CodeChef College Chapters are the programming clubs run and maintained by the official Chapter Leaders and
mentored by CodeChef. They aim to make learning competitive programming accessible for students across the
globe.
The mission of CodeChef College Chapters is to build a robust Competitive Programming culture in educational
institutions. College Chapters help students become better problem solvers by fostering learning and
professional development. We believe every student should be given the proper mentorship and resources to
become a better programmer and compete on a global scale.
Chapter Leaders are responsible for conducting different activities and engagements to achieve this mission,
such as:
Creating, recruiting, growing, and leading the College Chapter
Setting a vision for the College Chapter and creating goals aligned with it
Organizing regular events, meetups, and speaker sessions
Monitoring the growth of students on campus and ensuring a peer-learning environment
Working with CodeChef team for improvements and development of the College Chapter

Hear what our Chapter leaders have to say
"Before starting CodeChef College Chapter most of the students in our campus were not even aware
about programming. After opening CodeChef College Chapter and conducting sessions, community
members have learned about Competitive Programming. Now at least 40-50% of people from my
college know about it.”
Archana Devi, CodeChef BIT Chapter
"I and my other core members are really thankful to CodeChef for providing me the opportunity to
take the lead and promote the coding culture in our college as well as outside our college. My
Communication, management and team playing skills are improved a lot as compared to what I was
in the beginning. We managed to get a huge participation of nearly 150 community members."
Rahul Sharma, CodeChef PEC Chapter
“I was the Competitive Programming Lead for VIT Vellore Chapter. Organising events and contests,
improving programming skills and mentoring our community members were the most important skills
I gained. Thanks to CodeChef, it was an amazing journey and an important part of my college
life.”
Kshitiz Verma, CodeChef VIT Vellore Chapter
“The most crucial thing CodeChef did in Covid Era 2020 was to increase human interaction. Due to
CodeChef Chapters, we got to engage with the community, made teams, interacted with our college
mates, and hosted events. It filled the void we had in 2020. We cemented online bonds and got a
concrete team and family after lockdown.”
Rishav Mishra, CodeChef Silicon Chapter
“We are a new college on the run and amidst the pandemic we missed the chance to kick start our
Programming journey in the right way. CodeChef College Chapters helped us in introducing the
concept of community for the very first time in our college. We got a community where
competitive programmers were ready to come together and uplift the spirit of Competitive
Programming in our Campus. Thank you CodeChef.”
Shubham Tribedi, CodeChef SNU Chapter
"Being a Codechef Chapter Lead, the program helped me improve my programming, public speaking, management, and leadership skills. The responsibility of organizing events, contests and solving doubts of competitive programming gives me joy. Thanks to Codechef for providing us with the opportunity, and I hope Codechef continues pushing competitive programming to greater heights in every college in India. Cheers!"
