MIST Teams at RUET IUPC 2022

As the field of technology continues to evolve, the barrier separating creativity and logic begins to blur and programming becomes the most sought-after skill to keep in pace with the modern world. MIST Computer Club (MCC) diligently encourages young minds to delve into the vast domain of out-of-the-box thinking, logical evaluation and problem-solving. Over the span of years, MCC has developed a successful dynamic between the experienced and the novice, which acted as a primary constituent in creating an amicable and productive community. The consequence is evident in the recent series of achievements hoarded in the field of competitive programming.

In February 2020, MIST successfully hosted the National Collegiate Programming Contest (NCPC) 2020, which is a flagship event in the arena of competitive programming in Bangladesh. Shortly after the mega event, everything was brought to a standstill owing to the COVID-19 pandemic. Even so, MCC managed to continue its activities online.
