Competitive Programming for Teens

In India, the informatics olympiad path runs through the zonal qualifiers, ZCO and ZIO, into INOI, the Indian National Olympiad in Informatics, and onward through the training camp toward the International Olympiad in Informatics. Internationally we prepare students for the USACO divisions from Bronze upward. Both test the same underlying algorithmic skill, so the training serves either.

Both are supported. Python is entirely adequate for the earlier stages and many students start there. C++ is the pragmatic choice at higher levels because of its speed and standard template library, and time limits eventually make that matter. We teach C++ properly for students aiming at the later rounds, and we never force a switch before it is useful.

They need working basics: loops, conditionals, functions and arrays. They do not need any algorithms background, which is what the course builds. What matters far more than existing skill is willingness to solve problems between classes, because in competitive programming practice volume beats natural talent almost every time.

Upsolving means going back after a contest and solving the problems you could not solve during it, until you can do them unaided. It is where nearly all real improvement happens, and it is the single habit that separates students who plateau from students who keep climbing. Every contest in this course is followed by a structured upsolve.

Group classes start at ₹1,499 per month for two classes a week. A Mini Batch of three to four students is ₹2,499 per month, and 1-on-1 classes are ₹4,999 per month. There is a free demo class first, so you can see the teaching before you decide.
