Hello Codeforces community!

As some of you might already know, UFDS has been discontinued. My friends and I were quite dejected to hear this, so we decided (after getting permission) to create something similar but disjoint.

We are excited to announce the SPOI (Shortest Path to IOI) Mentorship Program for 2025, which is aimed at Indian school students preparing for the ZCO, INOI, and IOITC. This program is completely free, and we strive to establish its reputation as the premier initiative to help aspiring IOITC qualifiers.

Our program offers:

  • Regular lectures on competitive programming topics.
  • Practice problems after these lectures, along with carefully curated problem sets.
  • A structured syllabus that goes hand-in-hand with INOI.

Most importantly, by joining the program, you will get access to ZCO and INOI mocks for practice.

Although this program is primarily aimed at students eligible for the Indian Computing Olympiads, we will consider other applicants on a case-by-case basis, with participants from other countries' Informatics Olympiads having a higher chance of getting accepted. For more information on the eligibility for the Indian Computing Olympiads, click here.

If you're interested in joining, please fill out this form.

Our team of enthusiastic mentors (many of whom were also UFDS mentors) includes multiple IOI medallists and IOI campers.

We look forward to helping you achieve your programming goals!

Regards,
The SPOI Mentorship Program Team
