With the support of Dulaty University and the Republican Public Association “Federation of Sports Programming,” the largest student 1/8 qualifying stage of the ICPC in programming was held.

ICPC is one of the most prestigious and significant competitions in the world of competitive programming! Participation in the ICPC is an opportunity to become part of an international community and a successful start to a career.

The main goal of the Olympiad is to highlight the importance of collaboration in education and digital initiatives, to provide students from universities across Kazakhstan with an opportunity to showcase their programming skills, to foster interest in IT, to develop technical abilities, to build successful careers in the industry, and to strengthen and expand professional connections.

To achieve these goals, the Federation is implementing a number of projects for students across all regions of Kazakhstan. In 2025, the International Collegiate Programming Contest (ICPC), the largest international team championship for university students, is scheduled to host the World Finals in Competitive Programming in Kazakhstan. Students who advance through the eighth-final and quarter-final, will have the opportunity to participate in the semifinals, which will be held in Almaty.

The major Round of 16 qualifying round took place offline on October 26, 2025, at Dulaty University. Five teams (2-3 people each) of students from majors: mathematics, computer science, and related fields, a total of 11 students, participated in the competition.
