The complete schedule of ACM ICPC 2015 - 2016 can be downloaded here.

For the ACM ICPC 2015 - 2016 regionals, there will be 3 sites within India. However, IIT Kharagpur & IIT Kanpur will not be hosting the regionals this time. We have two new hosts for the India regionals. The new regional sites for India are - Amritapuri, Hindustan University, and National Institute of Technical Teachers' Training and Research, Kolkata.

• Participants need to register on the Baylor Site to be eligible to take part in the contest. Click here to register.
• Each regional site will host a preliminary online round.
• Each participant can take part only in two preliminary online round. You must not register your team for more than two sites, as that will lead to your disqualification from all three regionals.
• Based on performance of the online round, each regional site will decide on the number of teams to be invited for the on-site round.
• Preference will be given to maximize the number of colleges participating in the on-site round.
• Each regional site will have a few slots booked for advancing the top teams to the World Finals based on the performance of the teams in their on-site rounds.
• A team can participate at most in two regional sites in one year. A team in asia can take part in regionals for 5 years (and not 5 regionals).
• The foreign teams can directly appear on the onsite rounds. However, they need to register themselves first.

Apart from the ambitious Go For Gold initiative, where we want an Indian team to win the ICPC world finals, for the 2015 - 2016 edition, we will continue our support towards the participants through:

• Conducting three warm-up rounds for ACM ICPC on the Sunday, 23rd August, 2015 , Sunday, 20th September, 2015, and Sunday, 18th October, 2015.
• ACM-ICPC travel reimbursement for 150 Indian students from the August, September, and October Cook-Off 2015's respectively.

New top 50 Indian students from all three warm-up rounds for ACM ICPC 2015 - 2016 shall have their ACM-ICPC expenses reimbursed!
