TCS Global Coding Contest
TCS CodeVita has been proudly promoting the Programming as a contest among global students where individuals across the globe participate and compete to win the coveted 'World's excellent Coder' title.
Introduction:- TCS CodeVita is a sport, I mean literally. Take any sport, let consider cricket for that matter, you walk in to bat for the first time. Swing and a miss, do it couple of times and you’ll eventually hit one over the ropes. Now, consider a programming contest as a game of cricket, metaphorically.
Last season(TCS CodeVita 8), students from 95 countries participated in this contest. The finale had students from 8 countries, who battled it out for the desirable title.
Welcome to CodeVita Season 9, let’s make it bigger and better than ever before.
Purpose of the Contest:- The main objective for the contest is to sharpen the contestants' programming skills through some real-life computing practices. The contest also-
