Welcome to the OpenCode Developer Society (OCD), where passion meets innovation! Approved by our esteemed professors, we're a student-driven community at the National Institute of Technology, Kurukshetra dedicated to empowering tech enthusiasts. We foster a collaborative environment where members can refine their problem-solving skills and learn from each other's approaches through daily DSA discussions, CP discussions, and Development Projects, thereby promoting mutual growth and innovation.
What We Offer:

Our two major projects, NoterAI and CPMasters, are testaments to our dedication to innovation and providing a platform for members to develop real-world software development skills.
Mentorship:
Second and third-year members will mentor new juniors, fostering a collaborative environment for project development and research. The ongoing projects at OCD are mentored by dedicated seniors who provide guidance and support to the members. Under their mentorship, many members have made their first pull request (PR) and gained valuable experience in real-world software development. This mentorship program fosters a collaborative environment where members can learn from experienced seniors and contribute to meaningful projects. It serves as a platform for skill development and encourages members to explore new technologies and ideas.
