ACM International Collegiate Programming Contest results
The results from the recently concluded ACM International Collegiate Programming Contest (ICPC) are out. St. Petersburg University of IT, Mechanics and Optics (Russia) secured the first place, MIT came in second, followed by Izhevsk State Technical University (Russia) in the third place.
The list is dominated by Russian, East European and Chinese universities.
The first Indian contestant (IIT-Madras) appears way down the list at position 47, where it is tied with Chennai Mathematical Institute.
I wonder why we cant see any Indian colleges higher up in the list. Are Indian colleges just ignorant about the presence of this competition and not participating or does the quality of our education need to seriously improve ?
Just something to ponder about.
