CodeVita- TCS Global Coding Contest
Are you up for the challenge of competing against the best student coders in the world?
CodeVita is a test of programming skills in one of the most challenging 24-hour coding competitions for students, hosted by Tata Consultancy Services, one of the top three global brands in IT services, consulting and business solutions. As the second largest recruiter of IT services in the United States, TCS is looking for the brighteststudent coders to compete.
This year, CodeVita is an individual challenge that pits you against students across the globe with $20,000 in prizes on the line. The contest is split into two rounds. The first round starts on December 9, 2017 and runs through December 10, 2017. Coders have six hours to solve six real-world computer programming problems. The top 15 ranked individuals globally will advance to the second and final round, which will be held in India in Feb/Mar 2018. In addition to bragging rights, the top coder will win a $10,000 prize and an internship opportunity with the TCS Chief Technology Officer Team. Second place takes home a $7,000 prize and third place takes home $3,000 prize.
Last year, 261,000 registrants from 3,908 institutions and 40+ countries competed, using 10different coding languages.
