What is Tcs Codevita?
TCS Codevita is a competitive programming contest in which real life problems are to be solved. Many countries participate in this contest.
The contest is very difficult and it need a lot of practice to clear the contest. Student of any stream doing engineering
can apply for the test and give the test. Till 2020, TCS has success fully completed 8 seasons of Codevita. TCS Codeivita contest comes one time in a year.

MY Codevita Performance -
I participated in 2020 and solved two questions in the first round and got a rank of 5,535 out of 60K students. I also got a job offer from TCS in Ninja Profile.
I also participated in the second round but was not able to solve more questions. I solved only one question.
I will recommend all the Engineering students to take part in it and avail a job offer for yourself.
