Program Overview
Competitive programming is where algorithmic skill becomes fast, precise and fearless, and it pays off far beyond contests: the same technique wins placement rounds, quant interviews and hard engineering problems. This live online masterclass builds it in the order that actually works: C++ with STL and fast I/O, complexity instincts and the core structures, then the arsenal, number theory, combinatorics, tree and graph algorithms, dynamic programming from basics to bitmask and DP-on-trees, string algorithms, computational geometry, then the part solo learners never crack: contest strategy, speed, template discipline and reading problems under pressure, up through expert-level techniques like FFT and advanced graph theory. A finale month runs a full contest simulation and sits the final exam.
The pace is honest: ten teaching months at two live classes a week plus four to six hours of solving, with two more in hand. Problem sets after every class, monthly mixed reviews, phase exams, and a final exam that decides the certificate with a free retest.
What Makes This Program Different
- Contest technique taught explicitly: strategy, speed and template discipline, not just algorithms
- C++ and STL for competitive speed, the arena standard
- The full arsenal: number theory, geometry, advanced DP and expert graph theory
- Real contests during the course, debriefed honestly, no rating promises
- An honest 10-month arc with 2 months in hand
- Real assessment: weekly problem sets, monthly mixed reviews, phase exams and a final exam with a free retest
