Students of MISIS delivered an outstanding performance at the Northern Eurasia Championship of the International Collegiate Programming Contest (ICPC), one of the most prestigious competitions in competitive programming worldwide. The teams demonstrated strong results, reaffirming the university’s solid reputation in training specialists in algorithmic programming.
Held since 1977, the ICPC is considered one of the largest and most respected team-based programming competitions. Every year, thousands of students from leading universities around the globe take part, competing to solve complex algorithmic problems under strict time constraints. The contest challenges participants not only to possess deep knowledge of algorithms and data structures, but also to analyze problem statements quickly, find unconventional solutions, and manage time effectively within a team. Tasks involve working with large datasets, geometric and probabilistic models, as well as interactive problem formats.
Following the results of the championship, the Fiksiki team (Ivan Maksimov, Ivan Skobelev, and Andrey Shalimov) was awarded a second-degree diploma. The students placed 39th out of 303 teams in the Northern Eurasia region, securing a strong position in the upper tier of the rankings.
The NoName team (Biliktо Dorzhiev, Ivan Brechkin, and Daniil Ananyev) represented MISIS at the ICPC semifinal for the first time. For their performance, the team received a third-degree diploma.
Student preparation for competitions is carried out within the ACM MISIS association, which has been promoting competitive programming at the university since 2009. The association helps students develop teamwork skills, algorithmic thinking, and experience in participating in international tournaments.
