Introduction on the CodeVita Season 8 Portal

Sports 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 8th 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!

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.
The last edition saw 2,00,000+ registrations from over 60+ countries across 3000+ institutes and the students
used 10 programming languages. We had participants from 10 countries battling it out in the Grand finale!
Sounds interesting already? Read on as more excitement unfolds.
