Introduction on the CodeVita Season 9 Portal: Codevita is not just a game, it’s Culture! It connects people from varied backgrounds and ethnicities regardless of physical and cultural boundaries. It is also a great way to compete beyond borders and a lot of fun. At TCS, we firmly believe in this philosophy that programming can be both fun and challenging, this led to the inception of “CodeVita – To Promote Programming as a Sport”.
This is the 9th season of the contest taking the joy of programming across the globe.
We hope the competitive programmer in you feels the challenge and the fun!
Registrations for Global Phase is open till 1st December 2020.
CodeVita : The TCS Global Coding Contest for Students
To try, to err, to practice, to evolve, to improve, to compete, to win, to rejoice. Aren’t these traits so very human? In fact, these traits are characteristic of games or sports. It is this similarity that got us thinking on taking the wonderful skill of programming a notch higher. We infused the essence of these traits into programming by making it a sport and ‘lo and behold’ CodeVita was born.
First season of CodeVita was held in 2012 in India with an aim to spread the awareness on the various applications and use of coding. This helped us spot bright programming talent. Encouraged by the good response we got from 2 domestic seasons, we decided to go global in 2014. In our very first global edition, we had 6 teams in the finals, thus strengthening our belief that now we can be truly global.
Season 8 saw over 2,30,000 registrations from over 89 countries across 3500+ institutes and the students used 8 programming languages. We had participants from 5 countries battling it out in the Grand finale!
