Connect, Compete, Conquer

NSUPS changed my life I should say. I didn't know about problem solving or ACM ICPC, NSUPS made me learn about these. It is also a community where I met some talented individuals, mentors, senior and junior people. I learned new stuff, had fun while I was an active member of NSUPS. I recommend all the NSUers who are interested in problem solving and want to represent NSU in national or international level to be a part of the NSU Problem Solvers group.

My association with NSU Problem Solvers Community dates way back into the old Banani Campus when a handful of “crazy” programming nerds used to hang around the in-between roads and the tea-stalls. It was not a formal community then, yet the bonding that was there still exists. So when I came back and joined NSU as a lecturer in 2015, I guess quite naturally I was drawn towards NSUPS. I cannot even remember how and when I became a part of it. In the past few years, I have seen the community go through a lot of phases, sometimes good, sometimes may be not quite so, but one thing was constant: the bonding among the community members. I wish NSUPS to be the home for every problem solvers.

NSUPS has been one of the most memorable journeys in my life. I have spent the majority of my university life with this community. I got the opportunity to learn a lot of things and improve my problem-solving skills significantly with the guidance of some extremely brilliant people. Even in my professional life, those skills always help me to put better performances in my work. I still miss those days a lot when we used to do the team & individual contests together in our labs and then do a small party in the end 🙂 I also got to meet some amazing people in NSUPS, some of whom became very close friends of mine and some became my colleagues later on, who also had some significant contributions in some very critical situations in my life. NSUPS helped me to become a better person, made me confident and persevering and guided me to where I am today. And I’ll always be proud of that 🙂

Having been involved with NSUPS since my very first day at NSU, I can confidently say that it would be the appropriate organization to hone one's critical thinking skills. Through NSUPS, students improve their skills in data structure, algorithms, and mathematics, and thus get benefitted not only in programming competitions but also in academics. An incredible perk of being involved in this versatile community is being able to network with a pool of alumni working at prominent companies and/or pursuing higher education at top-ranked universities. Finally, everyone you'll meet at NSUPS - friends, trainers- will turn into a cohesive family within and beyond your programming journey.

I spent a great deal of my college time learning and training with NSUPS. The skills I gained there helped me prepare well for my academic life as well as for the career track I chose after college. Moreover, there I got to know and collaborate with a brilliant group of people both inside and outside NSU, some of whom became my closest friends. We had some amazing faculty members supervising us and caring for us the whole way. Overall, if you have a love for problem solving, analytical thinking and computer science, the time and effort you spend with NSUPS will take you a long way.

If I look back at my life, I find that NSUPS played one of the most important roles. I feel honored that I got the chance of working with a few of the brightest minds of NSU. I still get surprised by the amazing works they are doing after our time at NSUPS. I'm thankful for the skills we gained and the friendship we built during our time at NSUPS. I also can't thank enough our amazing faculty members who shielded us from all sorts of difficulties and guided us through. NSUPS will always be a memory that I cherish, forever.

I attended NSUPS bootcamp S6 and it not only helped me in my advanced CSE course but also helped me secure a software engineering internship outperforming 400 applicants.

I can say without a doubt that my experience here at nsups has been crucial in my quest of grasping the heart of the code. This has allowed me to easily learn new programming languages, reverse engineer codes, understand ML, robotics etc, while allowing me to stay lazy.

NSUPS played a significant role in shaping my foundation in algorithmic problem-solving and DSA. I was involved during the first two years of my undergrad, and it helped me develop skills and connections that I believe are helpful till date.

My journey in competitive programming began with NSUPS. Their bootcamp was a turning point for me — I went from a complete beginner to a Specialist on Codeforces during the program. The competitive yet supportive environment, along with guidance from experienced mentors, helped me learn essential algorithms and problem-solving techniques. Through NSUPS, I had the opportunity to participate in ICPC and IUPC, which greatly enhanced my teamwork and analytical skills. The experience I gained there played a key role in helping me become a Candidate Master on Codeforces and contributed significantly to landing my current job.

NSUPS stands as my greatest source of pride, the epitome of power-packed competition where my mentors and peers shaped the way I think and engage in this competitive world. Immersing myself in Bootcamp S7 and Rated contests later on gave me an edge that goes beyond any classroom, the impact continues to reverberate across all my pursuits.

NSUPS was the cornerstone of my undergraduate journey and software engineering career. It connected me with passionate coders, inspiring seniors, and lifelong friends. The structured bootcamp, team practices, and mentorship shaped both my skills and mindset. Even years after graduation, NSUPS still feels like home, a place that continues to inspire me.

I attended NSUPS in Season 07. After Season 08, I became one of the core members. I can proudly say that NSUPS has played the most significant role in my growth both personally and academically. It helped me develop my thinking ability and patience, which continue to support me greatly in my current research journey. Thanks to NSUPS, I can now approach problems from multiple perspectives and optimize my thinking and problem-solving capabilities. It truly taught me how to solve problems and helped shape the person I am today.
