FAQ

  • Each category includes tasks of varying difficulty. This means that participants of all skill levels can take on interesting and challenging problems.
  • No, these are open competitions for everyone interested. The top twenty finalists in each category will be offered a simplified selection process for Yandex — we are always looking for strong specialists.
  • At the qualifying stage, you can compete in several areas, but in the semifinals, you need to choose one. The preliminary rounds in each area are presented in the form of a virtual contest. The duration of the selection for each area varies, and the exact time is specified in the Rules.
  • The qualification takes place over a week. You can start solving tasks at any time, but it’s important to finish within the allotted time — a few hours, depending on the area.
