TCS CodeVita Preparation 2023

Here are the tips to get prepared for the upcoming Contest.

1. Choose your Programming Language:

To get a problem solved in the test who must be familiar with any of the programming languages in which you are comfortable. My suggestion is to go with the C++ or Python language.

If you don’t know any of the programming languages then believe in your strengths it will give you positivity.

2. Choose the Right Platform:

If you have selected any programming language in which you are comfortable then, you will need a platform for practice coding.

According to my experience, you should go with Hackerrank. Hackerrank is the best platform to practice coding because Hackerrank contains all the best programmers to come to solve programming problems.

You can also use alternate platforms like HackerEarth and Codechef for practicing the coding.

Expected Cutoff

According to Students Experience, the candidates who solved only one question were called for a Pre-Placement interview at TCS. But this year it will be more challenging to attempt one question.

If you want to get qualified for TCS CodeVita Round 1 you must solve at least 2 questions out of 6.

Pattern of Interview

The Interview takes place in three steps:

  • Technical Interview
  • HR Interview
  • Managerial Round interview(MR)

All of these interviews take place in a single day.

In the Technical round, the questions will be asked on the programming languages which you mentioned in their Resume. The thought process is done in the HR Interview.

The Confidence is been checked in the HR Interview.
