Third-Year Team Ranks Above IITs at ICPC

A third-year team from RU delivered a standout performance at the ICPC Chennai Regionals, competing against top teams from IITs, NITs, and IIITs across India. Despite being younger than most competitors, the team secured a 22nd rank nationally, placing them ahead of several established institutions. They also ranked 3rd among all private colleges in India, marking a major milestone for the program. The result reflects strong fundamentals in algorithms, consistent practice, and focused mentorship. It’s a powerful signal of what early exposure to competitive programming can achieve.

Two State Golds, Top-5 Global Rank in Taekwondo

At the Karnataka State Championship, he won two gold medals, showcasing technical excellence and discipline. He went on to compete at the Singapore International Championship (Daedo Open), securing a Top-5 global rank. Competing at this level demands years of training, mental strength, and consistency. Akshay’s journey reflects commitment beyond academics and brings pride to the entire NST community.
