Nurture Camp outcomes

Six weeks in, here is what you walk away with.

Graph of problems solved over the course of the camp

80+ CP Problems Solved

Not a problem dump - a guided ladder. Each week's set drills the pattern that week taught, so the count turns into recall you can use under time pressure.

  • 80+ problems across the 6 weeks
  • Fundamentals first, then patterns
  • Doubts cleared by mentors and CodeGenie

Solve 1600+ rated problems

Rated problems are where DSA stops being theory. The middle weeks are built so that a 1600 reads as a plan of attack rather than a wall.

  • Math intuition for CP in Week 2
  • Adhoc and Codeforces practice in Week 3
  • Binary search, greedy and constructive in Week 4

A flexworthy Dev Project of your own!

The last two weeks turn to development. You ship something real and playable of your own, then present it on Demo Day.

  • Weeks 5 and 6 are intro to development
  • AI-assisted dev workflow
  • Capstone project plus Demo Day

Get addicted to beating friends in Contests!

A leaderboard full of strangers is a chore; one full of people you have been learning beside all week is a reason to show up. Contests run inside your own cohort.

  • Compete inside your cohort
  • Small tribes, peers across the globe
  • Fun events running alongside

Learner testimonials

Real words from students who took the camp.

I learnt to trust the algorithms. I used to mug up algorithms but after learning from Manas sir now I can solve complex problems intuitively.

I recently attended sessions focused on Data Structures and Algorithms (Graphs), and I must say, the approach to problem-solving was simply incredible. The analogies and methods used were so simple and easy to understand that even the toughest problems seemed approachable. These sessions truly made one of the most challenging topics in DSA comprehensible. Highly recommended for anyone struggling with DSA concepts!

Words cannot describe how happy I feel that I attended it. I got to know a very new way of thinking to solve a question. The best part is he keeps taking frequent polls to check if everyone is understanding or not. Reads all doubts, all submitted answers by students. The most dedicated teacher I have ever seen.

Manas sir's teaching is amazing, I never thought I could learn the super tough topic graphs so easily. He explained all the tips, tricks and recipes in such a way that even the beginners were able to solve ICPC-level problems. Learning from him changed my perspective on problem solving forever. MKV sir OG!

It was a really good experience learning with them. They explained each and every concept in an easy and simple way. Their approach of solving questions was really amazing. I enjoyed learning with them.
I've heard from my seniors that Manas sir is a big personality. After learning from him, even tough topics like graphs look pretty easy.

This was the first time I had been to any camp of DSA. Initially I thought it is just 3 days, and I never thought that I would be learning at this pace, so I can really solve hard problems in Graph. The way of teaching of Manas sir is completely different and very intuitive -- his teaching builds the solution in the student's mind, not in the notebook. So glad I attended this camp. Thank you sir!
