Very surprised not to see MIT and Duke on this list. They were such seminal universities for the hacking scene in general back in the 70's and 80's. I guess the landscape has just changed too much.

- Rooster61 10y agoYeah upon closer examination, I realized how poor the selection process was. Having it biased based on people that use hackerrank makes the list pretty useless IMO. It's far from an accurate portrayal of the best programming schools in the world.
- sulam 10y agoTrust me, as someone who routinely interviews new grads from many "top" schools, MIT still has great programmers. So do CMU and Stanford, neither of which are on this list. HackerRank is unintentionally demonstrating that they are not a factor when it comes to evaluating interns and new grads from schools that are already well-recognized for having talented students.
