CodeVita Practice Contests to begin on 29th July, 2013

Monday, 29th July TCS CodeVita 2013 website will be launched. Between 29th July to 10th Aug the site will run Practice contests. The following is true for Practice Contests


  1. Practice contests should be used by the participants to familiarize themselves with the UI of the Website.
  2. A list of compilers / interepreters / language versions supported by CodeVita platform is already made public. Participants should take the opportunity to test their software infrastructure like Compilers, Network Settings, Browser compatibility etc so that you are well-prepared for the day of contest (13th Aug 2013).
  3. The website has some new technology in form of Websockets for pushing notifications to participant browser. It is recommended to use latest versions of browsers like Chrome and FireFox for this functionality to be functional
  4. The Website has functionalities like Reports, Personalization (for configuring notifications to be received) and Feedback. These may or may not be made available in Practice Contests. If these are made available participants should explore these functionalities, especially the  different reports that are available to know how rest of the Competition is doing.
  5. College students, participating from their college premises may face issues in accessing modern functionality like Websocket push. If that is the case, participants should take up the issues with their Network Administrator.
  6. Access over general internet through ISPs like Tata, Reliance etc, from Home network or personal network devices, should not face any issues in accessing full functionality of the website.
  7. The site might be best viewed in a 1024 x 768 pixel resolution.
Best wishes to all the CodeVita participants !!!
