What INTECS - UoM does

INTECS (Information Technology Society) is the official student society of the Faculty of Information Technology at the University of Moratuwa, Sri Lanka, established in 2002. It operates as a non-incorporated, non-commercial student body run by annually elected undergraduate committees, with a stated mission of building IT awareness among undergraduates and exposing them to industry opportunities within Sri Lanka and beyond. Its activity portfolio comprises eight recurring programs: INTECS Tech Talk (senior-conducted technology sessions), INTECS Outreach and FIT2School (school visits and ICT exam-prep support for GCE O/L and A/L students), FIT CodeRush (annual coding competition on HackerRank), HackMoral (annual mini-hackathon for second-year students), FIT Future Careers (annual career fair with tiered industry sponsorships), INTECS Industry Sessions (company-led technical and soft-skill workshops), and LinkIT (technical writing program published on Medium).

The organization serves three constituencies without charging any fees: FIT undergraduates as the primary beneficiary, school students preparing for national ICT examinations, and IT industry employers who participate as career fair sponsors and Tech Talk contributors. Technical infrastructure is intentionally lightweight, relying on HackerRank as the competition backbone, Zoom for virtual tech sessions, Medium for content publishing, and Facebook for community engagement. The 2023 FIT Future Careers career fair featured a structured sponsorship stack led by Rootcode (Platinum), Axiata Digital Labs (Gold), 99X Technology, SimCentric Technologies, Xitricon, and Cambio Software Engineering (Silver), with Dialog Axiata as Telecom Partner and Saga Group as Event Partner.

There is no commercial revenue model: events, workshops, and career fair participation are free for IT faculty undergraduates. The society is governed entirely by volunteer student committees operating under the university's Faculty of IT framework, with no external investors, no funding rounds, no subsidiaries, and no formal ownership structure. Nimna Perera serves as President, supported by event coordinators Janith Bimsara, Imalsha Liyanage, and Zenith Anthony for CodeRush 2022.

Scale indicators2 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Others

• IEEE Computer Society — Student Branches: IEEE Computer Society supports student branches globally that organize technical talks, workshops, and competitions for computing students. INTECS functions as a comparable professional society-equivalent for FIT undergraduates, providing industry exposure and skill development programming.
• LeetCode: LeetCode runs coding contests and provides a practice platform widely used by students preparing for technical interviews and competitions. INTECS's coding-competition programming overlaps with LeetCode's contest-and-practice audience, though LeetCode is a global commercial platform rather than a student society.
• Devpost: Devpost is a hackathon hosting platform used by universities and companies to run online and offline hackathons. It is comparable as infrastructure for student coding competitions similar to INTECS's HackMoral and CodeRush events.
• ACM (Association for Computing Machinery) — Student Chapters: ACM sponsors student chapters worldwide, including at universities in South Asia, running computing-focused student activities such as tech talks, competitions, and career events. INTECS plays a similar role within UoM's FIT, though as an institution-specific society rather than a global chapter network.
• HackerRank: HackerRank is the technology platform that powers INTECS's CodeRush and HackMoral competitions. It is comparable as an ecosystem enabler providing coding assessments, practice playgrounds, and competitive programming infrastructure used by student communities and employers.

Emerging players

• Handshake: Handshake is a career platform focused on connecting college students with employers, including university-hosted career fairs and recruitment events. INTECS's FIT Future Careers career fair addresses the same student-employer matchmaking need at a single-faculty level.

Direct peers

• Major League Hacking (MLH): MLH is the official student hackathon league, running hackathons at universities across North America and beyond. Like INTECS, its core model is organizing university hackathons and student tech events, making it the closest direct peer despite its larger geographic scope.
