Computers are where the future lies. And they guarantee a bright future for everybody choosing them as a profession.
And to make the most of these opportunities, the need of the hour is to give the 'Go for Computers' movement an impetus and groom the younger generation for the opportunities waiting to be grabbed.
The National Cyber Olympiad, the first of its kind in the country, is a nationwide talent search contest that will locate and identify cyber savvy talent amongst the younger generation. It is as much about creating awareness about computers by bringing in an element of challenge and competition as about inspiring the younger generation to enhance their knowledge and comprehension of issues related to computers and information technology and to test their aptitude for taking up a career in computers in the future.
Rather than testing the text book knowledge of the aspirants, the Cyber Olympiad will essentially be an aptitude test, laying stress on questions that call for mental, logical and analytical reasoning and will also concern itself with the day-to-day issues pertaining to computers and information technology such as:
1. Why do you 'boot up' a computer?
2. Who is a hacker?
3. What is the difference between RAM and ROM?
4. What is a computer virus and what would you do if your computer is infected with virus?
5. Who popularized e-mail?
