Recent String of Successes of MCC teams in Competitive Programming

MIST Teams at RUET IUPC 2022

As the field of technology continues to evolve, the barrier separating creativity and logic begins to blur and programming becomes the most sought-after skill to keep in pace with the modern world. MIST Computer Club (MCC) diligently encourages young minds to delve into the vast domain of out-of-the-box thinking, logical evaluation and problem-solving. Over the span of years, MCC has developed a successful dynamic between the experienced and the novice, which acted as a primary constituent in creating an amicable and productive community. The consequence is evident in the recent series of achievements hoarded in the field of competitive programming.

In February 2020, MIST successfully hosted the National Collegiate Programming Contest (NCPC) 2020, which is a flagship event in the arena of competitive programming in Bangladesh. Shortly after the mega event, everything was brought to a standstill owing to the COVID-19 pandemic. Even so, MCC managed to continue its activities online. In ICPC 2020 Asia Dhaka Regional Contest hosted by the University of Dhaka, which was held online in August 2021, team MIST_NashInMate secured the 45th position. The team was formed of A.S.M. Rakibul Hasan (CSE-19), Mahedi Kamal Avash (CSE-19) and M Rayhan Ferdous Faisal (CSE-20).

In the post-pandemic period, the IUPC that marked the resumption of onsite contests was RUET IUPC 2022. Two teams, MIST_Hadron and MIST_Trijkstra took part there. MIST_Hadron, composed of Tariquel Islam Tamim (CSE-19), Mahedi Kamal Avash (CSE-19) and Muhammad Samee Sevas (CSE-20) grabbed the 45th position there. Not long after, MIST_CodeRedRebels and MIST_Decoders participated in the AUST IUPC 2022. After that, MIST_CodeRedRebels and MIST_Phantoms participated at BUET IUPC 2022.
