About contest
The AcadNet competition was 1st time organized in 2008. There are two sections: Computers and Networking.
The contest has a theoretical part, in the form of a multiple-choice quiz with one or more correct answers and/or a practical challenge on virtual machines or simulators.
The students participating in Networking receive a Cisco Packet Tracer topology and they are being asked to do troubleshooting and/or implement new functionalities. The solved subject must be uploaded on the contest site within the assigned timeframe.
The students participating in Computers will receive access to one or more virtual machines on which they will be required to solve different tasks.
