Battle of the Multiverse ’26: Sri Lanka–Japan CTF Challenge Successfully Concluded
The Battle of the Multiverse ’26, an international hybrid Capture the Flag (CTF) competition, was successfully held on 21st and 22nd March 2026 at the LNBTI City Campus, Maharagama. This landmark initiative brought together undergraduate students from Sri Lanka and Japan, fostering academic collaboration and practical engagement in the field of cybersecurity.
Organized by the Cybersecurity Club of LNBTI, the event marked a significant step in strengthening international academic partnerships while promoting excellence in emerging technological domains.
The 24-hour competition was designed to simulate real-world cybersecurity challenges, enabling participants to apply theoretical knowledge in practical contexts. The competition covered a broad spectrum of areas, including:
- Cryptography
- Digital Forensics
- Web Exploitation
- Reverse Engineering
- Full-Pwn Challenges
Through these activities, participants enhanced their analytical thinking, technical expertise, and collaborative problem-solving skills—competencies that are essential in today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape.
A distinguishing feature of the event was its hybrid and international nature, allowing students from both countries to participate simultaneously. This provided a valuable platform for:
- Cross-cultural knowledge exchange
- Exposure to diverse technical approaches
- Development of global professional networks
Such initiatives reflect LNBTI’s commitment to producing globally competent graduates equipped to meet international industry standards.
The successful execution of Battle of the Multiverse ’26 highlights LNBTI’s continuous efforts to integrate practical learning opportunities with academic excellence. The Cybersecurity Club plays a pivotal role in this endeavour by organizing activities that bridge the gap between classroom learning and industry practice.
Battle of the Multiverse ’26 stands as a milestone event that underscores the importance of cybersecurity education, innovation, and international collaboration. The institute looks forward to organizing similar initiatives in the future to further strengthen student competencies and global engagement.

__ Student Achievement's
Completing my advanced diploma in Information Technology and Japanese language at LNBTI has been a great fortune. It enabled me to attend a prestigious university in Japan. I have now started my career as a system engineer in the IT field, and I am extremely thankful to LNBTI for the knowledge and guidance that contributed to my success.
I started my educational journey at LNBTI in 2019, completing my advanced diploma in 2022. Later, I joined the ICT Global Program at Aizu University as a third-year student. I am currently pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and Engineering with a focus on Biomedical Information Engineering, set to complete in March 2024. I have also received the Monbukagakusho, JASSO, and MEXT scholarships, and I am now pursuing a Master’s degree at Aizu University.
LNBTI is the best path for students to achieve their dreams. The support of the lecturers, particularly from Madulle, made it much easier for me to reach my goals. I greatly enjoyed learning Japanese from native-speaking instructors at LNBTI, and the knowledge I gained in information technology has helped me enhance my technical skills. The excellent relationship between the lecturers and the students, along with the e-learning system at LNBTI, was instrumental in my success. I look forward to completing my postgraduate studies at the University of Aizu.
After completing my degree at LNBTI, I joined Future University of Hakodate in Japan to pursue my studies in the field of intelligence systems. The technical skills I acquired in software engineering and Japanese language proficiency at LNBTI were immensely helpful in continuing my education at Future University of Hakodate. The group projects and extracurricular activities I participated in at LNBTI helped me participate in events like Robocon and the Soccer Robot Tournament in Japan. All the experiences and knowledge I gained at LNBTI have been valuable in completing advanced projects in Japan.
