Three students from IIIT-Hyderabad, Shiven, Hari, and Sushil, went to compete!
They had to solve tricky problems using computers.
They did super well, finishing 73rd in the world and making the 'Honours list' by solving half the problems.
They also took part in a special challenge by Huawei, and they got 11th place, which was really impressive!
They practiced hard and learned from each other to prepare for the challenges.
This shows how good they are at coding!
