ICPC Record — 5 teams from same college in top 100
Hello Codeforces!
I just saw the top of the ICPC India Preliminary 2026 tentative rank list, and it belongs to a relatively unknown college. Shockingly, this single college has 5 teams in the top 100, taking the absolute top positions over the usual IITs, NITs, and IIITs.
The college name is Padmashri Dr.B V Raju Institute Of Technology :
1. Rank 1: Team Null Titans — 10 problems solved
2. Rank 2: Team Gryffindor — 9 problems solved
3. Rank 6: Team BitMasters — 9 problems solved
4. Rank 52: Team Pheonix — 7 problems solved
5. Rank 54: Team Purpose-Driven Programmers — 7 problems solved
How can an unheard-of college suddenly output this level of performance and sweep the top 10 against the best competitive programming institutions in the country?
Has anyone else noticed this? What are your thoughts on these standings-could this be a genuine massive leap in their CP culture, or is something suspicious going on here ?
Given these unbelievable results, I strongly suspect foul play. Rumors are already spreading that some colleges shared the ICPC solution booklet(with different programming language like C, C++, Java, Python) with their students mid-contest. This completely ruins the genuineness of the rank list. I hope the ICPC India administration looks into this anomaly immediately.
