TCS CodeVita 2020 Season 9 is going to start from July 2020. You can also register for TCS CodeVita Season 9 with this link

In this article, we are going to provide you proper guidelines and important tips that are essential in order to crack TCS CodeVita Season 9.

As we all know, CodeVita is one of the TCS Hiring Contest for Ninja (3.36 lpa) and Digital Profile (7 lpa) across the nation. This, indeed, a great opportunity for young minds (passing out year : 2021) to get hired in India’s most admired brand – TCS.

TCS CodeVita Round-1 will be containing 6 coding problems that are framed in such a way that they test your :

1. Analytical mind
2. Logical mind
3. Implementation skills

Difficulty level of Coding Problems

Well, from the above survey we concluded that :

2 Problems – Easy Level

2 Problems – Medium Level

2 Problems – Hard/ Expert Level

Important Topics to Prepare

1. Dynamic Programming
2. Greedy Algorithms
3. Backtracking
4. Stack
5. Queue
6. Mapping Concepts
7. Array manipulation
8. String manipulation
9. Tree
10. Graph

1. Choose your Weapon – Programming Language

In order to solve a coding problem, you’ll need a programming language to implement your logic. You should always choose a language in which you are most comfortable with. However, we’ll suggest you to code either in C++ or Python. However, if you don’t know any of these two languages, then don’t panic just believe in your strengths.

2. Choose a Platform to Practice

After selecting a programming language, you need a platform in which you can practice coding problems.

We suggest you Hackerrank. But why ?

See, there is no hard and fast rule that you should use Hackerrank only, you can also use other coding platforms like – Hackerearth, codechef etc. for practicing coding problems.

HackerRank is a place where programmers from all over the world come together to solve problems in a wide range of Computer Science domains such as algorithms, machine learning, or artificial intelligence, as well as to practice different programming paradigms or language specific like Python.

3. What should be my approach ?

Analyze where you stand – Check out your current status and based on that “analyze whether you will be able to crack that exam with your current skill set or you need to prepare more.”For that, best way is to check out the coding questions that were asked in TCS CODEVITA SEASON 8 last year : TCS CodeVita Coding Questions and practice here : http://practice.tcscodevita.com

1. If you don’t have any experience with competitive programming or you are a beginner, then first try to solve problems that have easy difficulty level, and once you get familiar with it, try to increase your level with a decent pace and move on to medium or hard level.

2. If you are in a habit of solving such coding problems, then all you need is to carry-on your momentum. Participate in some of the mock coding contests to train yourself for final showdown.

Since, the race is all about getting an efficient solution for a given problem statement, here we are the important algorithms that can serve you for this purpose :

Expected Cut-off

From the last year analysis, it was observed that people who completed even a single question were called for Pre-Placement Interview at TCS. But, this year, things have been more challenging and more competitive.

In order to clear TCS CodeVita 2020 Round-1, you need to solve atleast 2 or more coding problems out of 6.

What’s the pattern of Interview ?

TCS Interview Process takes place at 3 steps :

1. Technical Interview
2. HR Interview
3. Managerial Round Interview (MR)

All 3 interview rounds take place in a single day.

In technical round, they basically question you from your resume, programming languages you know, your subject of interests, your projects and most importantly they can even ask you about the coding problems that you solved in your CodeVita Round-1, so prepare yourself accordingly.

Main motive of HR interview is to check the thought-process of an interviewee as well as his/her confidence level.

Key to nail any HR interview round is your confidence.
