Before getting into talking about this year's Codevita I thought it would be fitting to make a mention of CodeVita 2012. In CodeVita 2012, only batch of FY 13 (last year students) were eligible to participate.
Following picture tells the story :

Top ~269 teams advanced to Second round and Top 10 from round 2 moved to CodeVita Finals conducted at pristine location of TCS Sahyadri Park in Pune.

Prof. Sahasrabuddhe made an interesting observation last year. Out of 27k students, there were only 30 finalists. So the odds of making it to the Finals are 1:1000. If that was the case last year, imagine what can happen this year when batches of FY 14, 15 and 16 are eligible.
Approximately 4 Lakh students graduate from Engineering and Science backgrounds every year. Considering batches of 3 years, potentially 12 Lakh students are eligible to participate. Even if CodeVita 2013 manages to attract One-twelvefth of that, there will be a Lakh participants. The odds of making to the Finals then become 1:5000.
Only the best of the best and those with passion for programming will move forward. Darwin's Survival of the Fittest theory will be exemplified and in the whole process India's new star programmers will be born. Are you the one?
