.
- CodeVita season II was a huge success by having more than 1.3Lakh individual registrations in its account. If we divide number of user on basis of Recruitment branch of TCS. Mumbai Region was winner which defeated last year winner Chennai.
Hope you all enjoyed this journey of Coding
with us .It’s time for us to say bye to CodeVita2013.
See you all again in CodeVita2014 with new spirit and fun !!
Good Bye CodeVita2013..!!
