The reason behind why IIT BHU has never reached to ACM-IPC world finals is the lack of proper guidance and preparation. There are many good coders in IIT BHU and they practice competitive coding very seriously. In the past, students from IIT BHU reached the regionals but did not go ahead with the preparation for global finals as they fetched good job offers. Many coders have the potential to reach the finals, but they stop putting serious efforts when they are assured that they will be placed in their dream companies. Also, there was a lack of proper junior-senior interaction in the past years due to which proper guidance to reach the finals was not given. This trend has now been changed and now every week interaction sessions are being organized so that the first-year students are motivated properly from the very beginning. In these sessions, important algorithms are discussed and home works for the next session are being given. All these sessions are being organized and managed by Club Of Programmers (COPS). Because of these sessions, the students are well motivated from their first year itself and the number of blue coders on Codeforces has been increased from 2 to 7 and one of the students is Purple coder which means he is the highest-rated coder on codeforces. Because of their efforts, the coding culture of IIT BHU  has been improved and IIT BHU  secured second place at Kolkata-Kanpur regionals, so they will be representing the college for the world finals.
