How can I participate in the competitions?
Participants can register for the National Olympiad in Informatics (NOI), IEEEXtreme 19.0, and ICPC through the respective official websites once registrations open. For NOI, students need to register through their schools, often with the guidance of a teacher or academic coordinator. For IEEEXtreme 19.0, you must be an IEEE member to be eligible to participate, ensuring you meet this prerequisite before attempting to register. For ICPC, your university team coach will need to register your team, highlighting the team-based nature of this competition and the need for institutional support.
What training sessions are available?
We offer a series of training sessions focusing on problem-solving, algorithmic thinking, teamwork, time management, and insights from past winners to prepare participants for competitions.
