The team of Baku State University (BSU) has won the Azerbaijan regional round of the 50th ICPC – International Collegiate Programming Contest. The competition was organized by the ICPC Azerbaijan Community, Azerbaijan Technical University, and ADA University, with the support of the Innovation and Digital Development Agency.

The BSU team earned the right to participate in the North Eurasia Finals of the 50th International Collegiate Programming Contest (the global semifinal stage), as well as the South Caucasus Open Championship (in both team and individual categories).

The competition, held at Azerbaijan Technical University, brought together 52 teams from 20 higher education institutions across the country (each team consisting of three students and a coach), along with three high-school teams participating off-contest. The teams were given five hours to solve 12 algorithmic problems using C++, Java, or Python, and to submit their solutions for evaluation via an automated judging system. Based on the final results, the BSU team secured third place.

Our team is now one of the 21 teams that will represent the country at the semifinal stage of the 50th ICPC – International Collegiate Programming Contest and the South Caucasus Open Championship, to be held on 15–17 December 2025 in Tbilisi, Georgia.
