The contest was held in Amman and brought together 74 teams from 14 Jordanian universities.
The PSUT team clinched first place, while two teams from the University of Jordan took second and third.
The two-day event began with a trial round to help participants get familiar with the judging system. The official five-hour contest was held on the second day, where student teams worked to solve 14 programming and algorithmic problems. Rankings were based on the number of correct solutions and how quickly each team submitted them.

She praised the students’ strong performance and the professional organization of the contest.
