Official rules and criteria for team selection in ICPC Asia Dhaka Regional Contest 2025
Official guidelines for determining team quotas for ICPC Asia Dhaka Regional Contest 2025
The quota for each university will be decided based on their performance in:
Dhaka Regional Onsite Contest
(Hosted by BUBT)
Dhaka Regional Onsite Contest
(Hosted by DIU)
If the quota for a university is X, the top X teams (based on ranking in the ICPC Dhaka Regional Preliminary Contest 2025) from that university will qualify for the ICPC Dhaka Regional Onsite Contest 2025.
Teams are selected strictly based on their preliminary contest ranking within their university.
The total number of teams from a university (combining clauses 1, 2, 3, and 5) cannot exceed Eight (8) teams.
Exception: All-girl teams may be considered as a potential 9th team.
Two (2) additional slots will be reserved for all-girl/female teams
These teams will be selected after the teams under the default quota have been finalized. If an all-girl/female team qualifies under the default quota, it will not count toward these two reserved slots.
The two teams must be from two different universities/institutes.
Each selected team must have solved at least two (2) problems in the preliminary contest.
Teams will be selected based on their contest ranking.
If a university already has an all-girl team qualified under the default quota, it cannot receive an additional slot under this quota.
