ICPC India 2021-22 is knocking at the door. So, inspired by similar blogs on Codeforces for Open Cup, Petrozavodsk Camp, and USACO, and also due to the fact ICPC Live Archive collapsed, I decided to list down all ICPC contests of India I could find.

Please note that this blog contains only the materials and links I could find. I hope this is of some help to you guys. For the Github repository regarding the same, see here.

This was the first time in several years only 2 regionals were conducted, and each of them had a separate qualifier round.
A Universal Cup round was organized based on Amritapuri and Asia West problems, details can be found in this CF blog. Kudos to the authors!
Small update: I have drifted away from CP in the past few months, so it might be a while before this blog is updated again.

Not sure if the websites are well maintained. They can be down anytime. Amritapuri's website mentioned we could practice the problems at ICPC live archive, so maybe we could have upsolved there.
A few of these problems might be available on SPOJ. Try searching by problem names.

Coimbatore Regional   Statements



With ICPC Live Archive down, and resources limited, I could not find a lot of resources of older contests.

Concluding notes:

  • This isn't an ultimate list, a lot of data is still missing. In case anyone finds anything worth adding here, feel free to suggest. Also, in case there is any error, or there exist better alternatives, do let me know that as well.
  • I uploaded a lot of data on github because I was unsure if the sites would be active in the distant future. Already enough links are down.
  • A lot of material in this blog has been taken from Codechef. Kudos to them.
  • I have linked most of the contests to the ICPC Site. It contains standings, problems, reports and also the local website links (some links might not work, I have added as many as I could find, maybe googling will help). Explore around to find all details.
  • Massive thanks to smax for proofreading this blog, and providing useful suggestions.
  • Good team contests in India are rare, so I had a (far fetched) idea of making a CF group which contained all Indian ICPC contests so that teams could participate and train themselves. However, I don't think I alone can do that. I hope Indian ICPC Committee (not sure if there exists any) considers about doing something similar in future.

    Hi, not sure if this is the same issue that you faced but when I tried to submit a solution today, I got this message under the submit button "Please register your team to participate in the contest."

    I found a temporary fix around this. I switched to the old contest page(option present just beneath problem title), and it was possible for me to submit my solution there. Don't know if this is just a glitch though.
