Instructions for Participants:


g

- Ensure that you are familiar with the competition format and practice using past CodeVita

questions.

- Focus on optimizing your code for both time and space complexity, as this is critical in competitive

programming.

- Make use of the practice environment provided by TCS to get accustomed to the interface.

- Manage your time effectively during the competition. Attempt easier questions first before moving

on to harder ones.
- Participate in mock contests to simulate real competition conditions and improve your speed.

Tips for Preparation:


- **Daily Practice**: Solve 2-3 problems daily from platforms like LeetCode, Codeforces, or

CodeChef.

- **Focus on Weak Areas**: Identify and work on your weak areas, whether it's dynamic

programming, graphs, or any other topic.

- **Join Study Groups**: Engaging with peers can help you learn faster and expose you to different
D

problem-solving approaches.
at

- **Participate in Online Contests**: Platforms like Codeforces and CodeChef host regular contests

that can help you prepare under time constraints.
