The ICPC Southern Vietnam Regional Contest attracted a large number of participants.
Le Hoai Thuong, a rare female contestant from UIT in this year's ICPC, commented: "I find this year's exam not excessively difficult compared to previous years. However, considering my current abilities, I think I can only complete 6 out of 12 problems in today's round."

After nearly 5 hours of intense competition, contestants from the 26 teams successfully completed their exams. The highest result in the ICPC Southern Vietnam Regional Contest from UIT belonged to the team "KNS. Love is pain" with a score of 1414 and 10 out of 12 problems solved. Nguyen Thai Son, a talented student from the class of 2023, shared: "For us, this year's Southern region exam was very diverse, covering a wide range of knowledge. This required our team to divide tasks according to each member's strengths. The exam pushed us to our limits. Achieving such a high result today required a lot of effort from the whole team, so I am very satisfied with the outcome. The team's goal is to maintain the first position at UIT in all 3 rounds and bring victory in the National Contest."
