade, not a nickname.
Add name, college, and LinkedIn/GitHub links. Complete profiles rank higher in recruiter searches on the platform.
The heatmap and streak begin the moment the first submission passes. From here, the daily challenge does the rest.
We handle onboarding, daily posting and solutions end-to-end. Your team just provides a faculty coordinator for the group.
We run the entire cadence — daily challenge, solution, tracking. Visibility without operational load.
Delivered through the student WhatsApp groups you already have — no new tool, no login, no IT overhead.
Award internal assignment marks on leaderboard engagement — the biggest driver of sustained participation.
When recruiters ask for coding profiles, your students have 100 days of verifiable practice — batch-wide.
Two decades of employability training, assessment and staffing across Karnataka — the same rigour now applied to daily coding practice.
Yes — that's exactly who Days 001–015 are for. The challenge starts approachable and ramps deliberately, building capability rather than assuming it.
They solve it when they can and keep moving — the leaderboard rewards consistency, not perfection. But the daily rhythm is where the transformation happens.
Curation (problems companies currently ask), accountability (leaderboard + faculty + possible marks), and same-day solutions to benchmark against.
A student WhatsApp group and a faculty coordinator. We handle onboarding, daily posting, solutions, and tracking end-to-end.
A 30-minute conversation shows you the model, the leaderboard, and the marks-integration framework in action. We handle the rest.
