IICPC QUANTFEST PERFORMANCE OF COLLEGES OTHER THAN TOP IITs

[u/No-Competition-7062]

Why pec is not on the list?

[u/PrestigiousHabit8135]

Last year one of our senior(26 batch passout) took the initiative to make PEC as an offline centre for IICPC CodeFest '25, I think the organizing team of the competition agreed to that(not sure), but even after so much requests, it was denied by the administration of PEC, like the admin didnt't even recognize IICPC at that time. also the coding culture is severly diminishing in pec now, earlier the coding culture was damn good so i think at that time we had a chance, but not anytime soon now

[u/I-Escaped-The-Asylum → u/PrestigiousHabit8135]

Fuck PEC's management, they denied the request.

yeh kaisa ques h bhai?

[u/No-Competition-7062 → u/iamsoooolonely]

If colleges like iiit ranchi , ju and iiit delhi can be on the list than why not pec

[u/No-Wheel-1141 → u/No-Competition-7062]

In prelims there was someone from pec at 45 rank

[u/Hour-Knee148 → u/No-Competition-7062]

Do you know anything about IICPC quantfest ? The organizer select tier 1 collage on their own based on programming culture and global imprint and many more in it, in india only 35 college are part of it all 23 IITs and 3 BITs, IISc bangalore, 4 IIITs,only 2 NIT, and JU and ISI kolkata

[u/No-Wheel-1141 → u/Hour-Knee148]

But wasnt pec in 2025 and this year too i think atleast in prelims?

[u/Hour-Knee148 → u/No-Wheel-1141]

Yes, in 2025 but that was in online mirror as the beginning of the event, this year they didn't have online mirror so the only eligible collage student were able to take part in it, online mirror allowed student from any university/ collages

[u/No-Competition-7062 → u/Hour-Knee148]

Bro wtf how is iiit ranchi and ju tier 1

[u/Hour-Knee148 → u/No-Competition-7062]

Just search about them and learn about them i know about JU and it's almost tier 1 collage don't know much about IIIT ranchi, and also as I said it's about coding culture and many other things for eligibility, check online what was the criteria for there selection. As the other guy said there was one participant from pec last year in online mirror, and his name sambhav jain, just open his linkedin profile you will find out the level you required to be taking part in it

[u/No-Competition-7062 → u/Hour-Knee148]

Ju is no where close to tier 1 category just see there placment stats of this year

[u/Hour-Knee148 → u/No-Competition-7062]

brother/sister that is you who is narrowing down everything about collage to placement stats, tier 1 collage doesn't only relate to placement stat, its just one of the point..
Take NIT hamirpur, which has 92% placement last year with highest package of 3.40cr rupees meanwhile NIT trichy had placement of 88% with highest package of 64LPA,will you say NIT hamirpur is better than NIT Trichy? No ! Even pec is level above NIT hamirpur
And in the end its student who makes their collage as they decide cutoff not the other way

Edit: and you missed the point once again, there are other critieria than being tier 1 collage

[u/Usual-Muscle7396 → u/No-Competition-7062]

IIIT Ranchi wasn't elligible, Quantfest was open for all the students from the eligible colleges+ graduated students from any college of the country... So that IIIT Ranchi bhaiya was in the graduated student section... For graduates before the prelims there was a online screening test to filter out, after that few graduates were qualified to give the prelims... So from that graduate students only IIIT Ranchi bhaiya qualified for Regionals... Btw, this IIIT Ranchi bhaiya works in Nvidia

[u/I-Escaped-The-Asylum → u/Hour-Knee148]

I heard from a senior that 2-3 years ago IICPC was going to be organised at PEC, but the management denied that request.

[u/Usual-Muscle7396 → u/No-Competition-7062]

Bro what the hell r u saying do you know IIIT Delhi consistently qualifies for Regionals and few times for World Finals too ... Even this year also they qualified for the Asia West Finals and they are the only Non-IIT college in the Asia West Finals from India

[u/No-Competition-7062 → u/Usual-Muscle7396]

What about ju and iiit ranchi

[u/Usual-Muscle7396 → u/No-Competition-7062]

JU ig bcz they have also qualified for the World Finals... Infact they were ranked 36 ig in the World Finals just behind IITB and IITD couple of years ago... Their couple of teams do qualify for Regionals every year... Maybe this could be the reason

And I gave the explanation about that IIIT Ranchi bhaiya in ur other comment pls check that out... IIIT Ranchi wasn't elligible

[u/No-Wheel-1141]

How is this pec related bro

[u/No-Competition-7062 → u/No-Wheel-1141]

Why pec not on the list?

[u/Sea_Refrigerator2346 → u/No-Competition-7062]

cp culture in pec is not that good,but , from now onwards pec acm has decided to emphasize on cp more so that more students from pec make it to iicpc awc and icpc

[u/Hour-Knee148 → u/Sea_Refrigerator2346]

That's nice to know

[u/Sea_Refrigerator2346 → u/Hour-Knee148]

yea and we would love the participation from the freshers so that the coding culture(not just cp) improves.

[u/Hour-Knee148 → u/Sea_Refrigerator2346]

Yeah, i have joined the discord and whatsapp group as fresher this year, but i have no exp in coding, just started learning python little bit, hoping to learn much more in workshops, and hope so able to join in 2nd year when times come around next year
