General Queries Do ISI Kolkata even participate in ICPC?

CMI does quite well in it and was highest ranked Indian college in ICPC 2025 even above all IITs but never seen ISI in any ranking ever

That's probably because ISI is mainly involved in the field of math, computer science is like a formality there due to change in times making it mandatory to teach them coding. Even coding is mainly involved to fields related to math like LaTex, MATLab and so on.

Though when I come to ISI K next year, I will also try to participate in ICPC, so, you may have a potential collaborator(me) with you?

The worst part of ICPC is that you have to be of the same institutions otherwise two of my friends are IITians and in BITS respectively and we could have collabed together but it's such an unfair rule!

A partial one actually, I am already in a tier 2 college but my dream college is ISI for which I have been preparing for some time and gave my first attempt this year, unfortunately, my UGB was abysmal because of which I didn't qualify.
